Exact Audio Copy is the only program you should ever use to extract audio from a CD. This is because it is the only program that can guarantee a 100% exact copy. This is because programs like Adaptec EZ CD Creator, Audiograbber, etc. do not have the ability to perform secure mode audio extraction. This means that they read the disc once and if there is a flaw in what is read, it just overlooks it and moves on. What EAC will do is re-read the sector in question and confirm that it is recording the correct data. note: If you are a mac user, the equivalent software for you to use is Digital Audio Extraction (DAE).
