<div>[http://www.exactaudiocopy.org Exact Audio Copy] (EAC for short) is a free software that can be used to extract tracks from an Audio CD to your computer's hard disk. What makes EAC special compared to other rippers is the fact that it is capable of reading audio CDs almost perfectly.<br />
EAC uses various methods for extracting audio data. EAC can also invoke externally installed encoders, thereby making it possible to simultaneously rip and encode audio data to the format of your choice.<br />
<br />
=Features of Exact Audio Copy=<br />
* Usage of the Windows 95 and Windows NT ASPI Interface, so both SCSI and ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported<br />
* Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)<br />
* 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.<br />
* Read error and complete loss of sync detection and correction in secure modes, as far as possible<br />
* Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and listen to these positions<br />
* Copy of ranges of music data, not only tracks<br />
* Automatic Speed reduction on errors and fallback afterwards<br />
* Normalization of extracted audio<br />
* Usage of the Windows Audio Compression Manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression e.g. to MP3 waves<br />
* Support for the BladeEnc DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for online MP3 compression<br />
* Support of external MP3, VQF, RA and AAC encoders for automatic compression after extraction<br />
* Batch compression and decompression of/to WAV files<br />
* Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression<br />
* Detection of pre-track gaps<br />
* Detection of silence in pre-track gaps<br />
* Automatic creation of CUE sheets for CDRWin, including all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC<br />
* CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges<br />
* Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and/or does caching<br />
* Sample Offsets for drives with no accurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence<br />
* Option for synchronizing tracks for non-accurate stream drives<br />
* Filename editing with local and remote CDDB database and cdplayer.ini support and more features like ID3 tagging<br />
* Browse and edit local database<br />
* Local CDDB support<br />
* Record and Loop Record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.<br />
* Automatic rename of MP3 files according to their ID3 tag<br />
* Catalog extraction function<br />
* Multisession (CD-Extra) support<br />
* CD-Text support<br />
* CD-Write support for some drives<br />
* ID3 Tag editor with drag and drop possibility from track listing and database<br />
* Glitch removal after extraction<br />
* Small WAV editor with the following functionality: delete, trim, normalize, pad, glitch removal, pop detection, interpolation of ranges, noise reduction, fade in/out, undo (and more)<br />
* Program is Cardware, so feel free to copy<br />

You can begin configuring EAC by starting with the Drive Configuration followed by the Gap Settings and finally, the Encoder Options. Remember to use only an original, factory-pressed Audio CD for configuring EAC. Please do not use, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, bootlegs or any such discs. Also use a non copy-protected disc which carries the familiar "Compact Disc-Digital Audio" logo.<br />

<hr />
<div>[http://www.exactaudiocopy.org Exact Audio Copy] (EAC for short) is a free software that can be used to extract tracks from an Audio CD to your computer's hard disk. What makes EAC special compared to other rippers is the fact that it is capable of reading audio CDs almost perfectly.<br />
EAC uses various methods for extracting audio data. EAC can also invoke externally installed encoders, thereby making it possible to simultaneously rip and encode audio data to the format of your choice.<br />
<br />
=Features of Exact Audio Copy=<br />
* Usage of the Windows 95 and Windows NT ASPI Interface, so both SCSI and ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported<br />
* Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)<br />
* 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.<br />
* Read error and complete loss of sync detection and correction in secure modes, as far as possible<br />
* Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and listen to these positions<br />
* Copy of ranges of music data, not only tracks<br />
* Automatic Speed reduction on errors and fallback afterwards<br />
* Normalization of extracted audio<br />
* Usage of the Windows Audio Compression Manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression e.g. to MP3 waves<br />
* Support for the BladeEnc DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for online MP3 compression<br />
* Support of external MP3, VQF, RA and AAC encoders for automatic compression after extraction<br />
* Batch compression and decompression of/to WAV files<br />
* Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression<br />
* Detection of pre-track gaps<br />
* Detection of silence in pre-track gaps<br />
* Automatic creation of CUE sheets for CDRWin, including all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC<br />
* CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges<br />
* Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and/or does caching<br />
* Sample Offsets for drives with no accurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence<br />
* Option for synchronizing tracks for non-accurate stream drives<br />
* Filename editing with local and remote CDDB database and cdplayer.ini support and more features like ID3 tagging<br />
* Browse and edit local database<br />
* Local CDDB support<br />
* Record and Loop Record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.<br />
* Automatic rename of MP3 files according to their ID3 tag<br />
* Catalog extraction function<br />
* Multisession (CD-Extra) support<br />
* CD-Text support<br />
* CD-Write support for some drives<br />
* ID3 Tag editor with drag and drop possibility from track listing and database<br />
* Glitch removal after extraction<br />
* Small WAV editor with the following functionality: delete, trim, normalize, pad, glitch removal, pop detection, interpolation of ranges, noise reduction, fade in/out, undo (and more)<br />
* Program is Cardware, so feel free to copy<br />

=Exact Audio Copy Guides=<br />
You can begin configuring EAC by starting with the Drive Configuration followed by the Gap Settings and finally, the Encoder Options. Remember to use only an original, factory-pressed Audio CD for configuring EAC. Please do not use, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, bootlegs or any such discs. Also use a non copy-protected disc which carries the familiar "Compact Disc-Digital Audio" logo.<br />

<hr />
<div>=Introduction=<br />
<br />
I wanted to test EAC’s secure mode, old secure mode (Paranoid), CDex’s Paranoia implementation at recovering errors to do this with accurate results I first needed to find a drive which 1. Does not jitter & 2. Does not cache (or buffer) audio data because these things make accurate error recovery more complicated & currently CDex does not support drives which cache audio & jitter. My Pioneer 106s was my most suited drive so chose it for the test. Second I needed to find a CD with a track that had unrecoverable errors I chose a pressed CD with light & heavy scratches that I had lying around.. I would later need to clean the CD to create a reference copy of the track.<br />
<br />
==Conditions==<br />
<br />
Drive used was a Pioneer 106s DVD-ROM with PIO transfer mode set to disable the drives audio caching<br />
<br />
<br />
The software & setting I used were,<br />
<br />
[[EAC]] V0.95pb5<br />
* Secure Mode<br />
* No disable Cache (no correction used)<br />
* Yes Accurate Stream (no correction used)<br />
* No C2<br />
<br />
[[EAC]] V0.95pb5<br />
* Paranoid mode<br />
* No disable cache<br />
<br />
[[CDex]] V1.51<br />
* Paranoia, Full<br />
<br />
<br />
Track was ripped with each program, I then cleaned the CD & extracted the track with my Lite-on 811s using EAC secure mode & test & copy (achieved a CRC match) which I used as a reference file. I then bit compared each track from each extraction program against the reference file using foobar.<br />

==Conclusion==<br />
<br />
'''EAC’s secure mode''' had the least amount of errors making it best at recovering errors but difference wasn't large between EAC's secure mode & CDex Paranoia, Full. I believe the differences in scores are due to the amount of read-retries the program commands the drive to take. <br />
<br />
'''CDex's Paranoia, Full''' did very well & the test has shown that when using a supported drive (a drive that doesn't cache audio or jitter) CDex does in fact report not corrected errors & is a good compromise between speed/quality for recovering errors.<br />
<br />
'''EAC's old secure mode (Paranoid)''' was the fastest & may be helpful for highly damaged CD's because of it's speed but should be avoided if you want accuracy.<br />

Does not jitter & 2. Does not cache (or buffer) audio data because these things make accurate error recovery more complicated & currently CDex does not support drives which cache audio & jitter. My Pioneer 106s was my most suited drive so chose it for the test. Second I needed to find a CD with a track that had unrecoverable errors I chose a pressed CD with light & heavy scratches that I had lying around.. I would later need to clean the CD to create a reference copy of the track.<br />
<br />
==Conditions==<br />
<br />
Drive used was a Pioneer 106s DVD-ROM with PIO transfer mode set to disable the drives audio caching<br />
<br />
<br />
The software & setting I used were,<br />
<br />
[[EAC]] V0.95pb5<br />
* Secure Mode<br />
* No disable Cache (no correction used)<br />
* Yes Accurate Stream (no correction used)<br />
* No C2<br />
<br />
[[EAC]] V0.95pb5<br />
* Paranoid mode<br />
* No disable cache<br />
<br />
[[CDex]] V1.51<br />
* Paranoia, Full<br />
<br />
<br />
Track was ripped with each program, I then cleaned the CD & extracted the track with my Lite-on 811s using EAC secure mode & test & copy (achieved a CRC match) which I used as a reference file. I then bit compared each track from each extraction program against the reference file using foobar.<br />

<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
<br />
'''EAC’s secure mode''' had the least amount of errors making it best at recovering errors but difference wasn't large between EAC's secure mode & CDex Paranoia, Full. I believe the differences in scores are due to the amount of read-retries the program commands the drive to take. <br />
<br />
'''CDex's Paranoia, Full''' did very well & the test has shown that when using a supported drive (a drive that doesn't cache audio or jitter) CDex does in fact report not corrected errors & is a good compromise between speed/quality for recovering errors.<br />
<br />
'''EAC's old secure mode (Paranoid)''' was the fastest & may be helpful for highly damaged CD's because of it's speed but should be avoided if you want accuracy.<br />
