Actually, that was a pretty dumb mistake to make. I'm still doing something wrong, though, because this time the file was a little tiny M3U file that I couldn't do anything with.
However, I did figure out how to use the FLAC Frontend to encode the WAVs I ripped with EAC, which is frustrating, if I should be able to do it all within EAC, but at least gets me to the same place. I downloaded MediaMonkey and (as near as I can tell), played my first FLAC file.
Thing is, the resulting file is not very compressed: 50MB down to 41MB (?). That's almost not worth the trouble. Isn't this supposed to be ~50% compression?

As for the bit rate stuff - if you use FLAC the bit rate stuff is ignored as EAC calls a DOS window to run FLAC with the command line you supply. |
