EAC - Exact Audio Copy

What works

• All text, titles, setup, configurations
• Detecting, configuring, and enabling AccurateRip support
• Searching FreeDB for CD information, applying information from FreeDB, changing CD artist and title values
• Ripping to WAVs, creating subdirectories for artists and albums
• Ejecting CDs when finished

What does not

Nothing (that I tested)

Workarounds

What was not tested

• Heavily damaged discs needing lots of error correction
• FLAC rips
• Ripping and encoding using enc_lame
• CD burning

I'm strictly using EAC to rip CDs to WAV for further manipulation via LAME in Linux, so if you're looking to burn something in EAC (why would you?), or are creating a FLAC + CUE library, you'll just have to try it yourself.

Additional Comments

Used "External ASPI" CD interface, didn't bother trying the native Win32 method. When the latest EAC version, 1.0 beta 3, failed to even start under Wine 1.5.13, I gave this a shot. Worked swimmingly! Was extremely stable under a fresh Wine install
