Using EAC with Wine
The EAC program is recognized by lovers of high-quality (lossless) sound, as the best ripping program. Everyone loves to listen (and save) for the collection “as”, and EAC is developed only for Windows (98 / ME / XP / Vista). Almost all Linux programs for creating rips are based on the Cdparanoia library (libparanoia), which, although not completely outdated, is not very actively supported.
EAC can be run in Wine, but it completely refuses to work with the drive (it simply does not see it). In this small article we will talk about how to eliminate this drawback.

Restart the program and see that the drive is defined:
For verification, insert any AudioCD and wait for the EAC to read it:
The program has identified the disc and is ready to extract the audio tracks.
