No Audio From Ripped CD FLAC File

[mcraghead]

I happened to notice that the FLAC files of a CD that I ripped have no audio. At first I thought it was the player (MusicBee), so I rebooted, but still no audio. Then I tried VLC and Windows Media Player, but neither produced audio. The FLAC files from other rips play just fine, at least the ones that I have tried. Any idea what may have caused this scenario?

Thank you.

Do the file sizes look normal or are they only a few kb. What does the ripping log say for the album. Ripped securely or accuraterip match? Maybe there was an error ripping but you didnt notice. My next step would be to rerip the cd.

garym Sorry for the delay. I thought I had already responded. Yes, the file sizes are normal. Is the log data archived? I only know how to access the data from the last rip (Menu > View Error & Information Logs).

I just noticed a slightly different situation today. I have a rip that I did this morning and just happened to start listening to it. One of the tracks in the middle of the ripped FLAC file has no audio. The file size looks correct, or at least it's not a low number. I believe it showed as an accurate rip, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I'm re-ripping the track now. It's taking a long time, but I do have Secure Rip enabled, so I guess it's to be expected.

I'm starting to wonder if any of my other rips have this issue. I guess I won't know until I play them.

I'm using Windows 10.

The re-ripped version plays. I guess I need to look at the logs from the first rip to see if there is something there.

You can have a ripping lot created as a txt file and saved to your album subfolder at the time of ripping. This way you can always review the log in the future. Somewhere in CD ripper options, under secure ripping, toward the bottom of options. I'm not at home, but it says something about saving logs. Also change it to be a COMPLETE log (one of the options is complete or some similar word)

I found it. It's in the Secure Rip Settings. I will have the logs for each rip going forward. There are three options: Simple, Detailed, and Complete. What is the difference between the Detailed and Complete options? Do you know? I wasn't able to find that.

Thx.

Complete is what i use.
