Error: file does not exist '-' ???

[maroon2k]

I just purchased and installed Reference R14, trying to rip my first cds.

Im getting these error messages (see below) on all tracks, all cds, burst as well as secure mode...?

Doesent matter if i try to rip to flac, wav or mp3, same problem

...what is the problem? Using windows XP 32bit btw, all latest service packs and updates installed

Error ripping to FLAC, 'Track 1' to 'C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\My Music\Reel 2 Real\Move It!\Reel 2 Real - 01 - I Like to Move It.flac'

Re: Error: file does not exist '-' ???

Please enable the debug log (dBpoweramp Configuration), then start CD Ripper and rip one track, close CD ripper and post the log (which will show in notepad) here please.

Re: Error: file does not exist '-' ???

I discovered this error occurs when the "Write metadata file" plugin is added to the DSP tab (options left blank). If I remove it again the error disappears. Debug log below:

Re: Error: file does not exist '-' ???

I wonder if this isn't the same problem I am having with the MultiEncoder. I'm going to try removing the "write metadata file" DSP and will let you know what I find.

[Relayer56]

Re: Error: file does not exist '-' ???

Apparently that was the source of my problems too. Without the "Write metadata file" DSP it works fine.

Re: Error: file does not exist '-' ???

Hi

I have same problem at 2021.12.09. :D R17.4!!!!
I want to use the program in Multi Encoder mode - CUE Single File Image with Write Metadata File and Playlist Writer DSP.
When the Write Meta Data DSP add to the DSP list, I got File does not exist in C:\User\Music folder.
I delete the Write Metadata from the DSP list, the grab finished correctly... WOW.
I also have File does not exist error..., when I want to make a Rip at One.....
Other interesting thing, the M3u list is created in the User\Music folder, but I set it to the Write to Same folder as first track.

Re: Error: file does not exist '-' ???

It is not possible to use these group of encoders or dsps together.
