rev 1009 and 1024, ripping to FLAC does not work

RonaldPR · Post by **RonaldPR** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 9:30 pm

With both krmathis' rev 1009 and rev 1024 nightly builds I tried ripping several CDs with encoding to FLAC. The ripping proceeds, but the encoding does not start. The Encoder window opens and each ripped track is added to the list in the Encoder window, but the encoding does not start. "Progress" stays at 0% and "Remaining" stays at 0 seconds for all tracks.
I went back to 0.6.1, which worked fine with the same CDs.

Same here. Max had been sitting like this for about nine minutes before I stopped it:

This is using revision 1028 as well. Ripping with 0.6.1 worked fine on the exact same cd as you said. Maybe it has something to do with removing SelectEncodersSheet ?

Not to sound like a broken record, but do you have the same problem if you delete the preferences? I am unable to duplicate this behavior- FLAC ripping works fine for me.

It was the first thing I tried. Stopped all encoding, stopped all ripping, saved the document (or so I thought), quit Max, removed the CD, deleted the prefs, started Max, set my pref settings again, inserted CD, entered all tags again (were not saved), started ripping: The problem was still there.

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X 10.4.8

What are your preferences? Hopefully if I enter the same ones I will get the same behavior.

I was having the same problem with MP3's
When I turned off custom file naming the files encoded perfectly.
The only draw back is that I can't name the files the way I want.
I have a batch file re-namer that uses id3 tags so I'll be fine until this issue gets resolved.

Can you post your custom naming string?

I tried the following strings with the same result.

{albumArtist}:{albumTitle}:{albumArtist} - {trackNumber} - {trackTitle}

{albumArtist}\{albumTitle}\{albumArtist} - {trackNumber} - {trackTitle}

{albumArtist} - {trackNumber} - {trackTitle}

The problem is indeed related to custom format for output. When I unchecked the box, encoding after ripping proceeded fine.
The custom file naming I used is only little different from the default file naming:

{albumTitle}/{trackNumber} {trackTitle}
using two digit track numbers

Exactly the same format works fine in Max 0.6.1.

OK, the problem is fixed- it was truly a boneheaded mistake. Thanks for helping narrow it down!
