from the mailing list:


"The following main changes are made from 0.9pb11 :


- GUI restructured, added new buttons, changed button type to flat buttons. Artist and CD information is now directly accessible through the main window.
- Profile usage is now easier and can be selected by a drop down box on the main window. For using your old profiles, copy them into the Profiles directory in EACs home.
- Updated freedb usage to proto 5.
- Configuration Wizard to setup basic drive, encoder and freedb
configuration for beginner users.
- Option setting for leaving out all advanced features, making it
easier for beginners.
- Secondary C2 extraction mode (may work better for some kind of erraneous CDs and for some but not every drive. Even if it may be misused for copy protected CDs, using this mode on protected CDs is only allowed when legal in your country). This mode is up to now very basic, and will be improved in upcoming versions.
- Manual detection of TOC, usefull if a CD is defective and displays wrong track positions or data tracks instead of audio, EAC will try to detect the CD structure by analysis. For this, your drive must support Gap Detection mode B.
- Uncompressed and compressed extraction is now divided, so
compression options will missing "Internal WAV routines".
- More placeholders for external command line encoders in "User
Defined Encoder" format, see FAQ for details.
- Correction of MP+ decoding bug with command line decoder.
- New Monkeys Audio (MAC) DLL support, you need at least DLL version 3.94.
- Compression queue is saved to harddisk and continued on next EAC session.
- Improving Pop Detection to 4 band analysis.
- Some more smaller additions... )
- Display of actual extraction position in real music time (for error
checking)
- Small corrections to ID3V2 routines, I hope they will still work
- Correction of support for some writers (no Philips/RAW MMC support though)
- Many smaller additions and bug fixes


Again I hope you will like this version!
It is recommended to delete the registry enrty in HKEY_CURRENT_USER in order to prevent problems with previous versions.
Work will continue, the next big step will be a localization version,
which will help to translate all EAC texts into your own language. But please do not ask when it is ready, it will be finished, when it is finished! Thanks.

Great news Eh?

If the new version is better looking than the old one and still does a real job, great, what more is there to say... Serious stuff

So who needs Gates's stuff? (Don't answer that!)

Snark..

I thought I'd mention that if you got to download EAC be careful of the top site in the download site list, it seems to have a corrupted (truncated) file, the second server (Uni-Dortmund) has a full copy.

Send the man a postcard with a nice picture and a stamp Eh?

His work is FREE, he deserves some thanks I think..

Snark.
