Oh you're another one of those better than everyone else assholes.
Maybe you should be in RAO instead of here doucheweasel?

Any thoughts on the best file for archiving music???

Linear PCM perhaps ?

That wasn't an option. Exact Audio Copy is what the program is and I
guess it offers an archiving feature. I've had a couple of people
recommend it as making the best quality cd copies and rips of any other
app available.


If you are ripping a CD, they use Linear PCM, so Exact Audio Copy will
give you a LPCM archive - that is the only option.


Not if you configure EAC to pass the .wav file onto a file compressor. Indeed, EAC comes
'loaded' with an mp3 codec for that (some version of LAME, IIRC), and a handy graphic button
labelled 'MP3' to rip a CD 'directly' to compressed format, but you can point it to FLAC.exe
or any other codec you've got.

Looks like I made the right choice.

And you feel FLAC can not be an exact audio copy, why exactly?
In any case I'm sure there are as many people who use EAC to create MP3
files as use it purely for wave files. I have no problem using it for BOTH
myself.

That is for the archive function which is optional. It does not
cause it to cease making an exact copy.

Then you don't understand the process. EAC does indeed make
as exact a copy as possible (given the minimalist error detection
and correction on Red-Book audio CDs)

What you choose to do with that exact copy is up to you (as it
should be). If you choose to use lossy compression (such as
MP3, etc.) then you made your own decision to make the
"copy" not-exact. But you can't blame that on EAC.

Apparently you failed to understand my original question and it's
purpose far more than I misunderstand the process and I really don't
have the motivation to address that or how "But you can't blame that on
EAC." has nothing to do with anything in this thread. I've gotten the
answer I needed and the "Wizard" has long finished what it was doing.

And you apparently are ignoring the fact that your
misstatement went on your permanent record (i.e.
Google Groups Archive). Misstatement of facts
should not go unchallengd in the record.

WTF are you talking about??? Please quote the "misstatement."

My damn question was WMA or FLAC because the EAC configuration wizard
asked "How would you like to save files for archiving? WMA lossless, or
FLAC. With a check box beside each one. I was told that it will save
files without archiving but if you choose to archive it saves in the
format you chose.

It only stops being an exact copy if you use a lossy codec. A lossless one is,
well, *lossless*, and a lossless compressed EAC rip can be expanded back
into an exact copy.
