Hi Kelly, I wonder have you upgraded to the latest version of eac? I've been using ver 0.9pb5 here for quite a while And never felt the need to change.
Now having to install eac on a new pc, I'd be interested to know if there are any accessability issues with version 1.02 which I believe is the latest version. Best regards, Tim. Bangor, N. Ireland.

If EAC obtains identical readings on the same sector, it uses that data. If not, it keeps reading the sector on the CD to obtain a wave form closest to the original recording. In addition, it is possible to calibrate most CD drives so EAC compensates for the offset from the manufacturer. the multiple reads and the offset feature along with precise control of the Lame CODEC produces excellent rips that cannot be surpassed. Jim, after the initial set up and familiarization, configure Lame to your own taste, presets are recommended, insert your naming conventions, and calibrate your player with EAC. There is a long article on drive calibration on line that i used to calibrate my drive. After that, try a test rip and listen to the results. Realize EAC rips take longer than the quick and dirty rips done in itunes or Windows Media, but the results are far superior. I have a computer dedicated to PC Audio so this is not an issue for me.
