FLAC conversion

Need advice.

 

When ripping from CD to convert to FLAC, should I choose to rip per song or whole album as a single FLAC file?

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

 

Thanks.

You save time if you convert to FLAC per album?

 

I don't think there is any big difference ripping it via song or via album..

There is absolutely no difference in either option.

Are you using EAC to rip the audio CD?

I believe that FLAC isnt much point if you aren't ripping the CD in its entirety.

How to store album artwork into FLAC file?

if you rip the whole album as one big flac file there should be no advantage other then having 1 file instead of 10+

i believe the advantage of ripping the whole album in 1 flac file is for archiving purposes. together with the cue file, it'll retain the structure of the cd so you can burn copies of the cd.
