I'm ripping some old audio CDs that I burned long ago, and have several bizarre hybrid CDs.
The CD is, let's say, called CD1 by Artist 1 but shows up as CD2 by Artist 2 in Exact Audio Copy, according to the CD's own indexing and EAC's online search. In other words the CD plays the CD1 music okay, but the tracks are broken into the same lengths and silent gaps as CD2.
I must have somehow set up to burn the CD by keeping the track scheme for the previous CD I burned.
So - any ideas how I can rip such a CD to flac files that are the correct length, instead of following the lengths that the CD says they are?
I'm a beginner with EAC, but I noticed that dBPoweramp CD Ripper (which I don't have) has an option called Rip As One, which I think could be used to rip the whole CD as one track and impose track divisions of your own choice and timings? Can EAC do the same thing?
Probably the most awkward thing is coping with the silent gaps between the tracks, which of course are actually in the middle of the actual songs. Is there a way to get the software to accurately remove those, or will I have to put them all into an audio editor and do it by hand? That would probably be too laborious.
