    I got it but it does not seem to do wav/cue ripping?

    EDIT: I can make it rip as one wav, but .CUE?

    As for CUE files, EAC is probaly the best program for creating them at the same time as you rip.

    BTW, open a cue file in notepad and you will see it is a very simple text file you can edit/create them your self with note pad.
    The thing i like about Cue files is thet if you rip a whole CD to a WAV, then re-encode that wav to MP3, WMA, Lossless FLAC or whatever, all you have to do is edit one line in the cue file for it to work with the new file.

    Don't give up on EAC, its the don of rippers, it's not not very simple to use. Have a look at some of the guides here... http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

    I had nightmares with it mate. Plus i hate the interface and dim witted options and lack of functionalty. It simple but its too simple imo. If EAC, CDex or even Audiograbber did not exist i would give it another go but they are much better. I guess it depends if you are a 'power' user or just want to rip the odd MP3 something and not have to think about whats actually going on and if there are better and higher quality ways to do it.

    I've had to bit bang data into an MPEG decoder ic before, and when i want to rip CDs all i care about is getting it to flac, with my lack of space, it can crunch it for as long as it wants, so all i need is the ability to tell it to proccess, where to save, and what naming convention?

    What options is it missing?

    If you are using Linux, GRIP is excellent, but you may want to get the latest version of LAME (the MP3 encoder)
