    Default EAC - Windows 8?

    Just setting up a new PC and was wondering if anyone is using Exact Audio Copy with Windows 8 as it doesn't show yet show as a compatible O\S on the EAC website which seems odd as Win 8 has been around for a while.

    Thank Clive, I've installed the latest 1.0 B3 version and it seems to be working and rips all tracks from the CD OK. However it's not creating a seperate folder for each album at the moment and so I will need to do some research on the net as configuration of this latest version is a little different from my old one.

    Rich,

    Try this naming scheme in your EAC options under 'Filename' - %albumartist%\%albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title%

    This should do what you need

    Took me a bit of tweaking to sort it myself Rich when I upgraded my EAC to 1.0 b3 - why do they always have to change things around

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
