Problem with asset via crossover mac

Re: Problem with asset via crossover mac

I downloaded the trial of your converter, which I'll try running via CrossOver Mac. Here is what one of the Hi Rez files shows for its Tags. Oops: this is the flac version; the AIFF has no tags!! nuts. (i had converted to AIFF simply to get the album art corrected and the PS Audio does not like Hi Rez flacs as much as it likes AIFF.)

So I need to return to all flacs. Thanks!

dBpoweramp will convert FLAC >> AIFF and retain the tags.

Re: Problem with asset via crossover mac

I've got Asset recognizing my FLAC files (I used MP3tag to fix all tags; that seemed to be the issue). All files are FLAC. Then I added some albums and started getting problems. Now Asset has 0 files...

For the past couple of days, I've tried various things, such as 'Restart Asset', 'Refresh All', 'Detecting Changes', and even re-stalling Asset (all under CrossOver Mac). Restart just leaves Asset with a status of 'Not running' for hours. A bit frustrating.

Nothing helps. Now it just sits there with 0 files, and reads nothing. I've left it running for 2 days overnight. Still 0 the next morning. (My test comparison is J River, which sees the music server---but has problems with drop out during 176k and 192k play; Asset does not seem to have the drop outs.)

One thing I don't understand is should Asset Config window be visible? I've tried leaving it open, clicking on 'Ok' and it seems not to matter. (BTW, I've tried both Local Account and Service---no difference there too.)

The other thing I don't understand is, is Asset supposed to actually start doing something after clicking on the 'Detecting Changes' or 'Refresh All' aside from the OK box that pops up? I sorta expected after clicking on these buttons for Asset to start adding albums...

Try as a service, then restart you computer.

Thanks, that worked!

Re-starting CrossOver Mac allowed all to be updated. All seems to be working well now. I'm impressed how well everything works. Since Asset seems to play the 24/192k files without dropouts, unlike other servers, now I'll look at getting the RipNAS.

Thanks again.
