Here comes the new EAC 0.95b3. There are several issues fixed, e.g. some CUE sheets could not been written to CD-R using CDRDAO and now it is possible to wait for external compressors to finish the job before powering down the computer. For some users with high ping times (like satellite internet users) there is a new command line option called -slowconnect which will wait longer for a connection to be established, hope that will work better.
For the next version, I will finally implement the test & copy function for CD images, due to many requests.
Good luck with this version! :))

As always there were some slight bugs in the first larger release, so here comes directly a new version. Hopefully this will fix most issues with the last version. CDRDAO problems will partly persists (not starting up), perhaps try a differently compiled EXE, any with version number equal or greater to 1.1.9 should work fine.
For those who still have problems with accessing freedb using EAC, please try the command line switch “-http1.1”, you can, if it works for you, enter that directly into the properties of the desktop shortcut (the screenshot shows the german properties dialog, but the changes should be clear).
Hope you will like it 🙂

It took quite some time until this new version but I had to write my diploma thesis inbetween…

Stability should have greatly improved and there are some nice new features and some options people have requested. As a new additional feature there is now the possibility to use CDRDAO for writing CDs from EACs layout editor (like burnatonce), hope this will improve compatibility with most writers. Again, read more in the “News.rtf” file.

There is an archive with only EAC and a second one that also includes the CDRDAO package for easy download. In a few days, if everything works out, there will be also an windows installer package to make installation as easy as possible for beginners.

Here comes the new version 0.95pb5. It doesn’t have many new features, but every improvement is an improvement. Read more in the “News.rtf” file, that is included in the archive.

At the moment I am quite busy with my diploma thesis and the work for my living, so it can again take a while until a new version will be released…

So, hopefully you like this one ;))

Perhaps you found out that EACs homepage on ExactAudioCopy.de was invalid. Strato send me notice for the first of march (without giving any reason). But anyway, the problem with the ExactAudioCopy.de domain should be gone by now. ExactAudioCopy.de and ExactAudioCopy.org domains now point to the new EAC webspace at IPX-Server.

As it still take some more work to be finished on the release scheduled for christmas, I release this small bugfix release, which covers mainly corrections on sample rate conversion on compression and also a newly written Native SCSI interface, which now should also be able to use external drives and be more stable overall. Next version will include AccurateRip and another nice feature (surprise), it will be finished christmas, but due to the needed translations, it will be released january at best.

There were still some smaller bugs, and dialog translation was made a little bit easier. Some more languages have been added to the default ZIP package, please make sure that you extract the files with pathnames. So, have fun with 0.95 prebeta 3!

As always, a bug fix release of 0.95 prebeta 1 is released a few days later 😉
There were some smaller bugs, and some issues for the translation SDK fixed. Hopefully this version don’t need a third prebeta…

Finally here comes 0.95pb1. The translation of the program took longer than I expected. Further, I had (and will have) less and less time for working on EAC. The main feature is the language SDK, which enables people to translate EAC into nearly any language. There is more information on that at the download location. Besides that, there are only minor additions and a lot of bugfixes. Please make sure again that your compression queue is empty when installing the update!
Anyway, I hope you will like it!

Here is my new page layout, hope you like it! The creator was Dean Giles, thanks for creating it!
On the occasion of the new page layout, I will also put out the version 0.9b4. This will hopefully fix some smaller bugs like the burning problem and I also worked something on hanging in the waveform editor. It may be better now, or on the other hand even worse, if you had problems with the previous version please tell your experiences… Meanwhile the work on 0.95pb1 make progress, main change is the language SDK.

So, last try 😉
All bigger remaining issues (like GUI bug, etc.) are hopefully now fixed, there are some smaller additions and improvements (e.g. assembler FFT, faster spectral display). I hope you like it!
Either uninstall the previous version and use the installer of this one, or just unzip the files over the old ones.
For Monkeys Audio DLL support, you need the most recent version of the DLL. There are again some changes in parameter passing…
