I have some CD's that are mixed which have poorly placed indicators of where one song starts and another begins... sometimes you'll even get a song that ends right in the middle of a vocal when you rip it... any way to adjust the time/location of the start and stop point when ripping?

EAC yes...MC no

The function in EAC is Copy Range...which will let you select start and end points, but then tagging becomes manual, and you'll have to do it for each track singularly. I would just use EAC to rip the entire CD as one track in a wav format (using Copy Range again), then use MC's Media Editor to start cutting tracks out of the file.

10-27

edit: There's other ways, too...such as having EAC rip an image of the disk AND generate a cue sheet. Then you can use EAC's cue sheet editor to move the indexes around. From there you can have EAC split the wav apart by cue sheet. Note: have never tried it.

Matt said MC should have cue sheet support one of these days.  If you can live with teh long file for a while.

Hmmmm....  I hope MC comes out with a one step solution.  This would be huge, absolutely huge.  I work 800-100 ours a week... I just don't have the time for lots of manipulation, which is the appeal of MC in the first place...  hmmmm....
