    Question Mark

    Does Pedro's require EAC for its rips, or is dBpoweramp allowed at all?

    dBpoweramp is not allowed. Only EAC, XLD, DVD Decrypter, and DVD Fab.

    OK, thanks. It's a shame about dBpoweramp. It can produce logs and does take into effect pregaps and offsets, but I guess that is not enough for some folks.

    Since Windows already has perfectly working and free tool for ages, why would you need that?

    dBpoweramp let you do advanced meta-tagging when ripping, plus, it is much faster than EAC at the same tasks.

    It's faster because it's not as careful as EAC and they only want the basic tags and ReplayGain is not even allowed.

    I think you misunderstand this fantastic site: It's all about quality, no loss in quality in the process of the ripping and encoding. Nothing but the best copy chains (source, process and tools) reasonable available is acceptably.
    Uploaders are expected to take maximum care over their offerings following the sites standards and this takes time, ripping speed is low priority.

    Actually dBpoweramp is a better ripper than EAC. It's faster, correctly implements C2 error correction, gives you much greater control over the Test&Copy process, etc.

    The only problem is it doesn't correctly account for gaps in the cuesheets it creates as far as I know.

    If that's the case then it is not capable of providing a digital copy that can be burned to a make an EXACT copy of the source CD. What's the point of making non-lossless or lossy copies and sharing them in a lossless format? The loss of information may be very small, but it is a loss.

    Many drives don't do C2 properly and most drives don't inform the Hardware Abstraction Layer that read errors have occur if their circuitry thinks it can recover using CRCs. Its the CD format that is the real problem, data CD would be much more reliable than Red Book audio CD.

    You don't know what you are talking about.
    Those are mp3 encoders, EAC and dbpoweramp are cd ripping software.
