I'm new to this, but at the same time, I wanna do it right. Can anyone please help with the settings of EAC? I'm still learning the intricacies of ripping but until I fully understand everything, I think I should tweek the settings so that I don't have to redo all my files later.

Thanks

Oh, btw, can anyone point me in the direction of the best software that will encode .WMA to MP3? If EAC can do it please inform my how.

dMC (dBpowerAMP Music Converter) is one of the fastest WMA to MP3 converters. It's free too :).

As with all transcoding there will be quality loss once the files are converted from WMA to MP3. This is unavoidable.

Incidently, EAC also does WAV to MPC (MusePaCk) conversion, with the MPC Enc installed. MPC is the closest to 100% transparency in a lossy audio format.

For lossless, EAC can do WAV to APE (Monkey's Audio) conversion.

If you want to guarantee the best MP3 conversion quality from a WAV/ripped audio CD file source, using EAC + Lame 3.90.3, try converting using the --alt-preset insane switch.
