* [http://www.wavpack.com/downloads.html Wavpack 4.31]<br />
<br />
=Installation=<br />
'''Note:''' This guide assumes that EAC is has been configured for secure ripping, if not please follow [[EAC_Drive_Configuration | this]] guide.<br />
* Unzip Wavpack into the same directory that EAC is in.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Configuration=<br />
<br />
* Open EAC and insert a CD into the drive.<br />
* Click the '''EAC''' menu and select '''Compression Options'''.<br />
* Click the '''External Compression''' Tab, and put a check box in '''use external program for compression'''.<br />
* Change '''Parameter Passing Scheme''' to '''User Defined Encoder'''.<br />
* Change '''user file extension''' to '''.wv''' if not already that.<br />
* Click the '''Browse''' button and locate the '''WAVPACK.EXE''' that you unzipped earlier.<br />
* Remove the ticks from '''Use CRC check''', '''Add ID3 tag''' and '''check for external programs return code'''.<br />
* In the '''Addtional command line options''' box, copy and paste the string below.<br />
<br />
'''No Tags:'''<br />

<font style="color:green">'''Note:''' ''If a user wanted to change compression settings on Wavpack the green portion what you would substitute with the new preset.</font><br />
* Do not worry what bit rate is shown in the bit rate drop down box, this will be ignored.<br />

=Hybrid Mode=<br />
If you want to create a correction file while encoding from EAC you will need to adapt your normal command line slightly, to ensure that the correction file ("<name>.wvc") is named the same as the primary file ("<name>.wv"). If you do not follow these guidelines your correction file will be named incorrectly, using the temporary filename that EAC uses while processing.<br />
<br />
Since Wavpack 4.1 beta you can specify an additional file path when using the -c switch to request a correction file. This filepath will be used to name the correction file.<br />
<br />
The suggested method to implement this feature is to utilise the '''Use CRC check''' checkbox on the '''External Compression''' dialogue, to specify whether a correction file is required or not. In conjunction, you must also add the following to the end of your command line:<br />
<br />
<pre>%c-c %o%c</pre><br />
<br />
E.g.:<br />
<br />
<pre>-w "Artist=%a" -w "Title=%t" -w "Album=%g" -w "Track=%n" -hb320 %s %d %c-c %o%c</pre><br />
<br />
When you check '''Use CRC check''' the -c switch, and the file path specified by the EAC placeholder %o, will be included in your command line, creating a correction file with the correct file name. With '''Use CRC check''' unchecked no correction file will be created.<br />
<br />
If you do not want this configurability simply add:<br />
<br />
<pre>-c %o</pre><br />
<br />
All encodes will then include a correction file, which is named correctly.<br />
