How to rip a CD as a single file with EAC?

[jesse_w]

Pardon if this has already been asked, but how do you setup EAC to rip (& then compress with LAME) a CD as a single file (to get gapless)? More of a portable question, but I figure the EAC experts probably hang out here. Searching I only found people saying to do this, not how to. I haven't found anything that obviously does this in EAC. Thanks,

Well, rip it as an "IMG" which results two files: a .wav which is the CD as a single file and a .cue. Can't help you if you want to identify the separate songs though.

Dunno about EAX, but in Audiograbber...

Select the last track, right click "track properties" Highlight the end sector number, press CTRL C (ie 200,000). Close that dialog box.
De-select all tracks except track 1. Right click on track 1, and where it says end sector press CRTL V. 200,000 will appear. Edit Track 1 name to album. Apply settings.
Then select Grab.
It'll read the CD as one big file, and encode as one big file.

I do this with the CD's with no pre-gap, gets around the missing gapless feature on my DAP

and if you want you can compress the wav but you have to edit the .cue

open the .cue in whatever player and it will have all the tracks show up and you can play any single song you want and skip tracks just like you would with the cd or separate files
