EAC doesnt workd!!!

I made everything excatly like at the instruction of Chris Myden and clicked at the MP3-Button but instate it just copy the WaveFiles out of the CD and don't convert them at all??
How can this happen eventhough I clicked MP3 and made everything right?? A major bug??:(
And how can I make it faster? The speed never goes over x2 which is way too slow.

thanks

Seems like nobody here knows anything about EAC....however I tried the instruction of Teqnilogik from this Forum but the only thing I could figure out was how to speed up the speed but it still don't convert the files into MP3. I don't even think that this program can do that. Only extract the waves of the cd. Pretty useless in this case.

EAC alone will only rip wave files. You needto configure it to use the LAME MP3 encoder in the external compression settings. It sounds to me like you did not setup LAME correctly with EAC. Try my guide on my web site and see if you can get it working (link in my signature).

Please, give us longer than 2 hours to answer your question. There are a lot of people here who know how to use EAC so don't get your panties in a bunch.

Follow what Teqnilogik said. Follow his guide as IT TELLS YOU EVERYTHING.

Well and that's what I did with lame and --alt-preset standard.
Do I have to tipe just --alt-preset standard or anything in auddition to it like numbers and where can I find the Exe-File to 3.96.1 Stable?

www.rarewares.org

There you can find the Lame mp3 encoder. I highly recomend using 3.97b1 simply because it is surpasing 3.96.1 in quality, is faster, and will soon become the final version. Hydrogenaudio considers 3.97b1 stable to use. Just a note though, the filed you download will be in the *.zip format and you will need to Unzip the lame.exe file. If you use 3.97b1 then use the following command instead of preset standard: -V 2 --vbr-new

If you use Lame 3.96.1 then use the following command : --alt-preset standard

Though the link to download Lame was IN Teqnilogik's guide.

Edit: www.rarewares.org seems to be down now. You can also Google "Lame 3.96.1" or "Lame 3.97b1" to find websites that offer it up for download.

Thanks but would it affect the file somehow if I still use --alt-preset standard?

With Lame 3.96.1 or Lame 3.90.3 it is better to use the "--alt-preset standard" command while Lame 3.97b1 is better to use the "-V 2 --vbr-new" command. The presets (preset standard, preset extreme, and preset insane) are being abandoned with future Lame releases. If you use Lame 3.07b1 then you should really use "-V 2 --vbr-new" as it produces higher quality files that the preset standard command.
