Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

Have you downloaded the Monkey's Audio Codec from Codec Central ?

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

I had a similar problem to this before I went overseas when I was trying to convert my entire collection to .ape then to mp3. i'm not sure how I overcome the problem but I think I just tried again and it worked or I might have just not added the problem tracks to the CD.

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

Your trying to decode a Monkey's file, right? Can you play the .ape file in a media player? Did you try to test-convert the file? What is the bits (24 or 16) and frequenzy (44100Hz, 48000Hz, etc.) of the file?

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

Dude, you gotta tell us if you downloaded the Monkey's Audio codec or not..... That way we know if you're doing something or not...

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

When I try to test convert the file, it says
CODEC decompression error for 'F:MusicaTrack02.ape'

I converted other Monkey's files and I had no problem

How can I know the bits and frequency of the file?

(thank you LtData)

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

Right-click on the file and click Properties, then click the "ID Tag" tab. Does it tell you the bits and frequency of the file?

If you don't see the "ID Tag" tab, open up your dMC Configuration (Start --> Programs --> dbPowerAmp Music Converter --> Configuration --> dMC Configuration) and click the "Explorer ID Tag Property Pages" checkbox and click OK. Now go back to the properties of the file and click the "ID Tag" tab.

....or you can simply hover your mouse over the ape file for 1-2 seconds and the stats should pop up.

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

Install the latest dBpowerAMP Monkeys Codec.

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

i just started having this problem tonight...
I use dMC several several times everyday and have never had this problem until today. The APE file I was converting today was rather large [250mb] but even so, I've converted larger before without problems. I'm running everything up to date, but no luck. I'm still trying, so let me know if anyone has ideas

What was the error?
How many channels did the Ape file have that you were converting?
What were you converting to?
Source and destination frequency?

Re: Problems with monkey's audio files

converting from an 118 minute long, 16-bit, 2-channel, 44.1-kHz ape file made with monkey's audio version 3.97 @ Extra High compression

converting to 16-bit, 2-channel, 44.1-kHz wav
it usually takes around 2 min 10 sec to get 38% completed then gives this error:
"CODEC decompression error for 'D:\0-TRADES\BURN_AUDIO\lar at the pc.ape'"
