Well how then could Exact Audio Copy have worked find if the CD wasn't
ripped successfully? <smile>.
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.

hmmm, I have had no very long times with exact audio copy, except for
one cd which was never ripped successfully at all. My drive was in
the database, so it worked fine, even the accurately ripped database.

Exact Audio Copy is a truly outspend tool.
Its been a good while since I’ve used it given I use my Mac for that sort of
thing so I don’t know where the software is at these days.
First thing I will tell you is that - due to the truly configurable and
customisable nature of Exact Audio Copy - you’ll need to set aside a little
time to get everything up and running and making sure that everything is
performing accurately.
I do know there are tutorials available to help configure Exact Audio Copy so
take a look for those with Google.
And finally, Exact Audio Copy is exactly that, exact when it comes to Ripping CD’S
so don’t be surprised if the software takes an hour or more to rip a single CD
depending on its condition, if Exact Audio copy takes five or so minutes to rip a
CD then its not working properly <smile..
Also be sure to adjust the offsets for your drive correctly and any other
parameters that need attention - dependent on the drive - such as Pre gap
detection, C2 error, data ripping mode etc.
Enjoy your audio.

Hey folks
Subject line basicly tells the story. I have some cd's that were sent to me,
and i'd like to rip them to the pc, but i'd like to make them sound as good as
possible. I am a huge fan of FLAC, or free lossless audio codec files. The
file size is a bit larger but the sound quality is supurb if you're listening
on a good system. Looking online, I saw many people mention a program called
Exact Audio copy, which has been around for years, does anyone on here have
experience using that? My hope is to convert the cd's to flac files, and use
the cd database to grab the song titles from the internet. I was thinking of
using CDEX, but sadly, i've never been able to get the CDDB, or Gracenote
servers to find anything. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks for any
ideas folks.
Chris
