EAC - Exact Audio Copy

What works

• Detecting AccurateRip capability;
• Detecting gaps;
• Fetching external metadata using the CUEtools and MusicBrainz plugin;
• Ripping tracks;
• External compressors (tested FLAC and LAME, both 32-bit);
• Submitting AccurateRip results;
• Creating CUE sheets with CD-TEXT and UPC/ISRC;
• Creating log files with CUETools and AcoustID plugin information

What does not

None of the plugins work out of the box, see the workarounds section.

64-bit external compressors won't work using this workaround.
