Reply to "RIPPING AND BURNING AUDIO CDRs / EAC - OVERVIEW"

from what i've read dbpoweramp can and does rip securely. You can create log files so i see no reason why it can't be used. It's supported, gets updated so maybe it's time to move on and use it, as long as it's used correctly.
Now the problem is it's not free unlike EAC so.....

What are the general thoughts?
