Hi there bud!!
Interesting you should mention that. As I said, I used it too - then
just sort of let it slip away.
I also downloaded Exactaudiocopy on a writeup in a magazine. I loaded
it first, but couldn't get it to make MP3s, only wav files. Wav files
work on the computer, but the program I use to play my MP3s doesn't
recognize wav files -- I use a little program called 1by1 to play
MP3s. I couldn't see a way to get to MP3s directly from
Exactaudiocopy...........though I admit I didn't spend a lot of time
looking. I'd also downloaded Audiograbber.
I installed audiograbber and it ran perfectly, did MP3 files, and also
had the title-lookup built in...........worked for me <chuckle>
Do you really see a great difference in the quality of the results?
In Exactaudiocopy I set it up for 160 bit. Wav files are inherently
larger than MP3s, and 160 bit makes them even larger. I ended up with
3-4 meg files for each song. If I converted the wav files to MP3s,
I'd sue up even more HD space. With Audiograbber, I got MP3 files
(with no intermediate wav file) directly with files sizes around 1.5
megs. With the quantity of files I keep on the hard drive, that
reduction seems important (800 gig hard drive space, RAID 0, but many
thousand MP3 files). So far, I haven't noticed any bad pops, gaps,
etc. in the music.

| Hey, KC,
