    Editor.exe error?

    Just installed dB AMP Converter and dB AMP Player on a new Dell maching running XP Home and when I attempt to add my music library to "My Music Collection", at the very end of the process XP reports an error with Editor.exe and will then only shut down the program.

    I have approximately 720 .mp3 files with the file path C:\My Music\Artist\file.mp3... I presume there is not an issue with the file path being a second layer deep? Also peculiar is the fact when I attempted this the second time (same end result), it appeared as if the program had already recorded the 720 files as it indicated it was adding files toward a grand total of 1440. Again, same "editor.exe" error message, but I think something is being corrupted as even though the songs do not appear with the "My Music Collection" window, when I attempt to add it is building on the work previously completed (or nearly completed before the error)...

    Any thoughts relative to what might be causing this? I have the program loaded on my machine (the Dell's is my wife's) and have not experienced one issue to date.

    Thanks,

    Howie

    I would say there is perhaps 1 file that is causing it to crash, perhaps a bad ID tag.

      Thanks for the input. I would also note that this error wound up completely modifying the file structure within Windows Explorer of my wife's music. In other words, new folders were created, files were moved around (in and out of folders), etc. Net result was she was forced to spend several hours completely reconfiguring her folders due to this (she has them set up by Genre/Artist/individual files). Very strange.... Obviously, she is not receptive to trying dAP again!

      FWIW, bad ID tag or not, Windows Media Player (v. 8) did not and does not have a problem with her files as it populates its Media Library.

      Thanks,

      Howie

        There is an option in dAP that will move the audio files, or arrange them - but is it off by default.

          And this setting was not modified. Again, I use the program without issue on my machine, just wanted to relate the problems experienced as I attempted to convince my wife to use!

          Thanks,
