How many times have you downloaded █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ that album you really wanted only to find out it pops and skips █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ throughout the entire rip. The ripper never bothered to listen to █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ his release or use good software. Well, we decided not to bitch █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ and do something about it. Any Audio Release you see from us █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ will be ripped with Exact Audio Copy (EAC) and encoded with █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ the LAME mp3 plugin for maximum compression quality █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ (it doesn't get any better than this, we've tested them all). █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ Unlike most other audio extracters EAC uses a "Secure" reading █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ method. This means that all audio sectors are read at least twice █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ (other ripping programs read it only one time). █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ When a read error occurs EAC will reread the audio data up to 82x █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ to get the correct data. EAC takes significantly longer to rip a █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ cd because of this precision, and that is the price we are █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ willing to pay to bring you the highest quality music. For people █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ wanting the best rips possible this is not a problem, but for █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ those others ripping and shipping so they can "win the race": █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ this program is not for you. The best thing about EAC is that █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ it's free and part of the open MP3 movement. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ We don't want to hide the technology we use, if anything we are █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ going to encourage you to use it. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ LEARN MORE ABOUT EAC HERE █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ http://www.ping.be/satcp/tutorials.htm █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ LEARN MORE ABOUT LAME HERE █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █▓░ WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ░▓█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ ███████████████████████████████ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ -Start by learning to use EAC and LAME. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ -Support your local music and club scene, after all when they █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ become famous you can tell your kids that you saw them in some █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ shitty club when they were nobodies. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ -Don't be afraid to question the way things are, █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ push the envelope. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ ▄ ▄ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█ ▀▀ ▀▀ █▓▒░ ░▒▓█ ▀ ▀ █▓▒░ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀ ▄▄ ▄▄ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ░▒▓ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▓▒░ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ░▒▓ NFO BY: Bastard .............................Updated On: 11.04.2001 ▓▒░ ░▒▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▓▒░ █ █ █ █
