Exact Audio Copy v1.6

Post by janivee »

EAC seems to work fine with Mint 20.2. using Wine (ripping, compressing and cddb). https://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

I used Lutris to set up everything and Winetricks to install needed goods (dotnet20, wine-mono). My Wine is 6.19. Prefix 64-bit.

In my system Fre:ac is the fastest and Ripper X loudest, for some reason. EAC is the slowest, but with the best logs.
Some say that EAC will get the best result with bad cds.

Happy ripping with good logs! Quality is probably same as with Ripper X and Fre:ac.

Yes, EAC is better with bad CDs because it will retry bad sectors, which is not foolproof but better than most rippers. AFAIK it's really the only thing that distinguishes it.

Not having bothered with optical disks for a while, I can't say what if any native Linux disk rippers will also do retries but I'd be surprised if none did.
