Andre Wiethoff has just released an update to EAC. Announcement.

Changes:

• The installer lets the user choose which components (e.g. FLAC or CDRDAO) he wants to install
• Replacement with newer Accurate Rip DLL, FLAC Executable and the WMA Encoder Script
• Added two more languages to the installer
• Fixed the AccurateRip log info, where something is exactly 10
• Fixed a crash on detecting gaps for silence on mixed mode CDs
• Fixed the wrong export of the flag %F of the entire database to DB Text
• Probably something else ;)

You can find a link for the download at the official EAC site:

Thank You

Relative paths ("external compression" section) still not supported?

If you explain what you mean by that, I'm sure someone here can help you.

As for your choice of smiley, I'd say you're projecting.

Great news

Nice, thank you.

Thanks for the info.
As I can see, some EAC wiki articles have to be changed slightly.

"Process WAV" option causes an Unhandled Exception once you exit from it (regardless if you just cancel the file selection or actually do something and exit later). It says "Unhandled Exception at Options.264 -> INDEX-RANGE". Happened in all the 99 prebetas.

It also resets the options for whatever was the selected cd drive at the moment. Very annoying.

I cannot confirm this problem, but feel free to report any problems over at the official support forum. They're a lot less likely to get any attention if posted here.

Are you switching back and forth between V0.95 and V0.99? Locations for drive information in the registry have changed since V0.95. I've yet to hear about such an issue from anyone else.

"Compression Options" --> "External Compression" --> "Program, including path, used for compression":

Absolute path (Eac's current behaviour) example: G:\Apps\Audio\Codecs\Flac\flac.exe

Now, I would like to insert the relative path (but eac doesn't accept), useful for portability (usb pen drive, etc.), example:
.\flac.exe
or
.\external_codecs\flac.exe
or
..\audio_codecs\Flac\flac.exe

etc.

In this way, you are not bound to specific letter drive/partition.

Thank you.

I was thinking you wanted to configure different destination folders based on the compression format that you use (eg. c:\mp3\... and c:\flac\...).


First of all, since EAC uses the registry I don't think there was ever an intention to make it portable, so it doesn't surprise me that your request wasn't considered. This doesn't mean that EAC can't be made portable, or at least to a certain extent (automatic integration of AccurateRip may very well be impossible on multiple systems, for example).

In terms of relative paths for external encoders this can be done without modifying EAC. If you plan on making EAC portable, you're probably running some type of script to import registry settings prior to launching EAC and it should be relatively simple to enter the drive letter and path to the registry directly as part of the process.

Will this install over 99pb3 without any problems?

That's not my post (but i read it two weeks ago)


Infact I'm using a true portable Eac (0.99 prebeta 3), i virtualized it using a sw virtualizing sys (works flawlessly and i'm virtualizing dbpoweramp, i hate sw that write to registry or to sys folders like %userprofile%, %appdata%, etc.), so that's because I've been looking for relative paths support.

btw, thanks

I would not be surprised if Windows v7 (or the one after) does not virtualize each program and keep it on their own sand box and you set which files are shared between programs, it would be end game for viruses.

I think I did a clean install, and I havent used 095 ever since 099 came out (better logfile).

Could somebody please post this over the EAC forums, I couldn't register there the last time I tried.

A little offtopic:
Which version of EAC is now recommended?

Did for me

i wish EAC would allow non normal characters in the cue sheet (in the track name)
how come its prebeta...why not just have it beta or is it too "buggy" to be beta yet? prebeta 3 work very well for me

Thanks for the sharing the info. I've been a little out of the loop of late, since I just had a kid and my job has turned into a 60+ hour a week nightmare...

I'm still using EAC .95 b3 from back in 2005

Could someone please give me a brief explanation of the major changes?

I mainly use EAC w/ REACT (which I probably also need to update) for creating FLAC files for playback and archival purposes and MP3's with LAME for my portable uses.

Thanks!

I recall that one feature was removed way back when because of RIAA pressure.
But, I don't remember what that feature was -- can somebody refresh my memory?

It is mentioned here.

Yeah, those comments about not being able to rip copy protected material was one of the main reasons I didn't update EAC a couple of years ago. Then I lost the time to properly research updates.

I'm guessing the current suggestion is keep older copies of EAC around for a just in case need and continue updating to the current releases?

What does the following line from the changelog mean?



I ripped all my CDs using the previous release. Should I be worried?

If there is exactly ten of something in the AccurateRip portion of the log file, it will display the number 0 without the leading 1. Apparently this only got fixed for the status dialog and not for the log but should be fixed in the next release.

No.

Oh, okay!

Thanks greynol!

Does anyone know when will the next version come out? It was expected for the summer, but nothing has been announced yet...

Yes, is development here dead? The same applies to CDex?

Apparently, a new version will be out soon, whatever soon means, but without significant changes...
