I have just finished ripping my 667 CDs into FLAC, and scanning the
artwork. It is very tedious. I used CDex and flac command line because
EAC gave me various problems, mostly with scratched CDs, where CDex in
full paranoia mode worked and I couldn't hear any glitches.

Sorry, but I've never seen that error. You're using flac.exe as the
command line encoder?

I used the same, but with --best rather than -8 so it doesn't have to
change when the flac crew come up with -9 :)

I don't think I have any protected CDs, but either should work. EAC
lets you correct for your CD device more, and is preferred by some
people. I'm happy with CDex.

I also used MAREO for a short time, but have switched to using the
diskwriter plugins for foobar2000 for batch transcoding.
