Dear music-lover,
Exact Audio Copy is a widely known, so called audio grabber for audio CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives.
I don't take myself for an EAC expert, far from it, but there's one thing I know, what a terrible shame it is to rip a CD in "burst" instead of "secure" mode, which happens all too often nevertheless. That's why I included the subjoined article. Consider it a helping hand for those who may need it.

How to configure EAC for a perfect (100%) rip.
(written by ?topbudget? - www.hq.net)
Since we all prefer lossless formats here, rips from CD should be not just without audible artifacts but 100% identical to the original. Otherwise, there's
no sense in lossless at all. That's why I've decided to write a short 'How-To' on proper configuring of
Exact Audio Copy (EAC).
Here are settings that need to be properly configured:
EAC-> EAC options-> Extraction
[v] Fill up missing offset samples with silence
[ ] No use of null samples for CRC calculations
[v] Synchronize between tracks
[ ] Delete leading and trailing silent blocks
[v] Lock drive tray during extraction
Extraction and compression priority: [High]
Error recovery quality: [High]
EAC-> EAC Options-> Tools
[v] Retrieve UPC/ISRC codes in CUE sheet generation (only if CD-drive supports
gap Detection method A.
Enabling this option is the only way to make an exact copy.)
[v] Use CD-Text information in CUE sheet generation
[v] Automatically write status report after extraction
[ ] Activate beginner mode, disable all advanced features
EAC-> EAC Options-> Normalize
[ ] Normalize
Never ever use this option. Keep it disabled by all means!
EAC-> EAC Options-> Interface
[*] Installed external ASPI interface
- before setting up this option you should download
Nero ASPI Driver
and put it in EAC's folder
EAC-> Drive Options-> Extraction Method (!!!)
- insert in your CD drive any (unscratched) audio disc and press Detect Read Features button. If Accurate Stream was NO, then do not use this drive for audio extraction!
If Accurate Stream was detected (Yes), then set the following options this way (no matter what results were shown in Analyzing window):
[*] Secure mode with following drive features:
[v] Drive has 'Accurate Stream' feature
[v] Drive caches audio data
[ ] Drive is capable of Retrieving C2 error information
Attention: due to many confusions make sure you've adjusted your settings as it shown on the picture:
EAC-> Drive Options-> Drive
Drive read command - insert any audio CD in your drive and press Autodetect read command now button
EAC-> Drive Options-> Offset / Speed
For most exact copy of audio CD it's recommended to use read sample offset correction. To understand the importance of offset correction please read
"The Truth About Offsets" article. Proper offset correction for majority of modern drives could be found
here: http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm
If your drive is not in the list, you may try to determine proper offset correction yourself. Read SatCP's comprehensive gude on how to determine offsets.
(note: for most common drives EAC itself can detect offset corrections.)
[*] Use read sample offset correction
Enter determined value, otherwise leave default settings (zero).
[v] Overread into Lead-In and Lead-Out [Optional]
Use this only if your drive support this feature and if you've set custom (not default) value for read sample offset correction
[v] Allow speed reduction during extraction
EAC-> Drive Options-> Gap Detection
Gap/Index retrival method: [Detection method A]
Detection accuracy: [Secure]
- press OK to save settings and try to detect gaps of inserted audio CD: Action-> Detect Gaps (F4). If EAC seems to take forever to detect the gaps or the
detection process locks up after a few tracks, the detection method you've choosen is not optimal for your drive. Try choosing Detection method B or C.
Note that 'Detection method A' will result in most accurate rip
That's it, all set up and ready to go.
