I will get back to you if I can play the content of the created ISO with a player like WInAmp, VLC etc.-Shades (June 28, 2009, 01:41 PM)
As for ripping. NO, I want everything to be the identical, exact same.You either get identical audio, or you get a cd-image where audio might or might not be identical, bu the rest of the structure is. This is one of the unfortunate consequences of the audio cd standard: it doesn't have the same repositioning and checksum information that data CDs have, and thus you need audio ripping routines that are more complex than simply making data CD images.
FLAC is meant to be lossless, so it shouldn't matter which program rips it, since it does, I wouldn't touch it for a permanent archive.FLAC is lossless, the problem is the process of getting the audio from the CD. Using a proper audio ripping tool guarantees that this is done correctly - EAC is good, and also supports AccurateRip.
Music CDs can be compiled into ISOs.-Innuendo (June 29, 2009, 11:43 AM)

Just a suggestion: DAEMON Tools Lite (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite) (Free for non-commercial use.)
It can image an audio disc and also mount it, as well as other formats.-4wd

So, if I create something that resembles a CD, but really just uses the CD format to carry a harmful digital payload to damage your system, I'm just an artist protecting my rights.:P
but...
If I create something that resembles an email message, but really just uses the email message format to carry a harmful digital payload to damage your system, I'm just an evil hacker who's likely to be spending time in prison.
Yup. Makes sense to me.

For a few $$, this may do the trick.Fine for data CDs, but do they have decent audio-ripping code?

Umm, no offense but I think you should check out the latest version which does allow you to create images....-4wd (July 01, 2009, 07:24 PM)
This must be a relatively new addition to the Lite product - the product page (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite) mentions that Lite can create images, but the comparison table (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/compare) indicates that it can't.-mwb1100 (July 02, 2009, 01:35 AM)
