Hello,
I need help with EAC. I plan on selling off some of my MoFi discs but want to back them up with EAC so I can still listen to them.
Here is a problem I have. I followed the instructions with the EAC program to determine the offset that my CD-ROMs have when distracting CD audio.
The program says I can use the program. However, a site I vistied a while back says I have to use a carefully cut CD-R to make the process work.
I want to make definitive backups of these discs and really am getting paranoid about offsetting samples. :-[
Can anyone walk me through the process or provide me with a link to a site that will help out? ???
Thanks in advance.
Darren :-[

Hello,
Thanks for the links. I will try to do this sometime before the end of the year.
I figure that I could get a few more $$ out of my MoFi discs in mid-Jan. due to X-mas money and the end of New Years Eve events.
:hmmm:
What do you think?

+T (is that how you do it?) thatnk for the info. I did the offset thing a couple of hours ago on my CD-r drive and it seem sto work.
I checked and doubel checked. Thanks for the links.
Tomorrow I will do my DVD-ROM drive and later re-extract all of the discs that I have archived. :P

Man, this is a bitch.
I am doing everything the tutorial sites are telling me to do.
It is now 2:26 in the morning. I have been working on getting the offset on the one drive to read zero with no errors all night. The best I have gotten so far is first track WAVs have 6 repeated samples at the start and the rest have 6 missing samples at the start.
Looks like I will have to set my CD-R burners write offset to "0" instead of"+6" as suggested for my make and model by one of the pages. However, it still will not give me a perfect clone. And I am wasting precious Fuji Japans doing it.
The differences between the original store bought Elvis CD > EAC >WAVs and the Elvis CD > EAC > WAV > audio CD-R > EAC > WAVs was 692 samples. This is the offset of my CD-R drive.
That is the total offset, not the offset for just the ripping. The offset for the writing has to be figured out, too.
The site says mine is +6 but it looks like 6 is screwing things up for me.
Has anyone had as much trouble getting their offsets corrected as I am? ???
