So I'm trying to rip CDs to WAV in EAC and even though I type artist and album title in the EAC boxes the files don't have that information.

Is there an easy way to rip via EAC while keeping the artist and album title?

If not, is there a way to write that information to the files (I tried via foobar but unlike flac, it won't let me change the properties of the files).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okey dokey.

From what I've gathered I can first burn a cue sheet then burn the wav.

Then foobar will recognize the cue sheet and associate the files.

Then I can convert the cue sheet associated wavs to mp3s through foobar to get mp3 copies.

EAC -> EAC Options -> Filename

Verify that the generic naming scheme is what you want.

***

Database -> Get CD Information From -> Remote freedb

This will automatically fill in the appropriate file name values. You'll need to fill in your e-mail address in EAC -> freedb / Database Options first.

***

EAC -> Compression Options -> Waveform

Enable ID3 tag.

***

EAC -> Compression Options -> ID3 Tag

This will allow you to configure how the tags are entered.

***

In order to have the ID3 tags in the MP3s, it might be a good idea to setup EAC to generate the MP3s instead of doing it afterward.

Got it to work with wav - now trying to do the same with mp3

I'm following the instructions here and downloaded lame, but can't find the lame exe file in the folder of the latest lame version.

any help in configuring eac for mp3 (at 320) would be great thanks!

Well, I found out how to convert it to 320 mp3 via foobar thanks to this thread.

Would still love to know how to do it with EAC - i tried pointing it to a lame file in audicity and when i copy compressed or hit the mp3 button it still creates wavs instead of mp3s.

Take a look here - http://www2.firehose.us:81/~jiggafellz/eac/index.html

Its well worth setting up EAC properly, its no better than any other ripper unless you are using the proper settings with test AND copy.

Some options can become personal preference after a while. For instance with 0.99 the accuraterip.dll is there from the start, I delete it. I also dont use their suggested read offset, as its wrong.

Definitely go through jiGGafellz' EAC guide. By the time you're done, you'll have ideal rips. It also has a section on configuring encoders, including LAME.
