I've got a few things I ran into using dMC (r10beta7) Audio CD Input configuration options and AccurateRip. And I've already looked through the FAQs and used search to find answers, which I have for some things...here's what I have outstanding...
First, I configured AccurateRip by trying CDs from the A/R key disc database, and happened upon the right pressings of Avril Lavigne's "Let Go" and The Beatles "White Album, Disc 2". +116 read offset correction for my drive (same as EAC reported)...everything's dandy.
Then, (here's where I screwed everything up) I tried to "reset" AccurateRip because I didn't think my results were actually being submitted (because a file on my desktop that was created to submit results was a *.bin file, and I didn't know what to do with it...XP Home didn't want to run it). I'm really hoping to help out with adding to the A/R database, so I wanted to be sure the submission part worked.
** On a side note, I really like the way AccurateRip automatically checks against the A/R database for reference discs. It beats EAC's procedure of having to manually look at pressing ID's on each disc, NONE of which matched on mine even though I had at least 20 or so matching titles, and ending up simply trying each one anyway until I got lucky. **
--1-- After I reset AccurateRip, I rebooted (just to be safe), started dMC Audio CD Input, and inserted Avril Lavigne's "Let Go", since I *knew* that it was a valid key disc of the right pressing. And nothing happened. I tried re-inserting it several times...freedb automatically did its thing each time, but no message from AccurateRip saying it recognizes the disc. So I try the "White Album, Disc 2" again, and it knows that one, so it determines an offset, asks for a second key disc. Dido "No Angel" ends up making it happy with a matching offset result, so I'm back in business. Just wondering what happened with Avril Lavigne's album. Does the AccurateRip key CD database change dynamically, and some previously confirmed key discs are removed for some reason?
--2-- A weird thing on the Audio CD Input options window...the check boxes are "offset". When you click on one, it toggles the box above it. To change an option, oddly enough, you have to move down maybe an inch on the screen and left-click to change the box an inch above. I can't toggle "Slow Ripping" at all, because I'd have to click over the OK button, which ends up closing the window instead :(
--3-- I'm getting an error at the very end of every CD rip, including the test conversion with the second key CD (as requested by AccurateRip). I've tried four or five discs so far, with the following info popping up in an error dialog:
AppName: musicconverter.exe
AppVer: 4.1.0.0
ModName: cda.dll
ModVer 4.0.2.1
Offset: 000e6fb
When I clicked on the error details button, it brought up a window with practically hundreds of pages of error info, with most of it being a hex map of perhaps the whole executable(?). If that info is needed, I'm sure I can reproduce it and send it in.
--4-- After I closed the error window, my Accurate Rip results dialog says that on Dido's "No Angel" rip (test conversion actually) tracks 1 through 6 and 8 through 11 were accurately ripped, but that track 7 is not present in the database :confused: and track 12 was cancelled by the user (the one I got the previously discussed error on).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Most or all of these items are probably because of some things I've set improperly or overlooked...wouldn't be the first time :rolleyes:
