Exact Audio Copier

Features of EAC

• All kinds of CD and DVD drives are supported (including USB, Firewire, SATA and SCSI drives)
• Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)
• A secure, a fast and a burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction should run at the same speed as other grabbers with jitter correction, but is probably not exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any synchronization.
• Detection of read errors and complete losses of sync and correction in the secure mode, as far as possible
• Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and the possibility to listen to these positions
• EAC is able to copy ranges of music data, not only tracks
