Exact Audio Copy is a so called audio grabber for audio CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives. It works with a technology which reads audio CDs almost perfectly. If there are any errors that can’t be corrected, it will tell you on which time position the (possible) distortion occurred, so you could easily control it with e.g. the media player.

With other audio grabbers you usually need to listen to every grabbed wave because they only do jitter correction. Scratched CDs read on CD-ROM drives often produce distortions. But listening to every extracted audio track is a waste of time. Exact Audio Copy conquer these problems by making use of several technologies like multi-reading with verify and AccurateRip.

EAC now supports the AccurateRip plugin, which is included in the setup of the versions which support AccurateRip. If you don’t know what this is, please visit AccurateRip.com. . The plugin called AccurateRip.dll is installed within the EAC directory and EAC should then recognize the plugin automatically.
