Those errors about renaming must be because apparently software ripped them before but the folder was never created...
THANKS~

Re: Software not working properly...

Can you create the folder '/Volumes/DJ-CARMONA :: 1T-SSD/* MASTER - CDS/Conjunto Jaguey/Colombia y Quisqueya Se Unen/' by hand?

But, forgot to mention that I was able to rip only one CD before all this trouble, I mean with exactly same version of the software... thats why it's so confusing, it worked just once and after that it keeps reading "error".

Actually my HD is not set up with :: but // -----I have no idea why the software reads it like ::

Re: Software not working properly...

If you can't create the folder by hand, it is no surprise that dBpa can't create the folder too. I guess (I'm no apple guy) that the "*" in the path is a problem.

OK an update...

I tried to manually set the path using // and software sends a message "Please Select a Valid Output Folder" that means that I need to click Set and choose another path which I did, only this time Im sending it directly to my Desktop, no funny characters and is working finally... although then I need to transfer from there to my HD... not hard really to do but it should software should have not this problem and work as before with same HD :/ thanks a lot for your help and I hope theres in the future something that could fix this little issue... thanks again!

Re: Software not working properly...

I don't think * is a problem - even though using it sounds like asking for trouble if you ever share files with Windows machines.

The colon - ":" - is a very special character on mac OS. It is actually legal under the hood, but Finder presents it as a forward slash - "/" - and won't let you enter it as ":". So every time you see a file or folder with a slash in its name, the actual character in the file system is ":" - it's just Finder presenting it as a slash.
We could probably make dBpoweramp also show colons as slashes, but this would probably create more issues than it would fix, so I'm not changing this anytime soon.

Anyway, I presume that all of these oddities were already present before when ripping did not fail so I don't think they are a factor, somehow this one CD is special but I'm having hard time understanding why.

Just in case, I've been trying to recreate this issue with varying combinations of exotic characters but with no luck.

What exact kind of drive ( "DJ-CARMONA // 1T-SSD" in your system ) are you ripping to? External or internal? How is it formatted ("Format: ..." in Disk Utility) ?

What exact version of dBpoweramp are you using? R15.8 ? R16.1 ? R16.2 beta?

Re: Software not working properly...

Follow up-

Posted a new beta version: R16.2 beta 7

https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?39879-dBpoweramp-R16-2-beta-Mac

Made this exact issue give more verbose log output (error code clarifying how it failed to create the folder).

If you can retrigger this bug with the new beta version, please use "save configuration snapshot" feature from dBpoweramp Configuration / Converter tab and email the snapshot file to peter@dbpoweramp.com for analysis.

Thanks.
