EAC (Exact Audio Copy): This is the industry-standard software for ripping CDs. It uses a "secure mode" to read each sector of a disc multiple times. If an error is detected, the software slows down to ensure the data is captured perfectly, creating a 1:1 digital clone of the physical disc.

  1. Mastering. Streaming services almost universally serve the 2014 "Definitive Master" (Remastered), which brick-walls the chorus of "That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore".
  2. Watermarking. Some streaming lossless tracks contain inaudible digital watermarks that kill the stereo phase coherence.
  3. The "1985" factor. The 1985 CD uses a different equalization curve. The church-like reverb on Morrissey’s voice in "Well I Wonder" is drowning and distant; in the remaster, it is pulled forward. The 1985 EAC rip is the only way to hear the album as the mastering engineer intended in the 80s, not as it is viewed through modern filters.
