NOTA : This is adapted from a tutorial I know. This is how I am ripping my cds.

TUTORIAL TO MAKE A PROPER EAC FOR LOSSLESS SECTION VIA EAC

What's needed :

EAC (Exact Audio Copy) :
http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/en/inde...rces/download/

FLAC Lossless Audio Codec :
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.2.1b.exe

FIRST : STEPS 1 ---> 7 : CONFIGURATIONS

STEP 1

Download what's needed and instal it properly.

STEP 2

Start EAC & Hit F9. Then replicate the settings from the images listed below :






STEP 3



Now, replicate the settings from image above. In image file to your left column under naming scheme, copy/paste in the
following:

%D - %C (%Y) [FLAC]\%N - %T

Now, to your right, you'd copy/paste in the following:

%D - %C (%Y) [FLAC]\%N - %T

Once you're done, hit "OK" to exit out of the EAC Options.

STEP 4



Hit "F10" to bring up the drive options. A warning box may popup (as witnessed in image above) . Uncheck the box, and just hit OK here so it wont come back.



Now, in drive options, select the "Extraction Method" tab and replicate the settings from image above.

NOTES:
- If your drive or drives do not show up, you may need to close EAC, and make sure you placed wnaspi32.dll into your EAC directory.
- Not all drives support the Accurate Stream feature. To see what features your drive has click the "Detect Read Features..." button.

STEP 5



Insert a commercial CD audio in your drivve. Hit the "Drive" tab (image above). Then hit the button for Autodetect Read Command Now. Whatever read command it finds, use that.

Hit the Offset/Speed Tab and insert a retail CD in your drive.
With that audio CD in the drive, click "Detect sample offset correction." Once AccurateRip recognizes your cd as a valid "Key Disc," it will test your drive and determine the offset. Sometimes, if your drive is not in the active database, you may have to do a series of 3 tests with 3 different discs.



Once your drive offset is determined, the window should look like image above with the top portion greyed out.

STEP 6



Select the "Gap Detection" tab and replicate the settings from image above. Then hit "OK" to exit this menu.

NOTE : you can also use the Detection Method A ; it is better with it sometimes. Use that especially if ripping in FLAC doesn't work with some cds (it happens sometimes).

STEP 7



Now, hit "F11"and replicate the settings from image above with the exception of you selecting your own path for the external
compressor [FLAC] (use the location for the flac intaled at the beginning). Also, next to "Additional Commandline Options," copy/paste in the following:

-8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

Now hit "OK" to exit this window, and from the main menu, select the tab that says "EAC" at the top, and go to profiles -
save profiles, and save the profile.

LAST STEPS 8 ---> 10: RIPPING

STEP 8



Now that you have your setup all perfect, insert whatever CD you'd like to rip. You should see the FreeDB window pop up and your CD & Track names will be filled in automatically (image above).

Hit F4 to detect gaps for all of the tracks on the CD (image below)



STEP 9



Under the Action menu, make sure "Append Gaps to Previous Tracks" is checked. Then go to Create Cue Sheet, then click "Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant)" (image above).

STEP 10



Hit Ctrl-A to select all tracks, then hit Shift-F6 to rip and compress all tracks on the CD. Alternately, if you are only ripping to WAV, just hit F6. (image above).

Ripping at this high level of error correction usually takes some time. I've seen anywhere from 30-60 min. depending on the disc.

If you didn't already save a profile of all of these settings, make sure you do so. EAC --> Profiles ---> Save Profile

When it's done, check your logfile for errors. It has to be a perfect rip to be a suitable upload


DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR .CUE, .M3U & LOG FILES !
