It might take a few rips to get all the errors out. Scroll through the log and make sure you do not have any errors. xACT will also automatically bring up the ripping log. I will post a trouble shooting note at the bottom of this tutorial for if your CD becomes stuck in the drive.*Īfter the ripping process is complete, the CD will appear back on the desktop and Finder. If you quit while the CD is still ripping, it will not appear back on the desktop. *Note: xACT may appear to be unresponsive during the ripping progress, and the CD will also disappear from the desktop and Finder. Once you have that chosen, you can click choose, and xACT will start to extract the tracks. I just made a folder on my desktop named "Legion of Boom" to match the album name. Then in xACT, click Execute, and another window will appear asking you where to save the WAV files. Once you click "Add Files" they will appear in the box in xACT. (press Command + A) Then click "Add Files" at the bottom of the Finder window. Navigate to the CD in your finder, and select all the tracks. Next click "add" near the bottom of xACT, and a window will come up for you to select where the audio tracks are that you will be ripping. Then at the top of xACT, click on "util" Select "CD Extraction, and don't select "extract tracks to one file" unless you want the tracks you are ripping to be a continuous track. ![]() Yes! You can rip to FLAC without Windows! I'm going to show you how to rip an audio CD to FLAC on your Mac using two freely available programs:įirst off, you are going to want to insert your CD you want to rip, and open up xACT. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. So here's my question: is there any software available for the Mac that does what EAC does? Basically, I'd be wanting something that will rip CDs accurately, encode the WAV files to FLAC format, and apply Replay Gain tags (both Track and Album). ![]() ![]() Right now, I'm trying to decide if I should buy another PC, or go with a Mac instead. I've installed Exact Audio Copy on my current PC (along with AutoFLAC) and - after getting over the inital learnig curve - have become fairly comfortable with the software, and happy with the results I'm getting, Unfortunately, my hard drive is pretty much full, so I've only been able to rip a couple of dozen CDs. I intend to rip everything to FLAC format. My first task will be to replace my current PC, which is now six years old, and has a hard drive which is way too small for the task at hand. I recently acquired a Squeezebox, so I'm about to jump into the wonderful world of wireless digital audio, and begin ripping my collection of 1,500+ CDs to my hard drive.
