Re: paranoia vs EAC

Presumably ExactAudioCopy produces an exact audio copy of the
digital data on the CD just like cdparanoia does,  but is it
as _paranoid_ about making sure that data is accurate down to
the last bit?

I get the impression that you are using Windoze so I have to
ask which encoder you are planning on using.  That might very-
well be more important.
