Well Im convinced
that EAC is superior at reading the disc. Its the conversion from CDDA
file to wav file that I would prefer to avoid. Other software is capable of
sort of storing CDDA on the hard drive in the form of a disc image. Burnatonce
for one and it can be set to perform additional read checks when reading the
disc. I dont think its comparable to EACs secure mode
though. EAC does have the ability to create a wav image and a cue sheet that can
be used to make an exact copy. The digital files are still converted to wav and
then back again though. Ive never personally experienced any of the
clicks and pops doing a direct disc copy with Roxio ether but I do still use EAC
just to be sure. Still I think that most of the time a direct disc copy comes
out fine. If your disc is damaged at all then EAC is the only way to go.

Great explanation Jim and thanks. One question on the following
sentence, should that read EAC is
inferior? If EAC is superior then
you would take exact copies of CDs rather than
ripping?
The belief that EAC (exact audio copy)
software is superior at
reading the disc however has lead to the
practice of ripping an
audio CD into wav files first and then
authoring a new CD from
them rather than doing a disc copy.
