Calling EAC + Flac gurus (questions)

[PCMusicGuy]

So I setup EAC and flac on my system so I can rip some CDs. In the settings of EAC, I point it to flac.exe and select for it to delete the wav files. It rips the tracks to wav files with file names such as "Come Back To Me.wav", converts it to flac with a file name like "Ctmp0-!55.flac" and correctly tags it, but it does not delete the wav file. Am I missing something? Also, is there anyway to get a less cryptic file name for the flac file? Thanks in advance.

Extra step, but try using the FLAC frontend for the coding? There is an option to delete the .wav as well.

I'd recommend REACT if you haven't checked it out already.

you may want to try this command line in EAC

-5 -T "Artist=%a" -T "Title=%t" -T "Album=%g" -T "Date=%y" -T "Tracknumber=%n" -T "Genre=%m" %s -o %d

at least it works for me....

Thanks, I will try the suggestions here and let you know how it turns out.

Turns out that you have to have the delete option selected in both the Flac Frontend and EAC to actually delete the wav files.

My command line was very similar to yours only I was missing the last few characters. I added it and it works like a charm now.

Thanks to you both.
