    Nimbie / Batch Ripper Issues

    I'm having issues with Nimbie USB and Batch ripper. Nimbie support says it's likely a dbpoweramp issue. My first attempt with the Nimbie and USB 3.0 port was really problematic with 1/2 of the CDs being rejected for either "No CD detected" even with a CD in tray, or no metadata. All those disks were 'rippable' with standard dbpoweramp. I moved the Nimbie to another machine and USB 2.0 port. I placed a stack of 16 CDs. Two were rejected, one with a no disk (Jeff Beck Wired) detected and one for no metadata (somewhat obscure Stone Poneys CD). Beck ripped on Nimbie with third try. Batch Ripper could never get metadata on Stone Pony CD. SP Cd was easily read by another optical drive and standard DBpoweramp. A 10-15% failure rate seems pretty high for brand new, CDs that are in a database. Any pointers?

    For batch ripper to have the same metdata as CD Ripper you need to add GD3 lookups from GD3.

      Sorry I missed that. Thanks. What about it loading a CD but not being able to recognize that it loaded? That's one of the issues I had with Wired.
      Thanks again.

        Not sure the same routines are used to read cds, in both programs

          I went back and checked the GD3 checkbox in batch ripper. There's another check box below that says to use if it the other look ups fail. I checked that too. Stone ponies still fails the metadata look up.
          Additionally, Wired still shows no disc after load error.
          The weird part:
          I tricked standard DBpoweramp to use the Nimbie by manually loading the discs into the unit. Both discs are read and metadata found. It's very strange behavior since, as you said, Batch ripper uses the poweramp routines. FWIW: I'm using a USB 2.0 port. Nimbie is brand new. BR Drivers were loaded off your site, Nimbie drivers loaded from Nimbie site. OS Win11.
