Hi, Goggle/Search on these forum has found what I am looking for. Does anyone have a good link to a guide for using EAC to FLAC.
 
Damn. I need to include thaat compendium of commandline switches in the FAQ. That's golden. I guess I also need to to revise BO(V)BZ's writup. Someone actually did ask the question. Perhaps I'll include it in an appendix: Should Be Asked Questions. :)
 
Thanks everyone that was very helpful.

I haven't tried the single disc to one file thing yet but I did notice something odd on the rip I did do. I used the command line for FLAC listed on the link

-T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

But the ripped files only have have track name and not the other info, artist, album, etc. Is that normal?

It was cool to final compare lossless to MP3 track to track back to back. Big difference.

I'll revise it myself, damnit =]

I've actually stopped doing the Matroska images myself, due to the extra overhead required for it. However, you can configure FLACattack to produce FLAC images, giving you faster tag writing/reading, but you lose the ability to store tags for each song, so I'm just back to using individual files. It's just a damn shame that the internal cue in FLAC files is castrated so badly that it won't let you store extraneous info... all it keeps is artist, album, and track number IIRC.
