Okay I'll have to sit down and explore the Ez CD Converter itnerface thoroughly then.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac
For the ripping, use the external programs tab. If you want to use flac, you will need to download it separately and install and put the path to the binary in the external programs tab and specify all the options to the flac program that you want. After the rip is done, just don't check the hybernate checkbox and the pc will not hybernate. Hope this helps. On Sat, 12 Nov 2016 16:04:24 -0500, Chris Skarstad wrote: > > Hi.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac
Hi. Ok, i've tried out Exact Audio Copy, and i have a couple issues. First, i have been all over every possible option imaginable, and I can not, for the life of me figure out how to choose a format to rip the cd i've got. Second, there is an option in there as to what to do after the cd is complete, and I'm not sure i like any of the options. the 3 i've got are shutdown, restart or hybernate. I don't want the program to do any of these, i just want the pc to be left on, as is. So as nice as the program is, i'm not sure if this program fits my needs, at least not yet! if anyone knows how to fix these 2 things it'd help lots.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac
Well how then could Exact Audio Copy have worked find if the CD wasn't ripped successfully? . I did say that - sometimes - Exact Audio copy takes a little time to configure, not every computer and not every drive is the same. so you may need to do some testing, the documentation that comes with Exact Audio Copy details various tests and Tweaks you can make. At the end of the ripping process you can actually view the log telling you exactly what Exact Audio Copy has done, what errors it has found and whether Exact Audio Copy was able to fix those errors - whether it took an hour or a day - the Cd will rip, I've only had to abandon one CD in all the time I've used Exact Audio Copy, started using it 9 years ago I think it was though I've not been using it lately. I've used Exact Audio Copy to salvage contents of damaged audio CD'S that even a CD player has trouble playing, that's how good Exact Audio Copy is and full credit to the chap who went out of his way to write the software, he enjoys his music. The CD Archive I'm part of uses Exact Audio Copy to archive CD'S and I don't run the archive, members who maintain the archive told me just how good Exact Audio Copy was all those years ago.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac
If you're using original CD'S then there's a good chance they'll show up 99% of the time. That's the nice thing about Exact Audio Copy - if you're looking to copy audio discs - it copies them exactly and you'll see it, no more inexact matches when looking up in a database with an Exact copy of a CD for example. Exact Audio Copy also uses the Accuraterip function that makes the ripping process that little bit easier, other software uses this too including XLD for Mac and EEzy CD Converter for Windows.

the correct way to set up exact audio copy
Hi I would like for those of you that use exact audio copy to rip your CD's to share with the list. Please give step bye step instructions on how to get the program and how to set it up for the best sounding rips one can get from this program. Thank you and have a nice day. -- Casey -- Casey
Is it normal for Exact Audio Copy to give an error when there's no disc in the drive?
Hi. The subject says it all. I start Exact Audio Copy with nothing in the drive, and I get the following. Unhandled exception at 02B410DE - ACCESS_VIOLATION OK I prefer to start a program with nothing in the drive. If it turns out I need to have a CD in the drive that's fine. I just want to know if this is normal behavior or not. Thanks in advance. GO REDS!

Re: Exact audio copy
Flac is a lossless format which means you don't lose sound quality compressing to that format. It is a bit larger than mp3 however so if space is a consideration go with mp3. Otherwise flac is definitely the better choice.

Re: Exact audio copy
It will give you a perfect rip if you use flac and as long as your cd isn't damaged in any way. EAC definitely does the best job of ripping cds at bit-perfect, i.e. a true exact copy, of any ripper I've tried. Mp3 of course by definition isn't perfect because it compresses out some data in addition to whatever other flaws are found in the cd itself.

Hi this is Steve needing information about Exact Audio Copy available from: www.exactaudiocopy.de I have been using CDEX for ripping CDs to my computer. I was told that I would get better results from Exact Audio Copy. I just downloaded and installed the program and looked at the FAQs. There is definitely more of a learning curve than with CDEX.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Class
Exactly! this has been mentioned on-list before and if you look through the pc-audio archives you'll also see that I (and a couple of others) have discussed EAC at length, I went so far as to say (then as I do now) that Exact Audio Copy is the best CD ripping solution on the planet because of its accuracy, flaxibility and configurability. I've been using Exact Audio Copy for the past 5 years and I've discussed aspects of my time with EAC and how I (along with others) have evolved a CD library of Cue and Flac files, these pairs can be both produced and used with Exact Audio Copy to produce some astonishing feats and these keep getting more numurus as time goes on so I'll summaries what cue and Flac file pairing allows me to do with EAC at the present. Firstly, I have over 10,000 CD'S formatted in this way. I have up until this point kept them backed up on DVD discs with a simple text file to catalogue all of them but as of tomorrow? Well, all this content gets dumped on to a NAD (Networked Attached Drive), all my computers over the network will have access to them. Next, using EAC or other compatible software, I can use a pair of files and convert the pair to MP3 or whatever tracks. Suppose for example you had a pair of files called SuperTramp - Breakfast In America.cue and .flac as a pair, you could use Exact Audio Copy to have the MP3 tracks of the album produced. further to this, you could make an exact CD copy using the file pair for your CD player. Now of course, what I'm talking about here can't be done overnight, it takes a bit of setting up and a few little extra tools make the job a lot easier but if I and other people can do it and you want your music at your fingertips then I certainly recommend you having a look at this as other list members have done, actually got a note from one a few days ago about what a difference this approach had made to both he having accurate and error-free rips and music at his convenience.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Class
That's a fair question. Easy CD DA Extractor comes very close but for one thing, you cannot set the drive offsets so therefore you don't get exact rips.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Class
Well yes, it can be made to do some file conversions, you can for example convert from wave to MP3 and this feature is even further enhanced if you know the command line structure of the 32-bit console versions of say Flac or LAME, you can them set these command lines up in EAC and load them on a profile basis, one for Flac, one for different presets of LAME and so forth. I probably haven't explained myself properly here so please (if you need to) ask questions.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Class
I have heard nothing but good things to say about exact audio copy.

I'm not trying to start an argument, just to be educated.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Directory and File Question
Hi Dan, In my experience with EAC, I don't think you can get it to automatically put them in to a artist's directory. Also if you want to see the files in the order they are on the disc, I think if you open the directory first then go back to EAC and save them they will be in the directory in the order which EAC saves them. The next time you open that directory they may or may not be in that order unless you set the parameters of how you want them by going in to the directory and setting the details to how you want them to be displayed. Hope this makes sense. Bill On Fri, 21 Sep 2007 11:50:23 -0400, Dan Kerstetter wrote: How can I set up Exact Audio Copy to automatically put files into a directory named for the artist?

Re: Exact Audio Copy Directory and File Question
Ok, well you can have Exact Audio Copy put and sort your files into directories by using various variables such as %a for artist, %t for title, %c for CD title etc, I fthink a full list of all the available variables appear on the screen in the filenames tab. If you have any further questions then you may wish to email me privately as I use EAC all the time or nearly all the time, haven't used it for a while but now I have Windows running as a virtual machine on my Mac its time to use the best ripper in the world again smile. There is also a reasonably new version too which can e obtained from http://www.exactaudiocopy.de On 22/09/2007, at 2:23 AM, Bill Scherer wrote: Hi Dan, In my experience with EAC, I don't think you can get it to automatically put them in to a artist's directory.

Re: Exact Audio Copy Directory and File Question
Yes to both questions, as I outlined in an earlier message, you need to use various variables to tell EAC how you want the file named, you can put the songs in order of how they are played on the original CD in several different ways, the first is to use the track number variable %n before the track artist or track title, the standard format for a file name of a track however doesn't usually include a track number, its just the artist followed by a dash and then the track title, and you would set the variables in EAC'S track naming edit box accordingly, %a - %t,. Now if you just use title and artist then you'll need to get EAC to generate a playlist, when you open the playlist with Winamp, VLC etc then the files will be played in the order they appeared on the original CD. Getting back to placement of files in directories with eac, use a line something similar to this in the Track Name edit box to give EAC an idea of where you want files placed, %a\%c\%a - %t would tell EAC to create a directory corresponding to the name of the artist, create a sub-directory under that corresponding to the name of the CD and name the track with the artist followed by a - and then the title. To tell EAC where your master directory is on your drive (that is to say where you want all your music stored) then go to the Directory tab of EAC and set it up there, you can also have EAC to prompt you where you want each CD stored if you prefer that, I found the latter approach very handy actually when ripping books.

Exact Audio Copy
Have been sent a file extracted with this program. It appears to be one large file with an .ape extension. The archive also contains a .que file which appears to contain information regarding the separation of the file in to tracks. I don't have this EAC on my computer just now. When I install it to deal with this long file how do I go about recreating the original cdrom? What settings do I have to arrange for this to occur? Any assistance appreciated.
