Hello, I have purchased and installed the latest dbpoweramp and I'm using it to rip some CD's (The Old Testament). All day yesterday it was working fine. I have 49 CD's to rip, and I'm on 45. On this 45th CD when I load the new CD into the drive, the Audio CD Input program shows me either one of two things. It either shows the message "Insert Audio CD..", after I've already inserted it, or it shows only one (1) track with a weird track name (Notti Senza Cuore_ragazzo Dell'europa_contaminata_amandoti_profumo_i Maschi_aria_una Luce_california_latin Lover_meravigliosa Creatura_amore Cannibale_oh Marinaio). At first look, someone might want to blame freedb, but keep reading.
If I goto "My Computer" (Windows 2000 Server), and "Explore" this CD/DVD drive, it shows me all of the individual files/tracks (1-14). Also, if I open my winamp and try to play any of the 14 tracks, they all play fine. Now on some of the previous CD's I've ripped, the display area in the "Audio CD Input" program shows the plain name of "Track 1 thru Track 14" for a second or two and then updates the screen with the freedb results which was the correct process and outcome.
This time, the one track that shows up doesn't seem to contact freedb before showing the false track name, it comes up with the bad track name way to quickly, which would indicate it's being stored somewhere locally. However I don't have a local db setup. I've looked for the local db file and it isn't on my computer, and I have rebooted my machine without any change in this problem. And I have also used "Etherreal" to sniff for any traffic going to freedb and there is "NONE". It doesn't even try to ask freedb, it just throws out that single track and back track name. Also remember that the first 44 worked fine, and I didn't all of a sudden change my network, or add proxy's or add firewalls, etc. This is all on the same machine, same network, same firewalls, etc.
And obviously, 1 track is not enough tracks, as there should be 14 found. So it's not reading my CD/DVD drive properly. It has been, and my OS is still reading the drive correctly and playing it correctly from winamp, so this all points to the Audio CD Input program as the problem. So I re-installed the whole dbpoweramp program again and it still does not work. It keep showing me this one track that looks like a spanish or greek opera name.
And another few things to consider. If/when I click on the "freedb" icon, it does go to freedb and retrieves a list of CD titles. There are 13, and all of the titles are wrong. So it is my impression that the program is not reading the CD correctly and/or whatever tells freedb what CD I have, is not working. I believe this to be true because I took another CD that I previously ripped and it was able to retrieve the track names properly (disk 43), and place it into the CD/DVD drive, and the "Audio CD Input" program shows me the exact same bad/wrong (1 only) title as disk 44 is showing me.
Anyone seen this, or have any ideas on how to fix/resolve this?
Thanks
John
