AutoFLAC 1.2, authored by Jared Breland, is an open-source helper script engineered to integrate tightly with Exact Audio Copy (EAC) and remove every manual step from the archival workflow of a CD collection. Written for Windows, the tool intercepts EAC’s post-rip events and immediately invokes the reference FLAC encoder with optimal compression settings, simultaneously verifying checksums, embedding a full cue sheet, and writing an EAC-compliant log into the same folder so that each resulting album image is a bit-perfect, self-documenting backup. Beyond encoding, the same script offers a symmetrical restore routine: selecting any FLAC image recreates the original disc layout, burns it through EAC or another compatible drive, and ejects the fresh CD-R for effortless duplication. Audiophiles, DJs, radio stations, and librarians therefore rely on AutoFLAC when large-scale, error-free ripping projects demand unattended overnight operation, while casual collectors value the guarantee that a scratched disc can be re-burned years later without hunting for scattered cues or logs. Because the code is lightweight and command-line driven, it slips easily into batch jobs, automated schedulers, or front-end wrappers, and its open license encourages customization for specialized naming schemes or additional codecs. The single published release, version 1.2, remains current and is distributed exclusively as a small standalone package that drops into EAC’s compression menu without further configuration. AutoFLAC is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
