Download Exact Audio Copy 1.0 beta 3

The third beta release of version 1.0 of Exact Audio Copy has been released. Exact Audio Copy is an advanced audio extraction program for reading protected or unprotected audio CDs into the computer, whereby you can choose almost any compression format imaginable. The program was developed by André Wiethoff, out of dissatisfaction with the extraction programs at the time, which often had poor results with damaged CDs. Exact Audio Copy uses a reading technique with which errors can be detected with very high reliability and in many cases even corrected. Through the AccurateRipplugin, the quality of the rip can be compared with that of other users. Below are the release notes for this release.

The released beta 3 of EAC is probably the first really stable 1.0 version, as many more bugs are fixed. For an exact list, please read the News.rtf file, which is stored in the EAC directory by the installer (and which can be accessed via the start menu).

This version includes the CTDB plugin written by Gregory Chudov. It will not be installed by default, you need to check the plugin option in the installer. If everything works as expected, the next version of EAC will come with the CTDB plugin installed by default. So try it out now!
