Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • XLD on Mac, EAC on windows. They pretty much do it all for you and check/handle the errors.
  • EAC you can use to rip and identify the tracks (there are caveats to it).
  • Exact audio copy is the gold standard.
  • EAC is my goto. Collection isn't huge, 500+ CDs all ripped to FLAC seamlessly with metadata
  • Its probably the best free rip svc. Use it. ... Literally just a few clicks, takes seconds. Easy.

Cons

  • I also tried EAC but found that DBPA is more user friendly and easier to RIP CDs in quantity.

I use EAC and payed the one time fee for the database access. It's as easy as it gets

I did about 1000 CDs with EAC over the last year and found it to be a reliable, quick experience.
