Re-ripping my CD's in FLAC with Easy CD-DA Extractor

I guess the title says it all: after discovering that Easy CD-DA Extractor embeds album art (or CD-cover pictures) into FLAC music files, I am now using it to rip my CD-collection in lossless FLAC format.

Actually, I stumbled across this fact somewhat accidentally today when I used CD-DA Extractor to rip a new CD and then updated the music index on my Sonos player (a techie way of saying that I added the CD to my Sonos). The CD-cover showed up on the Sonos screen as if I'd used iTunes to rip, despite the fact that there was no "folder.jpg" file alongside the FLAC files--based on lengthy discussions in the Sonos forums, I believed the "folder.jpg" approach to be the sole way to show album art for FLAC music files. Somewhat surprised by this discovery, I started digging in the FLAC format documentation and found that the format can hold quite a few pictures as metadata in each music file.

So, to repeat myself once more: I am now ripping my CD-collection all over, but this time in lossless, open FLAC format. Geeky, you say...? ;-)
