It seems like with ripping CDs there are many ways to skin the cat, some more appropriate than others, depending on final objective.
This is what I've started doing. Please let me know if this makes sense before I rip a few hundred CDs:
1) In EAC create a cue sheet using "multiple files with gaps (non-compliant)"
2) In EAC choose test and copy selected tracks, compressed, using .flac
3) Edit cue sheet to refer to .flac files instead of .wav files
4) use dbpowerAMP to convert .flac files to .ogg files for use with my flash player
I'm not quite sure about the cue sheet business. I could just use copy image and create cue sheet but then I'm left with one track. I think that would be harder to convert to individual .ogg files. I'm creating cue sheets so it will be easier to convert back to CDs if I ever want/need to, but honestly, I haven't tried going back to uncompressed yet so I'm not even sure if this is going to help me.
Any advice or tweaks are appreciated.
