doesn't really matter at this point as long as I can convert to FLAC plus CUE at a later point without re-ripping. If I rip the CD to an ISO can dbPA "rip" and encode tracks from a virtual drive? (I don't really want to do that because dbPA has such good error correction capabilities.) Will RIP AS ONE be sufficient for this purpose? Re: Rip copies that can be burned as original I don't think you can rip an audio CD as an ISO, but Daemon Tools can mount a .wav/.cue combination which dbPowerAmp can rip. (The offset is 0 in my experience, although my "key disks" weren't recognised). You can use Exact Audio Copy to create the .wav/.cue combination. However, the solution I have to the problem you mentioned is to rip as tracks to a lossless format (FLAC will be fine, I use WMA Lossless) with pregaps appended to the next track (I'm pretty sure this is the dbPowerAmp default. Then I use Exact Audio Copy to create a .cue using the Action &gt; Create CUE Sheet &gt; Single WAV file ... option. (It doesn't matter if the any track information that it downloads is not correct.) In the future, if I want to recreate a CD I will have to convert the WMA lossless files to .wav, then join them together, and then almost any CD Writer app will be able to create a "clone" CD using the .cue file.
