When I first came to Head-Fi, I was overwhelmed with new concepts and information, and I found EAC intimidating (while simultaneously trying to learn Foobar, Rockbox, and a few other such things).
Thererore, I looked for alternatives and found Easy CD-DA Extractor Professional, available from www.poikosoft.com. It was suggested by someone as a user-friendly alternative to EAC on one of the audio boards, but I don't remember where/who. I was very pleased with the versatility and ease of use of this extraction and conversion software, and have remained happy with it. It has a very intuitive user interface. It is not free, but it's not very expensive either.
Easy CD-DA Extractor supports various CD reading/error correction strategies, and has integrated freedb for tagging.
Now, I am wondering whether I did the right thing. I have had no audible problems with ripping, but I do not know if I am getting bitperfect rips or not, or whether I would get better results if I bother to learn EAC.
So, here's a couple of questions:
1) Does anyone else use Easy CD-DA, and if so, what do you think of it?;
2) How can I test files I have ripped to see if they are, in fact, bit perfect?
Thanks for any input.
