Exact Audio Copy Forum

I just installed EAC 0.99pb5 and it worked excellently with Crossover 8.0 beta 2 Linux. As far as I could tell all features were working and it successfully ripped and savede some files in flac.

Hi Larry

How did you get this application working?
I created this application (EAC 0.99pb5; http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=6586) and tried with Crossover 9.0.0 for Mac and Linux. The application however doesn't work. It starts (with Win2000 bottle), but he doesn't recognize the cdrom.. I can install other applications from (data)-cdroms, but I can't rip a (audio)-cd...

Regards
Daniel

I would be interested how you got this application to work too. It does not seem to work. Installation is fine, application freezes after the window appears.

pbe, OK, EAC 0.99 prebeta 5 appears to be the secret. I just installed it in Crossover Pro 10 and 9.2. EAC 1.0 beta 1 does not work. I noticed on their forum that a lot of windows users are getting a "unhandled exception" error, which is what I got also. But 0.99 prebeta 5 seems to work. I installed it as an Unsupported Application, no tricks at all. It configured the CD drive and ripped and compressed a track. (This was in Lucid Puppy Linux 5.2 which is not especially Crossover friendly--you have to install Python from the Puppy Package Manager. Also menus don't work so you have to start the cxover programs from /opt/cxover/bin and start the installed program from /root/.cxover/eac-0/desktopdata/shortcuts.)

If you would like to see EAC run in wine, you can download the Lucid Puppy Linux 5.2 Live-CD. Boot the CD then click the install icon on the desktop and click the bottom button to run Puppy Package Manager. Click Setup and scroll down to click wine. That will install wine 1.1.43 (I also tested with wine 1.3.6). Then click Multimedia and click Exact Audio Copy, which will install EAC. You can do all this from the Live-CD without writing anything to disk. EAC will be under Multimedia Tools in the Menu.

The link is Lucid Puppy 5.2, scroll down to the iso and download and burn then boot.

I just checked and EAC 1.0 beta does not run in Lucid Puppy--an 'unhanded violation.'

It is 0.99 prebeta5 that is working. I just checked in wine 1.3.13 and it ran there too.

Hey Daniel, Almost a year late, but I added a new message about EAC. I have it working in Crossover Linux Pro 10 and 9.2. Use 0.99 prebeta 5. Cheers, Larry
