How big is your media library? I have 4620 tracks in mine. Wondering what other folks have. I don't know where to get this info, if you're using the Default UI. In Columns UI, it's at the bottom left on the status bar.

I sincerely apologize, for being lax as a moderator. I will do better. I've just started a forum, unrelated to audio, so hopefully checking in with that place, will remind me to check in here as well. Gotta put checking in here on my daily to-do list. Thank you all for sticking around. More content is coming. See this post

Hey folks, here are links to the documentation for Foobar2000 and EAC.

https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Foobar2000#Using_foobar2000

https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Exact_Audio_Copy

This should get you started. They're not as newbie friendly as I'd like. I'm working on my own newbie friendly how-to, for both Foobar2000, and EAC. It's been on the back burner. But it will get done.

Foobar2000 2.0 worth updating to? (programming.dev)
submitted 11 months ago by Deebster@programming.dev to c/eac_foobar2000@lemm.ee

I've been holding off upgrading since I'd heard bad things, but I can't actually remember what those bad things were.

Is it worth the upgrade? The only thing I don't like is that Foobar seems to only save tabs ("playlists") when it closes, which means if my machine crashes/hard resets then it reverts to an old set.

Welcome to EAC & foobar2000. I created this community, to have a place where we could discuss these apps. I might expanded this community to all audio players/CD rippers soon. We'll see if it takes off. If Lemmy supports sticky threads, I'd like to have a weekly "What are you listening to" thread. Discussion of different audio codecs is welcome!! But please keep debate civil.

I'd like to keep this community music/audio focused. Please read the rules before posting. And have fun!! Digital audio is a wonderful hobby!!

Piracy Discussions - Current Policy (lemm.ee)

I've decided to allow discussions on the ethics around piracy. How you obtain your music/media is your business. However, if debates/discussions get nasty and/or hostile I'll have to implement stricter rules. Feel free to discuss this in the comments.
