I'm not putting any executable program on my computer unless it comes from a reliable source, and web sites I know nothing about don't count as reliable sources. >You would typically use it in conjunction with another program (such >as "lame") Not ANOTHER program?! I'm having enough trouble convincing myself I want the one. >which would encode the audio data you extracted into a compressed >format like MP3. No, no, I listen to classical music: I do NOT want a compressed format and the accompanying degradation of sound quality. >Also, EAC has the option to query CDDB for the track names, then name >the files appropriately. A friend of mine with a Mac has ITunes, or whatever Steve Jobs's music- for-sale biz is called, but instead of buying tunes he uses it to organize his music files on his computer. What intrigues me about it is that if he puts a music CD in his computer, the program looks it up in some database somewhere and displays a track list. What I would like to do is query that database. I don't want to get music from it, but if it's as complete as it looks, I would like to be able to find out what things have been recorded and who's recorded them.
