As I have an old topic about "Exact Audio Copy 1.0beta4 update" (http://audiosex.pro/index.php?showtopic=16062&st=0) that is not actual anymore! This NEW topic you are reading now is dedicated to all new/latest updates for this software (sorry for this inconvenience, guys).

Latest Updates NEWS:
- 1.1 (July 2, 2015):
Here comes a version which fixes quite some recent problems and adds a new plugin for AcoustID in the package (but is not installed by default). Hopefully it works for you! [installer as well as includes CDRDAO and Flac packages]

- 1.0beta6 (April 9, 2015):
In order to fix a severe problem with crashing EAC whenever a read error occurs, I have published a new update. Please install the update as soon as possible! Sorry about any inconviences!

- 1.0beta5 (April 4, 2015):
The last version had still some problems, mainly the Cygwin component could cause some problems in some Windows systems. Therefore I updated the Cygwin components, hopefully the problems are now gone. Also the CTDB plugin needed an update which is also included.
Happy Easter!

- 1.0beta4 (December 18, 2014):
The last update was a really long time ago, but finally here comes a new version of EAC.
There are no larger new features, but bug fixes mainly regarding drive detection and problems on installing the .NET plugins made it necessary to release this service update.
Also I updated the freedb++ plugin, so that it again finds more covers to choose from. This plugin will be released as public domain shortly (I always wanted to do that, but I always wanted to comment the whole code first – I gave up on that…)
Finally I updated several included external components, like CTDB and Flac.
Hopefully everything works right out of the box, as there aren’t that much changes in it anyway.

Planned For The Next Releases:
- Possibility to use commercial metadata engines
- Better metadata editing
- More features to come

It saved me some audio CDs

 

Best Audio CD ripper there is.

 

can someone explain what can this do ? and for what purpose and how/when can i use this ?

thanks

 

It's a CD ripper. Also on Wikipedia.

 

True, bit-in-bit, EXACT copy of your CDs into your audio files. 100% QUALITY CD RIPPER. As I know it also works with spoiled/damaged/dead CD a bit better than another ripper. But recently I killed my CD drive with it. My CD drive is cheaper than sh*t. :D
I like as well - dBpoweramp 15.3, EZ CD 3
