Re: A feature I'd love to have in EAC

It seems to me that your intermediate state is mp3 files (with tags) and 
wav files (without tags). Then you convert the wavs to flac and have to 
tage the flac files.

Would it make more sense to rip to flac (with tags), delete or never 
save the wavs, and later convert the tagged flac files to tagged mp3 
files? That shouldn't take much more time than doing two conversions 
while ripping, and you'd keep the same tags in both compressed formats.

There is an important asymmetry between hope, which leads to actions 
that will test its basis, and fear, which leads to restriction of 
options frequently preventing any attempt at testing. As we know only 
too well, many of our hopes do not survive their tests. However, fears 
accumulate untested. Our inventory of untested fears has always made 
humanity disastrously vulnerable to thought control.
