dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

When you removed the disc it might have jumped to the 2nd drive with the disc present. When ripping the drive should remain fixed.

I don't think this is what happened. The other thing I forgot to mention is that I noticed even after ejecting the disc the meta-data remained on the screen. I restarted the ripper, and everything was clean.

Will the full 13.1 feature any changes in the implementation LAME 3.98 or will it be the same as in the 13.1 BETA?

Same

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Win XP Pro SP3
13.1
Flac 1.2.1b

I was ripping using the CD Ripper (not batch) last night when both drives slowed to a crawl. I finally gave up on the rips, took the discs out, inspected one and put it back in. I noticed that the same CD popped up for both instances of the ripper. This made me notice that both were now pointing to the same drive. They had been pointing to 2 separate drives, and somewhere in the middle of the rip they both started pointing to the same drive and trying to rip the same disc. Of course one still had the meta-data and track lengths for the other disc. On re-inserting the 2 discs and changing the second instance back to the correct drive they both ripped accurately without any problems.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Thanks to everyone for your help so far.

My mistake, I missed that in the changelog and, as I don't convert over the network, didn't notice that. So you are using the Batch Converter to select these files, or are you trying to right-click and "Convert To"?

I've tried it both ways and neither works.

If I use the Batch Converter, I can browse to the folder in question, but it can't find any audio files inside. The file list is completely empty.

If I use the Convert To menu item, the files show up in dMC's list, but when I click the convert button it fails, and I get an error log like this:

What is creating the share? (on which device) which Windows version do you have?

I'm running dBpoweramp from my desktop (LAN name: norm), which is running Windows XP Professional. The server where my music files reside (LAN name: zach) is running Ubuntu Hardy with Samba 3.0.28a.

I initially thought that Samba might be causing the problem, but I can also reproduce this bug if I copy the files to an XP Pro machine and share them from there.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

dMC has never worked properly with network drives unless you map them as a local drive. If you map it as a local drive, does it work better.

Yeah, it seems to work if I map it as a drive. Still, I don't think I should have to do that. Network share support is touted as a new feature in the R13 changelog for the Batch Converter, and it works perfectly for every album except the one that happens to have an "ē" character in its network path.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Hi Spoon. I think I've found a bug in R13.1. dBpoweramp doesn't work with files on a network share if the path name contains certain accented characters, like "ē" (U+0113).

As an example, there's an album on my file server that I can access from my desktop at the path "\\Zach\music\Lossless\Dogs of Peace\{spēak}". If I open that folder in Windows Explorer, the path displays properly and I can access the FLAC files it contains. dBpoweramp, on the other hand, cannot. If open Explorer's properties window for one of the files, the Audio Properties and ID-Tag tabs are displayed, but all the fields are completely blank. If I try to convert them to another format, I get an "error opening file" message. Finally, if I select the folder in the Batch Converter, I don't get any errors, but it shows up empty.

There are two other things I've noticed about this. First, this problem occurs with some paths containing accented characters, but not with others. I can access files at "\\Zach\music\Lossless\Béla Fleck & the Flecktones\The Hidden Land" just fine, for example. (Could this be because "é" is contained in the Windows-1252 character set but "ē" is not?) Second, this problem only occurs when the files are stored on the network. If I copy the "{spēak}" folder to my desktop, everything works perfectly.

Auto is best for mp3.
R13.1 will be about 4-8 weeks

C2 over firewire: soon

Thanks for the quick response.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

spoon, will we see any updates on the way firewire is handled with respect to possible better C2 support in 13.1? Now that the composermax is functional this would be HUGE!

Hi spoon. How's the improved support for C2 over firewire (and perhaps certain previously difficult SATA and/or USB interfaces) going?

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

I've got two questions here:

1.) Since I have no idea what is Join Stereo or Dual Channel when converting my FLAC files to MP3 with LAME 3.98, should I just leave it as Auto?

2.) When will dBpoweramp 13.1 full (not BETA) will be available for download?

Thanks in advance.
