Whats eac and lame ecoder?

eac extracts the audio and lame encodes the mp3.

Yes, they're programs and they're also FREE.

Here is a link from the guy that turned me onto this.

But you have to follow the directions exactly.

EAC should look those up automatically from the CDDB or Freedb when you insert the disc. Assuming you're connected to the internet that is. Go into the "Database" tab and drop down to the "Get CD Information From" and select "Remote Freedb". This should look it up for you.

cool, i will try that on my next disc, it didn't do it automatically for the first one. so i had to manually enter the info for each track.

the process for ripping an album takes a good chunk of time huh?

Well that depends mostly on your drive. I have a DVD writer and DVD rom. The DVD rom is much faster at ripping than the DVD writer is. But yeah, it's all about accuracy and not so much about speed. If I'm ripping more than a few tracks off a disc I start it and then start doing something else around the house while I'm waiting.

yeah i ripped a whole album, so that's probably why...
