Not if you configure EAC to pass the .wav file onto a file compressor. 
Indeed, EAC comes 
'loaded' with an mp3 codec for that (some version of LAME, IIRC), and a
handy graphic button 
labelled 'MP3' to rip a CD 'directly' to compressed format, but you can
point it to FLAC.exe 
or any other codec you've got.

Maybe it's for the money?  But That's none of our business..our business
as fans is to rock
