Thread: Installing, configuring, and ripping with Exact Audio Copy (EAC)

  1. #11
    HI need some help. I just installed EAC 1.0 beta 3 by following the guide that Ca_aok wrote. Everything seems OK and I can rip WAV and FLAC files (yeah I keep the WAV files too).... but the problem is that neither the WAV nor the FLAC files are playing on my PC (i tried to play those with Foobar, Mediamonkey, VLC, etc but nothing worked).
    Just to test if there's any problem with the CDs, I ripped those with Foobar and the ripped files played just fine on my PC
    All other FlAC and WAV files on my PC play fine .....even FLAC/WAV files that i created a year back using an older version of EAC (the PC where i had that old version installed crashed and i got myself a new PC hence i had to reinstall EAC all over again).

    I even trying uninstalling the EAC and reinstalling again - but I still have the same issue : File ripped OK but the files don't play

    Can somebody please help?

    Here is an extract from the data sheet of one of the CDs that I ripped but ripped files are not playing:

    I'm in no way an expert but for Wav or Flac this kinda jumps out at you...


    Used output format : User Defined Encoder
    Selected bitrate : 320 kBit/s

    Hey Stan, thanks fror the response. The tutorial says use "User Defined Encoder". I read somewhere that the selected bitrate field is irrelevant - anyway i tried ripping with 768kbps too - same problem - file doesn't play

    OK, I'm back again : problem solved - found out the wrong settings in the Drive options and corrected those. Now everything is good in the world again. EAC rips to FLAC and WAV and the files play.... yaaaaaa :-D

    The most recent version of this is now mirrored at http://blowfish.be/eac

    Also yes, the selected bitrate is irrelevant for the way the guide is set up. User-defined encoders use only the commandline settings to determine bitrate.

    Hi ca_aok

    I followed your guide all the way up to the point of pre-ripping.

    The reason is, I want to rip my CDs in AIFF. Not sure what options/settings should I adjust to make proper AIFF rips. Best sound quality is my goal.

    Could you please tell me what to do/change? This would be my third time ripping my CD collection and I definitely want it to be the last since its growing at a very fast rate lately

    Awesome guide, properly explained. Keep it up!

    I'm no expert at ripping to AIFF as it's pointless for almost all users... it's a Mac only format and EAC is a Windows only program. Additionally it's inefficient (essentially the Mac equivalent of WAV files) compared to something like Apple Lossless. Nonetheless:

    The differences are in Step 6: Compression Options.

    Download Sox here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.4.1/
    Install the Windows version to a folder you can easily find.

    Under "use file extension", type in .aiff or .aif instead of .flac

    Instead of browsing to C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC\flac.exe (as shown in the image), browse to C:\whatever\sox.exe. By default it'll be at C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-1\sox.exe

    Make the command line the following:
    -t wav %source% -t aif %dest%

    Keep in mind you can't tag AIFF files, at least not that I'm aware of. Hope that helps!

    Ok, i've been searching for awhile and can't find the additional command line string for 320, V0, etc. (320 is most important to me). The one for FLAC in the guide here is far different from the command in the last version EAC I had installed (just reimaged/upgraded my box), so i'm assuming the same will be true for others. I hate to ask what seems like must be an oversight on my part, but i've put an hour into it now. Thanks in advance, and thanks for the updated guide!
