In that case, I don't know why FreeDB would have stopped working, react doesn't modify anything to do with FreeDB apart from enabling the setting that fetches stuff from FreeDB manually... Try starting eac without react and see if freedb works again. If not, try reinstalling EAC. not the most graceful solution, but I can't think of anything else. From the sound of it the occurence of the freedb problem is just a coincidence, not something related to the installation of REACT. I'll read the EAC forum and hopefully work out how to get it connecting to freedb again. Still, it's funny how Foobar's tagging still seems to work when it's a freedb problem, maybe Foobar updates automatically.For flac images... This should work by default. If the encoder window isn't opening (I assume it's just finishing so quickly that you don't catch it), the commands are probably getting passed incorrectly to ACDIR somehow, and it's erroring out. Set "Debug=1" in your ini file, this will keep the encoder window open in case of an error, and will leave the .bat files behind after processing is done so you can go in and see what went wrong. The encoding window should stay open for you to look at; if you see an error in there, can you let me know what it is? I think this is the relevant section of the encoder output:D:\Rips>C:\PROGRA~1\REACT2\tools\flac.exe -5 -f --replay-gain -T "artist=Rema R ema" -T album="Wheel in the Roses" -T totaltracks="4" -T date="1980" -T genre="" -T comment="Created with EAC/REACT2, 2007-12-06" -T encoding="Flac 1.1.3 -5 -f" --tag-from-file="cuesheet=D:\Rips\Rema Rema - [1980] Wheel in the Roses.cue" -- tag-from-file="eaclog=D:\Rips\Wheel in the Roses.log" "D:\Rips\Rtmp660-!.wav" -o "D:\Rips\Rema Rema - [1980] Wheel in the Roses.flac" ERROR: (--tag-from-file) can't open file for tag value Type "flac" for a usage summary or "flac --help" for all options D:\Rips>MOVE /Y "D:\Rips\Rema Rema - [1980] Wheel in the Roses.flac" "C:\Users\Dave\Music\EAC\images\Rema Rema" The system cannot find the file specified. D:\Rips>MOVE /Y "D:\Rips\Rema Rema - [1980] Wheel in the Roses.cue" "C:\Users\Dave\Music\EAC\images\Rema Rema" 1 file(s) moved. The problem seems to be that it can't add tags from the cue sheet, but I can't work out why. As you can see, the cue sheet is being created in the correct location, and with the correct file name. It's the one file that's moved into the directory created for the files by REACT. Any idea what's going wrong?
