Hi
Been using/testing the Music Converter version 10.1 since August and the trial Plus Pack since 2 weeks ago(needed to change some tags). I have ripped over 200 cd's (still a lot to go, though), and I was very satisfied until a week ago when strange things started to happen. I was ripping a cd when I suddenly got this message:
CODEC decompression error for '\\CdRom\Track08.cda'
Unable to read CD, scratched disk?
I removed the cd, polished it, put it back in and continued to rip the remaining tracks. BUT, the process was SLOW and playing music while ripping was a new experience as the speed/beat of the track playing varied alot while ripping. The encoding was slower too, all down to X1 and max X8. It used to be up to X12-X14. And if that wasn't enough, suddenly my computer restarted in the middle of the ripping process! I tried alot of things, uninstalling the software, reinstalling etc, but to no help.
I thought, OK, maybe the CD-device is broken, and used it as an excuse to by a new DVD-Burner. And then we were back on track, ripping at even higher speed than before and playing music at the same time.
But today I was going to burn som CD's again, and the first CD started out fine, until the last track, when I got the same message as last week. I polished the cd and finished ripping the track. And then the same thing happens again:Dead slow ripping/encoding and playing music is no point as playback-speed while ripping varies too much. And using the DVD-burner device suddenly results in a restart of the computer.
Any idea what's causing this?
My computer is a P4 2,8GHZ with 1048 MB Ram and a (new) Plextor PX712A DVD-burner. When ripping, MusicConverter.exe uses about 50% of the processor-power, regardless.
