If your drive caches audio data, you have to use the appropriate extraction mode, or if you still use the old secure mode, you have to enable the option ‘disable CD-ROM drive cache’. To exactly position the sliders in selecting a range to copy, you could move the sliders secondswise by clicking left or right side of the sliders (same as pressing the and keys) and blockwise by pressing the and keys. But make sure that you start both instances from different directories, otherwise some unanticipated side-effects could occur. You can open two instances of EAC, enabling you to read audio data from two different CD-ROM drives simultaneously. If this still does not help, also try the Native SCSI setting in the interface options.

To install a new ASPI, you should choose one from Nero® which can be download for free from Ahead®. Changing the interface setting could also help. There are many ASPI versions available which will work (more or less reliably) with EAC. If your computer doesn’t show any drives or shows an access violation after starting EAC, it is often the ASPI interface.

From time to time you should update the server list by pressing the button below that list box. If a server times out or does not respond, you can select another CDDB server from the list supplied in the list box. For example: Metallica / Nothing Else Mattersįreedb servers require an email address in the freedb options, you can also enter this information in the configuration wizard. Both parts are separated by the character “/”. The first part of each track name is the artist name and the second part is the song title. If a CD has songs from various artists, you could select the option “Various Artists” on the main screen. If your drive seem to make a bus reset (blinking LEDs for some seconds) or still does not find a matching read mode, please send an email!

In that case select the correct read command in the drive options menu manually. On some systems EAC will not find a matching read mode. This will make correction of badly read tracks very easy. This has the advantage that the differing positions could automatically be selected by double-clicking the position in the list box. With the WAV editor it is also possible to compare the actual file with another WAV file on the hard disk.

To check the correct offset, you could enter the offset value in the options and extract again the same range from the copied CD and compare it again with the range of the original CD, both should then be the same… If the original wav file has extraneous samples at the beginning, the offset should be negative otherwise positive (if the file of the copied CD has extraneous samples the offset should otherwise be positive, etc.) To determine whether the number should be positive or negative, you have to look if the samples are missing or are extraneous. This number will be the combined reader/writer offset. When extracted both files call compare WAV files and have a look at the number of the first missing/extraneous samples. Now extract the same range (somewhere in the middle of a track) with your prefered audio drive of the original and the copied CD. To determine the offset, you need an already copied audio CD where the WAV files were extracted with 0 offset. This offset can then be used for each pair of reader/writer. The WAV comparison feature could also be used to determine a combined reader/writer offset for exact audio duplication.

Some older CD-ROM drives will perform better on DAE when updating the firmware. Many guides regarding the setup and use of EAC can be found on the Links section of this page
