A very strange thing happened

[SnTholiday]

Hi,

I have been using dbpoweramp for a few weeks now without a problem. Last night I tried to rip the CD Hotel California and the strangest thing happened. I am using freedb to get CD info, and the first song (Hotel California) showed a
length of 355:355, or something like that. The file size was over 2GB. I thought this was just a problem with the freedb database and started the rip. Immediately Windows displayed an error message that dbpoweramp
has stopped and will need to close. I tried the rip again and the same thing
immediately happens as soon as dbpoweramp is started. Now every rip I attempt stops the application.

I am using Vista Home basic, and have the Ogg, (includes auToV encoder)
Musepack, and m4a codecs installed. I tried to eliminate the codecs by uninstalling them one by one, but this did not help. Neither did a system reboot.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Re: A very strange thing happened

What format were you attempting to rip to? What version of dMC are you using?

Re: A very strange thing happened

I am using version 12, and the format I was using is m4a (nero digital).

BTW, this happened shortly after I added the m4a codec, but I did have several successful rips using it.

Click the Options button, scroll down to the "CD ROM" section and change the "Communication" setting to "Windows Internal".
