What makes EAC special compared to other rippers is the fact that it is capable of reading audio CDs almost perfectly.

	As different models of common CD-R writer usually do not add the same offset on writing, it seems that also big CD manufactures also do not always press the same offset on their CDs. So it was determined the most common offset of pressed CDs and integrated it into the offset detection routines.

	You can begin configuring EAC by starting with the Drive Configuration followed by the Gap Settings and finally, the Encoder Options. Remember to use only an original, factory-pressed Audio CD for configuring EAC. Please do not use, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, bootlegs or any such discs. Also use a non copy-protected disc which carries the familiar “Compact Disc-Digital Audio” logo.

	EAC uses various methods for extracting audio data. EAC can also invoke externally installed encoders, thereby making it possible to simultaneously rip and encode audio data to the format of your choice.
