The title/description describes what's happening.

Essentially, EAC rips the entire CD fine except for the last track. The ripping screen with the error correction grid thingy says that the copy is ok, but when I click OK, on the next dialog, it says "Copy aborted", and the file that is saved is a 44byte WAV file. I've tried copying range as well, to no avail. Anyone else ever run into something like this? I've ripped plenty of other CDs. But this fails this way on both my ASUS 52x drive as well as a noname 48x burner on another machine.

I know this could be an EAC bug, and thus, wrong forum, but I thought I'd check here first, that maybe I was doing something wrong.

you should mention the last track is 1:45 of silence.

my file always get's compressed but it has an average bitrate of 3.2kbps. When i use test & copy on that track i never get a read or test CRC. does EAC have an option that cuts off silence? maybe that's what happening?

edit: i think i figured out the problem!

go to EAC>EAC Options>Extraction. If the "Delete leading and trailing silent blocks" box is checked, uncheck it!

I just tried it with that box checked and i got the same "copy aborted" message as you.

Ngah! Stupidity! Argh! Please ignore this thread, people...

You see, this is what I was afraid of...

Thanx for the pointer, calx.
