What it does
Exact Audio Copy extracts music from audio CDs and uses verification methods to identify potential read errors.
It is useful when a disc needs more scrutiny than a simple copy operation. If an uncorrectable error is reported, inspect the stated time position in the result. Verification supports a review workflow; it is not a promise that every damaged disc can be recovered. It is free for noncommercial use; commercial licensing needs a separate check.
