Exact Audio Copy, or often simply EAC, is a proprietary freeware, for non-commercial use, CD ripping program for Microsoft Windows.
This program was created by Andre Wiethoff, a student at the University of Dortmund in Germany. In 1998 he became "fed up with other audio grabbers" and decided to try his own. EAC is software that is free to use and registration is done by sending him a postcard.
Features
As of the latest version, Exact Audio Copy, has a number of features, including: usage of the Windows 95 and Windows NT ASPI, so both SCSI and ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported, hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction), secure, fast and burst extraction methods, read error and complete loss of sync detection and correction, and a number of other features to maximize the possibility of getting an exact copy of the original source audio.
