Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

Re: Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

Thanks garym and mville for the suggestion written below here :
/but can you try ripping on a different drive to see if results are the same. /

I borrowed a CD from the library and I rip only track 1 on the same DVD-ROM and it's accurate.
I guess that there's problem with the CD.

Yep, mystery solved. But do keep in mind that with some ripping errors such as this, they may be so minor that they are not audible. That is a few bad frames that are tiny fractions of a second. One would have to listen to the track to know if the problem is audible.

It's so good to know they're inaudible.
Thanks again.

Thanks again.

I said They *can* be inaudible. Or one can have significant errors that ARE audible (clicks, pops, stutters, etc)

OIC. thank you garym.

I've got another small question I don't know whether I should create a new thread.

The CD Ripper shows at the bottom of the Rip Status that all the tracks are /not in AccurateRip/ (sorry for forgotten to copy the screen)
for the CD it's going to rip.

After ripping there's no error but the xAR shown in the Rip Status are all transparent.

Below here I've enclosed the screen after the ripping :



Is it because the information of the CD is not in the database ?

Re: Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

By the way, when I try to rip the second (2/2) of the set, all the titles of the tracks are not shown.

After I changed the Album from
"Bach: Sonatas for Violin & Harpsichord" to
"Bach: Sonatas for Violin & Harpsichord BWV 1014 - 1019 Disc 2",

all the titles of the tracks appear,

and the Album is changed to :

"Bach: Sonatas for Violin & Harpsichord, BWV 1014-1019; Sonatas for Viola da Gamba & Harpsichord, BWV 1027-1029, Disc 2"

Correct.

No titles were shown in CD Ripper?

Re: Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

thanks Spoon.

All the titles are shown.

correct. because CD not in AR. So the outcome you get (all secure) is good.

classical metadata is often a challenge for the database sources. Also, don't forget that you can click on the meta button (or it may be the dropdown arrow next to metabutton) and have PerfectMeta show you all the options found in the metadata databases.

Re: Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

thanks garym for the information.
I don't know how to use the options when I press the dropdown arrow next to metabutton.

thanks garym for the information.

click on the arrow on right of "meta" button. Then select "review PerfectMeta options". Or you can simply select "ALT M". Then you'll see the metadata provided by various databases (if it exists). If one is "better" then select that listing by selecting the button at top of column (e.g. AMG). Or on this screen on the far left, you can manually enter info.). See picture:

Thanks garym.
It works.

I try to rip a CD but no titles shown :



When I click review meta data, no option is shown :



It's ok for me not to rip this CD.

Please would you tell me what the problem is ?

[garym]

Re: Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

there is no problem. the existing databases simply don't contain metadata for this CD. So you can manually enter your own tag data and then rip the CD. As I mentioned, classical music CDs are typically the most troublesome in terms of finding good metadata (or in your case, any metadata) from the various databases.

Thanks garym for the explanation.

Re: Rip Status = x AR (34) V secure

I did not check my entry of Album Artist, to say the least, when I ripped.
Is it possible to check it now and make correstions if I want ?
