False message accuraterip & log file

[JanLeysen]

Rather often, I receive the message that all tracks of a cd have been correctly ripped (thereby referring to accuraterip, also the log file says everything has been ripped correctly).
When I look at the tracks on the internal HD of my PC, everything LOOKS fine, i.e. the filename IS (e.g. 01 Dmitry Shostakovich - Piano Concerto No. 1, for piano, trumpet & strings, in C minor, Op. 35; I. Lento -) but NOT the meta-tags (but to be aware of this problem this you have to put the mouse over the file).
When I next copy the folder with the (according to DBP "correctly ripped") files to my NAS (via wired ethernet) these (in reality corrupted?) files get a name such as: 01DMIT~1.FLA
And they are NOT visible to my Sonos (and of course can NOT be played).

What is happening here?

(I have re-ripped these same CDs several times and the errors are consistent: NO error message during ripping, but absent meta-tags and invisible/not playable).

This is of course VERY annoying. I came across this problem only after having ripped about 1000 CDs, 100 of them presenting this problem for at least one of the tracks (sometimes it is only 1 or some tracks, sometimes all tracks are corrupt).

First off - AccurateRip is there to verify the audio content, it has nothing to do with ID Tags.

For one of the FLAC files, right click >> Edit ID Tag, does it show any id tags?

Re: False message accuraterip & log file

For these "corrupted" files, it is NOT possible to open them with (right-click) Edit ID-Tag.
For the "correctly ripped tracks" this is possible.

If I go with the mouse over the "corrupted" file, the Info displayed is "Type: FLAC File", whereas for the "correctly ripped tracks" the Info displayed is "Type: flac file" & you can see alle the meta-tag Info.

What is the size of the bad files? 0 bytes?

Re: False message accuraterip & log file

21.6 Mb
Same size (approximately of course) as the "good files".

Re: False message accuraterip & log file

Now, I even discovered some files which:
- "had been correctly ripped" (according to DBP
- which have all correct meta-tags
But, which, after copying to NAS loose "their filename" & meta-tags and are invisible/unstreamable by my Sonos.

> 01DMIT~1.FLA

This suggests an issue with the NAS device, it is a short file name.

Re: False message accuraterip & log file

I think the problem may be that for some files, the filename (incl path) on the NAS becomes too long.
Although there is no "error message" during copy, it seems that the filename is truncated and "the type of the file" is changed & meta-tags are eliminated (because no longer readable/streamable).

Re: False message accuraterip & log file

You can rename the file, even something like a.flac and it will not effect the ID tags
