Ooh, plug-ins.

Plugins are good. I love plugins. Here's a plugin that adds CTDB support to EAC: CUETools.CTDB.EACPlugin.rar - just unpack this to EAC folder.

This actually contains two plugins, which can be enabled/disabled independently. One is a metadata plugin which uses Musicbrainz data via CTDB, other is an audio processing plugin which can verify and submit rips to CTDB.

Gregory, I see only Cuetools DB plugin, is that OK? I've unpacked all of it into EAC folder.

There's a button on the toolbar whose tooltip says "Get CD Information From Metadata Provider". Click on the down arrow next to it and select CUETools DB Metadata Plugin, if you wish to use CTDB/Musicbrainz instead of FreeDB.

Oh yeah...  I thought there are two independent plugins that can be independently disabled in settings of plugins...
Thank you.

I found that having the audio processing plugin enabled reduced the extraction speed of EAC 1.0b2 significantly (70% - 75% with my copy). Disabling it returned it back to normal.

This shouldn't happen. At least it doesn't happen on my system, and CPU usage during extraction is close to zero with plugin enabled. Please recheck this, because the extraction speed can be quite random sometimes and can for example decrease if drive is overheated. If this still happens, please post more details, including extraction log etc.

the cue tools DB not being available isn't the issue - things like that can't be helped. but i did notice it locks the EAC interface for a good minute or 2. surely it should only wait for a few seconds before giving up?

Thanks.

I reduced connection timeout to 15 seconds and re-uploaded the plugin.

As you can see, there is almost a 1.0x reduction in ripping speed when the audio processing plugin is turned on, which translates into the rip taking 6 - 7 minutes longer than it should.

Will installing this new beta cause all settings/presets to be lost?  (moving from 0.99 to 1.0 was    )

Yeah. You will have to recreate filename presets, at least.

Well, I like the ability to get data from Musicbrainz. If there would be plugin for Discogs, the program would be, IMO, complete...


I would love to see meta-data pulled from multiple sources, including MB, Discogs and freedb and aggregated in a manner similar to dBpoweramp's perfectmeta.

Great to see the addition of CTDB to EAC. Maybe spoon will follow??

i'd like to see more free sources added.  i'd also like the ability to tell EAC to add comp tags.

Don't know if this is the right place but I just want to let whoever it may concern that there is an error here: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...nal_Compression

So an exemplary EAC 1.0b2 or newer command-line could look like this (LAME):

-V 0 --vbr-new --ta "%artist%" --tt "%title%" --tl "%albumtitle%" --tg "%genre%" --ty "%year%" --tn "%tracknr" --tc "%comment%" %source% %dest%

"%tracknr" should read "%tracknr%"

Thanks for your report; the error will be amended.

If anyone has any corrections, suggestions, etc. regarding a page on the Knowledgebase—but you don’t want to create a wiki account and apply for its activation—please let myself or another moderator/administrator know via PM rather than by bumping old threads.

I'd really like to see EAC fix the long-standing issue with UNC paths. I can't rip files to a network drive unless I mount it to a drive letter first, which is annoying. Should be a pretty easy fix.

Could it be, that the release itself wasn't the only new thing on http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ , but also the installation of a flattr button for easy donation to the developer ? ^^ I could have sworn, that there wasn't a flattr button on this page before... as soon as it's possible to load one's flattr account via direct bank account, I'll flattr EAC !

I have another problem after updating to beta 2:
I have a few profiles saved in beta 1. After updating (just installed beta 2 over beta 1), I can't change between the profiles. If I do so, EAC just crashes without any message, it just disappears. Is this a known error? Are beta 1 profiles not compatible with beta 2?

No


But then it's a little strange that the program just crashes, when old profiles are loaded...
Many people may update EAC by installing it over the older version. Then everybody who is using profiles should run into similar problems.
