Exact Audio Copy 0.99 Pre-Beta 3

Exact Audio Copy - a new FREE audio grabber for CD-ROM drives EAC is a new audio grabber for CD-ROM drives. The main differences towards most other audio grabbers : Low registration costs (just a postcard and a stamp), it works with a new technology, reading audio CDs almost perfectly.

If there are any errors that can't be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player.

Here are some key features of "Exact Audio Copy":

Usage of the Windows 95 and Windows NT ASPI Interface, so both SCSI and ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported

Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)

Secure, fast and burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction should run at the same speed as other grabbers, but is probably not exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any synchronization.

Read error and complete loss of sync detection and correction in secure modes, as far as possible

Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and listen to these positions

Copy of ranges of music data, not only tracks

Automatic Speed reduction on errors and fallback afterwards

Normalization of extracted audio

Usage of the Windows Audio Compression Manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression e.g. to MP3 waves

Support for the BladeEnc DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for online MP3 compression

Support of external MP3, VQF, RA and AAC encoders for automatic compression after extraction

Batch compression and decompression of/to WAV files

Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression

Detection of pre-track gaps

Detection of silence in pre-track gaps

Automatic creation of CUE sheets for CDRWin, including all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC

Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and/or does caching

Sample Offsets for drives with no accurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence

Tips
==========

Profiles from previous versions can not be used by this version of EAC. If you would like to import these, you need a side by side installation of the new EAC version and the older one. Load the settings in the older one and exit the program. Then start the new EAC and save that profile.

When installing EAC in a different directory than your old EAC, all your CD information will be gone. To add the old information use the "Database / Import Database..." command and select the file in your old EAC directory.

It is possible that under Vista the WMA compression will not work, this is due to restrictions in the scripting host. There are several workarounds, e.g. starting EAC with admin rights.
