    Re: Problem with AAC from original CDs

    It must be the program which changes the m4a to aac, why not rip to aac direct?

      That is what I started out doing and every time after about 10% I get the following error message and it crashes:
      Codec Error '
      ******* PsyTEL(R) FAST MPEG-2 AAC LC Encoder V2.0 (build Mar 4 2002) *******

      It was suggested to me above by Xoas (I think) to try doing it via .m4a and then into aac and that works a treat....half of the time. The other half it just produces an aac file that is only part of the song. I know I am probably getting really annoying now but I really would love to get this software working properly because it is exactly what I need...

        install the generic cli plugin... then use it to create a new cli for fastenc.exe

        in the commanline box put this and see if it works for you

        Code:
        -br 128 -if [InFile] -of [OutFile]
        if that doesnt work try this one..
        Code:
        fastenc -br 128 -if [InFile] -of [OutFile]
        it's been a while since I've used that encoder :rolleyes:

          Ok that is a definite advance. By doing what you have suggested I am now able to rip directly from an audio CD into a .aac file using DMC audio CD input.
          Wierdly though it is crashing when I try to use Db Power amp music convertor to do the same thing using the same command line.

          By the way, it is this command line that has at least partially worked: -br 128 -if [InFile] -of [OutFile]

          I tried the other one that you posted as well and that gave me that same error message that I have been getting all along:
          Codec Error '

          Unfortunately the other problem is with the tags - although I am now able to rip whole cds into aac files the new aac files appear to be completely devoid of tags.
          I need the files to have ID3v1 tags for them to appear in my Nokia mobile phone. In the configuration I can change the Tag Creation setting for MP3s to ID3v1 but there is no option to do this for AAC files. Is there anyway to change this?

            By the way I should have mentioned that having the read the help on the Generic CLI Encoder with regard to tags I have already tried what is suggested there i.e. added [COLOR=Red]"[IDArtist]" --tt "[IDTrack]" --tl "[IDAlbum]" --tg "[IDGenre]" --ty "[IDYear]" --tc "[IDComment]" --tn "[IDTrackNumber]"[/COLOR] to the command line

            In other words I created a new encoder using Generic CLI Encoder and entered the command line:
            [COLOR=Red]-br 128 -if [InFile] -of [OutFile] "[IDArtist]" --tt "[IDTrack]" --tl "[IDAlbum]" --tg "[IDGenre]" --ty "[IDYear]" --tc "[IDComment]" --tn "[IDTrackNumber]"[/COLOR]

            When I tried using this new encoder I got that same old error message again.
            Any suggestions??
            Thanks a lot for all of your help so far!
