Can't rip "Misty"

Re: Can't rip "Misty"

I wasn't clear. I did add a network location so I was following your instructions. Still had the problem so I deleted DBPA and reloaded it. Problem solved. Somehow the program got corrupted apparently.

That's not a good idea.

On the server, share the destination folder. Then, on your windows 10 desktop pc, either Add a network location OR Map a network drive using the server share. Finally, in CD Ripper use the share name in the path.

Completely agree.

I've used both methods successfully, originally working out how to map the drive took me longer than everything related to ripping CDs, except trying to adapt my own naming string!

There are some brilliant folks on this forum who give their time helping everyone who needs it.

I enter the IP address in the Path on DBPA. After I click set it asks me to choose a file and I choose my server.

It is assigned a dynamic IP address and I do use the server's network name when asked to chose a file.

You better work with the network name of your server, especially if your DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP to your server.

It's a non consumer version that is simplified and without most bells and whistles. The actual name escapes me at the moment.

This makes no sense but I deleted the IP address of my server in DbPA and re entered it.

So, on your windows 10 desktop running dBpoweramp, exactly where are you entering the IP address?

A cleaned up version of Windows 10.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by cleaned up. Care to explain?

My desktop is a PC using Windows 10.

What OS is the server running?

Re: Can't rip "Misty"

Same IP address? If the router is using DHCP, it may be assigning new IP addresses every time the DHCP lease is up (although most routers don't do that.)

Beyond that, this "smells" of an overly aggressive firewall, probably in the PC, sometimes blocking dBpa from communicating with the server. Just so you know, I recently spent four days with three trips to Best Buy exchanging different Roku/Firestick models trying to get this W10 laptop to "cast" its screen and audio to my home theater setup, only to finally find that the laptop firewall was blocking the connection. None of their "customer support" suggested that, and I only finally caught on when studying some Internet posts which described how Miracast (the trade name for the link protocol) actually worked. Then it hit me, I turned the firewall off temporarily and it connected right away. Then another hour to figure out how to open the correct IP addresses in the firewall. Now it works fine.

And Windows/Microsoft do some problematic things when they do their occasional "feature" updates of W10. And typically you don't even know they did it until you discover that something is broken.

Re: Can't rip "Misty"

This makes no sense but I deleted the IP address of my server in DbPA and re entered it. I was able to rip Misty. I then tried another previously ripped CD and got the same error message. So I again deleted the IP address and re entered it and the CD ripped fine. This has never happened before.

Re: Can't rip "Misty"

Yes, other CDs rip fine and transfer to my server in the process. This CD, Misty by the Yamamoto Trio, does not. My desktop is a PC using Windows 10. I downloaded two files from Acoustic Sounds yesterday and both directly loaded on to my server so network access is fine.

Re: Can't rip "Misty"

There appears to be a CD like this available on EBay... Erroll Garner Plays Misty LE JAPAN MINI LP 24K GOLD CD UCCU-9539 Wyatt Ruther And yet another from various sources, also Japanese titled Misty by a jazz trio. Both "24 K Gold".

Although these "gold" CDs are supposed to be playable in any player, perhaps his CD player doesn't like them, or perhaps he got a defective one. But the Can't Open File message would indicate something else. Perhaps his naming string is reading the possibly Japanese metadata and including characters in the filename that his computer doesn't like??
