Exact Audio Copy does not find a CD

Anyone has an idea how to solve it??

Are you sure information for disc 1 and 3 come from MB? It looks like only disc 2 cannot be identified, but possibly none of them was identified (because of a different release) and for disc 1 and 3 information is read from CD text (subchannel).

It’s also possible that only CD2 is different but that’s not very likely.

(I do not use EAC and I can probably only be helpful if it is not an EAC specific problem)

Which release is it? Have you submitted the disc IDs for all three discs?

Might be a problem how EAC calculated the disc ID then. Would be interesting to see which disc ID it calculated and on what TOC it is based.

Not sure if EAC shows this in the UI somewhere. But all the I formation is part of the ripping log files. Could you share the ripping log of the not detected disc?

One souls open a support ticket au EAC because when you read all this topic, you can see that EAC is matching MB releases in a weird manner, not by libdiscid.

It gives the same http://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/attach?toc=1%209%20275035%20150%2028400%2053435%2081709%20114239%20136328%20172831%20199605%20234413 as in CD 2 https://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/QeLpJ9pV4M9iIDADBTIZCRszNA4-.

As @jesus2099 wrote above, the TOC data from the log file does give the disc ID QeLpJ9pV4M9iIDADBTIZCRszNA4-. That means this should really be reported for EAC. I see two possibilities. Either EAC is doing something wrong with disc ID calculation, or something else goes wrong with the specific web service request EAC is doing.

I’ve emailed the developer of the EAC program. We must wait…

I used EAC 1.6 and it works well. This may give you a hint.

In the past, we Saw that EAC was not searching with disc ID, but with track times, (that could get miscomputed, IMO, for Enhanced CD for example).

EAC should use libdiscid to make sure to compute Disc ID the exact same way as MB and Picard.
I hope it does, now.

It’s a problem with the plug-in. Andre (author of EAC) sent me this:

Yes, I actually forgot to add 150 to the lead value in the plugin…
Check the corrected plugin (just replace the one in the installation).
https://www.exactaudiocopy.de/MusicbrainzCorrected.zip
It will be released with the next version of EAC…

This doesn’t fix the problem though.

Ach, apparently EAC still uses a modified version of FreeDB.dll where it should really use libdiscid and not try to reinvent the wheel.
Disc ID generation has its specificities and it can even still evolve with time (think of when multi-session disc handling was fixed).
No need to create and maintain a third party code, when using the official lib is possible. Or so I think.

Real MusicBrainz support means using up to date libdiscid. :wink:
