Why use this over default ripping software like iTunes or Windows Media Player? Exact Audio Copy reads and copies files almost exactly perfectly. I think that’s an accurate way description - basically, it copies (or “rips”) music from your CDs to your hard drive.
Can you make those digital files copied from your CD sound better? You bet.Įxact Audio Copy (EAC) calls itself an “audio grabber” for audio CDs. Now you’ve ripped CDs before, and they’re far from lossless. Also, they’re a source of great, high quality, lossless music. Nostalgia or not, I think they’re still of great use: CDs are physical backups of all the music that you can’t live without. I can’t really explain why - perhaps I’m old-fashioned, or maybe I grew up in a weird time - but I remember going to the local music store to pick up new CDs on Tuesdays, and listening to it on the car ride home, or plopping it into my Discman. As far as the phone I think there is an option to load your ALAC files on the phone at lower bit rates automatically if storage on the phone is an issue and you don’t want lossless on the phone.I absolutely love CDs. IMO if you are going to go through this you should definitely create and keep a lossless version rather than not do that now and find out years later you should have. Itunes does not do FLAC, and I wouldn’t hold your breath that they ever will, so if you want lossless and easy with itunes ALAC would work (per the post above I believe you could always convert ALAC to FLAC later if needed, but yes I agree ALAC is the choice more so only if you are staying all apple I do both Pono and FiiO DAPs so go FLAC for those, but keep some lossy mp4s for the iphone for space and ease via itunes so I see the argument either way-I don’t complain about itunes as much as others). I do and it is free and easy to use, will provide accurate rips, can convert between formats, does some basic tagging.
