ripping error every single time using dbpoweramp batch ripper...help, please!

[drewedwards]

hi. i have a problem of not being able to rip cds with my dbpoweramp batch ripper software.

i am using a dedicated windows 7 computer (dell inspiron laptop), an acronova nimbie usb plus disc autoloader, and the dbpoweramp batch ripper (which i purchased) for ripping my large cd collection. i connected everything, installed/updated all drivers (currently batch ripper r3 and nimbie batch ripper driver v6), and it worked fine the first time i used it.

then i had to disconnect it all to move it to another room in my home, and now i cannot rip a single cd; every single time i get an error message simply saying "ripping error".

step by step, it shows: "loading the cd", then "post-load waiting for cd", then "retrieving meta data", then "ripping track 1 of 10" [for example], but then when the ripping gets to the last (or sometimes next to last) song, the "ripping error" message appears and the cd is rejected by the nimbie.

i have reinstalled dbpoweramp and the drivers, made sure all software (incl the computer operating system) is up to date, and confirmed that i have tons of memory available. but i can't get it to work.

any suggestions?

thanks a million!

In batch ripper on the disc after ripping right click on the title >> Show Error and Information

what errors are shown?

BY THE WAY: i failed to mention that i am trying to rip all this music to an external hard drive that has been newly formatted. i only mention this because i failed to mention that detail in my original description of the set-up.

thanks.

Can you navigate and write to the Z: drive, in Windows File Explorer?

Try to rip directly to the final file names (see CD Ripper options).

Yes check drive Z exists and you can create files on it.

Thanks Dat Ei. I did what you suggested, and on ripping the first disc with this setting, it got stuck on song number 13 of 18 for over 10 minutes...

Rip to drive C

if ripping to a network, it is this which is failing.
