I received a brand new Cowboy Junkies CD today and put it into my Mac to rip it for my collection. After selecting all tracks and clicking "Encode"I immediately got the following message:
An error occurred while ripping tracks from the disc "Trinity Revisited".
Column identifiers used with NSTableView autosave feature must conform to NSCoding protocol.
Anyone have any idea how to correct this cryptic problem?
I'll send what I have got this evening after work...could you remind me where to find these files and where the send them (i.e do I just post them to the forum as an attachment?)
Max saves the .cdinfo files in ~/Library/Application Support/Max/
Double clicking will open a .cdinfo file in Max and show the saved CD tags.
If a previously saved .cdinfo file for the CD causes the problem, you could try to find that file and remove it. Or simply move the "Max" folder out of ~/Library/Application Support/ and see if that solves the problem.
I had this same problem since moving to the unstable copy of Max, because I'm using Leopard. Purging the ~/Library/Application Support/Max folder solved the problem.
I can confirm the same error, using the recent unstable (r1328) and a version I compiled myself from the current SVN (r1331). I'm running Leopard, on an Intel MBP.
Removing ~/Library/Application Support/Max/ had no effect. Disk info was retrieved with no problem via MusicBrainz.
I'd be glad to try to help out with any troubleshooting. Thanks for the great software!
Ah -- spoke too soon. Removing ~/Library/Preferences/org.sbooth.Max.plist did fix the error (in r1331). Everything is ripping/encoding just fine now. Would you like a copy of my old and busted preference plist?

I would guess that Apple changed the way NSTableView autosaves its data in Leopard. I would be curious to see both your old and new preference plists.
