Is using exact audio copy still the best way to rip old CDs in windows?

Yep, though I've never really noticed a concrete difference between one lossless rip and another lossless rip
Christopher Reyes
Yes
Dylan Ross
Fundamentally, there probably isn't a difference. Rather EAC produces a log that enables you to create a 1:1 duplicate of the commercial CD with gapless playback in addition to verifying the integrity of the rip at 100% or less depending on damage to the disc and other factors.

cdparanoia is broken abandoned shit
use cdda2wav
Brandon Price
It automatically re-reads in damaged sections of a disc until it gets a good rip and works well with a large number of drives.
it's superior than winshit

>a program is "abandoned" just because it's finished and completed
hi zoomer chan
Adam Brooks
Yep. Cdparanoia is equally good quality, but EAC gives the same results quicker.
You sound like someone who has never ripped a scratched CD with iTunes. It announces success and you add it all to your library, only to discover later some of the tracks have skips in them. EAC detects this and retries until it gets it right, and then points you at any questionable bits so you can review them to see if they sound alright.

Yes /thread
Cooper Scott

Connor Mitchell
no wonder trackers are full of shit
Leo Moore
fre:ac has a much simpler interface
Joshua Jones
No it doesn't.
Jaxon Russell
I said iTunes doesn't report errors. EAC tries a lot of times and then tells you if it thinks there might be bits of your rip that it can't get a successful read on.
Ryan Smith
Okay thanks. I don't know why I have it installed instead if another program, but I guess that it's justified.
Dylan Anderson
Yes. It's even available on fosshub now
