Go to compression options and have a look if you selected “Do not write WAV header” and specified “cgf” below.

When using a CUE sheet generated by EAC in CDRWin, it tells, that the CUE sheet is not valid. When I have a look at the CUE sheet myself, I see that there are sometimes dozens of indecies that all have the same position. What can I do?
Try a different gap detection mode and if none removed that problem, you would have to edit these CUE sheets manually, removing all indecies bigger then 01 and indecies that have impossible possitions.

The last few audio CD’s I’ve copied using EAC all have the track position wrong by about 1 second. If I go to a particular track with my CD player, it will start the track about 1 second INTO the audio track. I have been using the “Copy Image And Create CUE Sheet” option for copying the CD’s. How can I avoid this problem in the future?
One of the biggest mistakes that could be made in 0.85beta (from 0.9beta3 on I prevented it automatically) is to have selected “Remove Leading And Trailing Silence”. If the image file contains silence at the beginning (e.g. 1 second) it will be removed and everything get moved by one second. So you should deactivate this option for 0.85b4. If this is not the problem, try a different gap detection mode and compare the generated CUE sheets manually.

When using “Copy Image And Create CUE sheet” (or just creating a CUE sheet), EAC says it is getting pre-gap info on Track 1, the CD is spinning furiously, but nothing is getting written to the HD. I’ve left it as long as 2 hours, nothing changes in the GUI, no progress bar, no file gets created, nothing. (But I can cancel the operation.) What’s up?
Try to select another “Gap Detection Mode” in the drive options. If the selected mode does not work like that one, one of the other two should work at least.

Should I be selecting Accurate, Inaccurate, or Secure in the “Gap Detection Accuracy” box?
Accurate Accuracy should be quite good for any CD. If there is a problem CD, where the gap detection hangs, try inaccurate, as it will go on, when no information could be gathered in a time. If you got gap length that are wrong only by some blocks, you could try to do gap detection again with secure settings.

What is the difference between Gap Detection Methods A, B, & C ?
These are all different methods for retrieving the index markers (gaps, etc.). Some methods will work with some drives, the others won’t, you should test all of them which works best for you. None of them is by used method better or worse than the other, but by used method the A is the fastest one and C the slowest (if it works correctly!).

I read that it is possible to leave out the pre-gap of a track. Unfortunately, I could not find where these options could be set.
In the Action menu, you could choose what to do with the gaps. For a new extraction, try to detect gaps, then choose “Leave Out Gaps” and copy the tracks. Usually the gaps are not copied to the (single) WAV files anymore.

I burned a continous CD in TAO by accident… Is it possible to remove the standard 2 second gap automatically?
Best possibility would be to extract all tracks with a read offset of -5000 and then load each track into the EAC WAV editor and use “Remove leading and trailing silence”. Then you should be able again to write them without gaps. It would be possible to remove them also by offset correction and gap detection, but for that you would need and use the exact combined offset of the writer.

If I have some glitches in a WAV after extraction, and I didn’t hit the glitch removal button before I got out of that menu, is there a way to access glitch removal after this point?
On the top select Tools, then Process WAV. Select song from wherever it’s saved. Anything can be done to this file or any uncompressed WAV file. When you want to removing glitches, you have to select that faulty range of the WAV for doing glitch removal (of course, you are able to select the whole waveform by double clicking it).

I have clicked on the “Possible Errors” after extraction, and then I have to “Select A Track”. I do that and then I have 2 choices: Glitch Removal and Play. If I do any of these both, the whole track will be processed, I’m not sure where to find the position of the flaws.
When finished extracting, EAC will tell you if there were errors in the extraction. If there were, when you click the “Possible Errors” button, it will give you a time range that the error occured in. If it doesn’t report errors, it will not have a range, you will be able only to choose the whole track and not the specific positions (as there are none).
