These oddly named files are temporary working files and are normally not visible to the end user unless an error of some sort cause EAC to break out of the rip As these EAC generated temporary files are created before any call to either the internal flac encoder or an external flac compressor/encoder executable it cannot be that the encoder executable is generating these tmp files due to an error encountered by the flac encoder/compressor as I detailed above. When EAC generates temporary files it may leaves them visible on your hard disk if it encounters a fatal error during a rip and terminates the operation without moving the temporary file to the expected wav or cuefile output name. I conjecture that this indicates they are simply placeholders until EAC copies the rip data from its randomised name temporary files into these placeholders when the rip is complete. If you call up file properties on these wav or cue files during the rip they are shown as having a file size of zero. This conflicts with what I have previously posted about EACs use of randomised temporary filenames during a rip. E:\CDRIPS for me), there are clearly files created on your hard disk with. 4. While you are performing an EAC rip to your target folder (e.g. 0tmp(-749.flac, can be deleted without adverse consequence. For example the TITLE or FILE lines may contain an accidental error such as this: FILE "Arthur Alexander - The Greatest (1989) (RM 2006).flac" WAV or FILE "Arthur Alexander - The Greatest (1989) (RM 2006).flac" FLAC instead of the correct FILE "Arthur Alexander - The Greatest (1989) (RM 2006).flac" WAVE The temporary file e.g. c) If the command line nominates a cuesheet file to either embed or use as a tag source, an error in the cuesheet's internal syntax introduced by end user edits can cause the flac or metaflac encoder to exit with an error and leave the radomised tmp file behind on your hard disk. Errors such as (a) can throw off the encoder so it misidentifies the name of the output file. Maybe the folder tree is too deep and/or the filename specified is too long. b) An error in the name or path of the specified output file. Can often be a misplaced double quote or % character. a) An error in the syntax for arguments on the command line that calls the encoder. I have indentified several causes for such errors. When flac.exe or metaflac.exe encounter an error they can leave a temporary file on your hard disk with a randomised name including tmp in the name like this: 0tmp(-749.flac due to the encoder terminating without completing. I have edited out a really dumb statement. You may not wish to embed multiple graphics or to embed the cuesheet in your flac file either - In which case you might as well stick to using the internal flac compression offered within EAC itself - no need to complicate things unnecessarily. You are not compelled to use any EAC metadata fields at all except the OBF CDtitle and CDartist fields which are needed to name the EAC rip files.
