Duplicate EAC Settings Profile to New CD Drive

2024-10-08 01:44:47

I have 2 external CD drives hookup to my pc and want to duplicate my existing EAC FLAC settings to the new drive.

Right now If I load my existing EAC FLAC settings profile it changes my drive to my original CD drive; is it possible to apply all the settings to my new CD drive or do I need to go into each settings menu and create a new one?

The Compression Options dialog (External Compression) isn't drive specific. Your FLAC settings will work for both.
If you want to use the other drive (assuming both drives are connected and Drive Options were set for each), just switch to the other drive.


If you haven't setup the Drive Options for the 2nd drive yet, switch to the 2nd drive as above and then press F10 to manually set these.

Thanks, when I get to the Offset/Speed drive option menu I didn't run the accurate rip configuration so it is no longer grayed out like the previous drive had it. Should I run the configuration on this drive again?

I'm following this guide on setting up : https://captainrookie.com/how-to-setup-exact-audio-copy-for-flac-ripping/#Drive-Options

For AccurateRip you need to insert a key disc into the drive. With a key disc in the drive, the AccurateRip plugin will offer to configure the offset. You may need to try multiple CDs. You need to be connected to Internet.

That worked, thanks!

One more note, I noticed when I rip a cd the cover image is being saved without any extension..I have to add the .jpg otherwise its not associated with any file format. This happens if I have to add the image myself (I confirmed its saved as a jpg when I drag to the cd cover portion of EAC)
