Ok, I just tested a couple of WAV files (with text added to the end) and the MP3s produced from those WAV files. The WAV files have NO clicks at the end, whereas the MP3 files have a click at the very end. Strange but true. So, I disabled the adding of the text to the WAV file in Audiograbber, and ripped a couple more CD's. My settings for the External LAME 3.91 MP3 encoding process is "--r3mix -q0". WAV files are set to be deleted, and all WAV files are ripped first, then encoded after all WAV ripping is finished.

One thing I've noticed is that Audiograbber seems to be having problems writing correct VBR header info, since almost all of my MP3's encoded through it have times at least double what they should be. Easily fixed using a number of MP3 progs, but strange nevertheless. Also, the V1 and V2 ID3 tags are slightly different. I set up Exact Audio Copy with the same Lame external encoding settings, and I've found that the VBR headers are exactly correct and no fixes have to be made as well as the ID3 V1 and V2 tags are identical as well. I only wish EAC would automatically create the Artist and Album directory automatically. That's about the only thing Audiograbber does better. But it's probably less hassle to create the dir's manually than to have fix (if automatically) all the MP3 VBR headers.
