Yes,
I use react with accuraterip.  It works fine.  You set up accurate rip for eac.  Then you have to rip tracks not an image.  For this I changed trackshotval to F6 and rip test and copy in burst mode.  If accuraterip has the info from the cd great, if not I check the eac log for the same crc in test and copy.  I consider it a good rip if accuraterip says it is good or if the crc's of test and copy match.  The great thing about EAC and react is that I can rip with 2 different drives at the same time.

Edit: Are you saying that AccurateRip won't work unless EAC rips tracks to individual WAV files? If ...

So what's the "best way" to get the best of all worlds? I've configured REACT 2 to rip to WavPack image files and to LAME MP3 track files, but I also want to get feedback from AccurateRip.

You can rip in track mode and create cue sheets with your flac files.  This is not a problem.  Accuraterip will only work if you are ripping in track mode.

I see no reason to change anything else (not that I've scrutinised your INI). If it worked before it should work now.

I guess I should tell you that you really should move to v2. However, as you know, I have not yet made the switch myself. That said, I am not getting much time to provide support on this forum at the moment anyway; you may do best to ask for help in the v2 thread switching this config to a v2 config. I really don't think it would be much effort.

my recommendation would be to amend the config to point to your 1.1.4 exe.

@tools@\flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %RG_Flac% %Cover_tag% -T "%ArtistField%=@cdartist@" -T album="@album@" -T totaltracks="@numtracks@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoded-by="%USERNAME%" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" --tag-from-file="cuesheet=@cuesheet@" --tag-from-file="eaclog=@eaclog@" "@source@" -o "@image@"

flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %RG_Flac% %Cover_tag% -T "%ArtistField%=@cdartist@" -T album="@album@" -T totaltracks="@numtracks@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoded-by="%USERNAME%" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" --tag-from-file="cuesheet=@cuesheet@" --tag-from-file="eaclog=@eaclog@" "@source@" -o "@image@"

open Eac/react
Hit alt f2 and set CreateAllCuesheets=1

Go to your react folder and open REACT-track.cfg.

make sure this line is in your config under flac section

IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" COPY /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue"

I have the config below for flac tracks

IF NOT @Flac@==1 GOTO end_flac_tracks
   IF NOT EXIST %TrackDir_Flac% MKDIR %TrackDir_Flac%
   PUSHD %TrackDir_Flac%
      IF @various@==1 SET VA_tag=-T "album artist=@VA@"
      IF %embed_cover%==1 SET Cover_tag=--picture="|image/jpeg|||@cover@"
      ECHO ON
      @tools@\flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %Cover_tag% %VA_tag% -T artist="@artist@" -T album="@album@" -T tracknumber="@track@/@numtracks@" -T title="@title@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoded-by="%USERNAME%" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" "@source@" -o "%TrackName%.flac"
      @ECHO OFF
      IF %have_cover%==1 IF NOT EXIST folder.jpg COPY "@cover@" folder.jpg
      IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" COPY /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue"
      COPY /Y "@eaclog@" "EAClog.txt"
   POPD
:end_flac_tracks

The other thing I find helpful is to rip in burst mode with test and copy.  This way if accuraterip doesn't not have the album, you can check the eac crc log.  If a track has the same crc for test and copy it is more likely correct (or consistently wrong).  To rip in burst mode you can edit the react ini file to TracksHotVal=+{F6}.  Then when you hit f4, it will rip in test and copy mode.  Hope this helps.

The newest preview release, AlbumArt XUI, is again compatible with REACT2

However, I noticed that cue sheet files are not processed i.e. they point to wav files instead of flac files.

IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" MOVE /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" "@basename@.cue"

@tools@\cuemod.exe --cue "@basename@.cue" --f "%TrackName%.flac"

IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" COPY /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue"

Download Tangerine's cuemod.exe and place it into 'C:\Program Files\REACT2\tools'.

Open 'REACT-tracks.cfg' and add this line to the FLAC tracks section :

Code: [Select]

IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" MOVE /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" "@basename@.cue"

Under that line, then add this line :

Code: [Select]

@tools@\cuemod.exe --cue "@basename@.cue" --f "%TrackName%.flac"

If you have added this line previously, then delete it(not in the .cfg originally) :

Code: [Select]

IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" COPY /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue"

Edit: Sorry, disregard this post. I was thinking about image ripping and image cuesheets, but this would not work for track cuesheets(atleast not in the present way and i don't think that you can use: "--f *.flac" with cuemod.exe). Again, sorry about this.

I was wondering if anyone knows if REACT can be run on an existing WAV/CUE image ripped by EAC? I have REACT running great for rips - configured to rip to FLAC, embed cue and art, then split and compress LAME files for everyday listening.  The thing is, I got this running AFTER having simply ripped a lot of discs to WAV image + CUE sheet with EAC, so I was wondering if I could run through all those WAV images with the same settings (FLAC archive image + LAME files), instead of re-ripping all of them.

A few REACT2 questions for a new user

1. When using REACT, does it matter what settings are applied in EAC itself. Prior to using REACT I had profiles for MP3, FLAC, AAC etc. My question is whether it matters as to which one of these is actually loaded when I use REACT. Presumably the ini and cfg files will overwrite all the EAC compression settings.

2. Can the coverartdownloader be set so that you can browse the hard disk for the images. I have most of them already and want to use them as they are better quality than those on the search sites

3. I am a little lost about how to set up the cover art bits? I want to embed the image into my flac image, all my flac tracks, all my mp3 tracks AND copy it as folder.jpg to the folders where the individual flac and mp3 tracks are. How do I do this?

4. Can the format of @curdate@ be changed to UK date format?

5. I can't seem to get tracknumbers with a padded space (ie 01, 02, 03 etc) on MP3's using LAME. FLAC works fine. I am using the image cfg to generate tracks as well

6. What does this hotkey actually do - TracksHotVal=+{F5}
