EAC is locking up as soon as I launch it.
I have a new PC with Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.
I am using the latest V0.99 prebeta 5 and also tried a recommended zipped version.
I have also have on my PC Adobe CS3 but can not find Adobe Drive - to remove it (it must just be with CS4).
I have tried installing the software to my one of my user folders.
Still no luck :-(
someone has put this on but I not great with PC's so I may have to do a bit of googling to find out what it all means:
Win 7 Pro 64-bit EAC Wouldn't Open - Digital-Inn
"EAC would install (tried in the multiple locations people have stated) but would not open.
If I put the aspi drivers in the EAC folder, EAC would open but CD drive would not recognize disks. Then had to reboot for drive to recognize disks.
Previously had all drives using AHCI.
Now have SSD and HDD using AHCI on one controller.
Moved CD drive to different SATA controller using IDE and it works."
I'd suggest something like Winamp -- it can rip to FLAC directly too so your CD's are in a LOSSLESS format from which you can make mp3's etc for portable players without losing the quality of your original music.
Winamp also uses the GRACENOTE systm for retrieving CD data -- it depends on what music you like but certainly for anything like Classical Music Gracenote is far better than freedb for labelling tracks.
You can always use something like MP3TAG to do final labelling or track re-numbering if you want (also works on FLAC files) although the rip information retrieved via Winamp is pretty good.
Even the free version of Winamp does a pretty good rip although it limits the rip speed to 8X max.
The cheap paid for version gives unlimited rip speeds --I've had speeds of up to 55X -- if the CD was ejected at that speed I think my neck would be sliced in two if I were in the way.
If you don't like FLAC it can rip to all sorts of other formats --but I really want to have my CD's saved in a LOSSLESS format.
Most MP3 formats while OK for a portable music player sound pretty horrendous when played through high quality sound gear especially at anything less than 128 kb -- hideous artifacts, clipping etc etc.
These don't matter at all when using cheap "bud earphones" on a portable music player but once you want to play into high quality gear and have the music sound the same as your original CD you really won't want to use the highly compressed mp3 format.
Incidentally with FLAC you can re-create or make new CD compilations as well with NERO --just install the codecs mega plugin (free).

Works with W7 x-64 too.
