The world's best audio decoder grabber + Lame 3.97 ..

Compared with most other audioekstraktorov, EAC uses the read-Secure. This means that all sectors are read at least twice (more grabbers read once), which significantly increases the recognition errors. When an error occurs, EAC reads audio data up to 82 times, to still get the correct value. If after 82 attempts the data can not be read (for example, due to severe damage to the disc), EAC will report an error and gives the exact location, so you can listen to the appropriate site and to determine the artifacts can be heard in the music or not. In most cases, you will not hear any artifacts, even if the EAC and will report an error reading. This makes it the only EAC grabber for Windows, able to extract tracks from badly scratched discs.

And now, when you believe that the EAC - a real miracle, you should know the following: precisely because EAC carries at least a double reading, the process of extracting the tracks at least twice slower than other grabbers. Of course, for those who want to get the highest quality, it's no problem, but those who want the highest possible speed and do not care about the artifacts, low recovery rate EAC may disappoint. For example, on Plextor'e scratching 32x CD with EAC is extracted at a rate of 10-17x. The same CD read speed AudioGrabber'om at 14-24x. It must be borne in mind that the Plextor CD-ROMs are often seen as benchmark audioekstraktory. In many other CD-ROMs results will be even lower.

However, almost perfect mechanism of reading - not all that offers EAC. The program supports the weight of external compressors and encoders, which means that one can use EAC to extract and encode audio-CD to MP3 or other compressed audio formats. Since you can specify almost any of the most common compressors, you can use your favorite encoder - unlike programs such AudioCatalyst'a tied to only one.

Another useful feature is the ability to "Write CD". EAC can burn a CD using a supported CD-recorders. This means that the EAC may well be used as a standalone program to copy audio-CD.
