Re: Retry eac

Lin’s comments are spot-on.

Many of us are dealing with higher than normal email volumes during this pandemic, so I would ask you to more clearly state what you need help with.  Follow some format like this, modified to fit your needs:

Problem:  {State the problem clearly.  Is the M3U file taking too much space, causing your media player to act improperly, or something else?}

Versions:	{EAC version, Windows version, codec versions, etc.}

Relevant EAC settings:  {show the settings for extraction and compression}

Log file: {Please don’t send log files as attachments.  Just paste the log file contents into the body of your message so that your message is self-contained and doesn’t require that users log in on the Yahoo website.}

Thanks in advance for helping us help you.

Regards,
  Fred Maxwell
