Clipboard

[durutti]

Recently did a conversion of 24K songs and received numerous errors on certain files. So I bought the newest release (had been on 14), and am going to try again. However, I do not know how to access Clipboard to see any errors and look into them. Was hoping someone could help me out. Oh, I use Windows 8. Thanks in advance.

If you click 'Copy to Clipboard', you can then open any program, such as notepad, and select Edit >> Paste (or right click in text area and paste).

Well, that was easy. So I installed the newest edition and reran my batch conversion, and I think I may have gotten even more errors. Certainly in the hundreds, so there has to be something systemic going on I would think. I will just provide some information, and see if anyone has any clues.

The first error I have is this, and it resembles many of the ones I have.

"Error converting to mp3 (Lame), '\\DISKSTATION\Music-Flac\dbpoweramp\ABBA\Gold; Greatest Hits\07 ABBA - I Have a Dream.flac' to '\\DISKSTATION\mp3 for ipod\07 ABBA - I Have a Dream.mp3'
Unable to read from File '\\DISKSTATION\Music-Flac\dbpoweramp\ABBA\Gold; Greatest Hits\07 ABBA - I Have a Dream.flac'"

I listened to the flac version with Sonos, and it sounds fine. So I went to the log of when I ripped the CD, and here is the entry:

The flac files are on a Synology NAS 713+, and the target folder is also on the NAS. The CDs were ripped with a Lenovo Thinkpad T series, and I remember I looked up the CD drive and it was one of the best ones for that time. Sorry for lots of information, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Also, don't make fun of the track. It is the only ABBA cd I have, and the next error I have is from Zoviet France. Oh, and thanks Spoon for the previous reply.

Try copying the file to the local computer, then convert. It could be a permissions issue.

How would that explain the other tracks that converted ok? Also, just checked, and it is 12000 did not convert. That's half. Christ.

[Spoon]

It is the diskstation which is stopping access to those files.

[durutti]

Sorry for the delay. So I copied the flac files from the NAS in batches, loaded them, and then converted. Far fewer errors, perhaps 150. That's awesome, but I would like to understand the reason behind the others. So here is one that looks similar:

Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'E:\dbpoweramp\Bob Marley\Legend; The Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers\03 Bob Marley & The Wailers - Could You Be Loved.flac' to 'C:\mp3\03 Bob Marley & The Wailers - Could You Be Loved.mp3'
md5 did not match decoded data, file is corrupt.

I see no difference btw that and the other files.Here is another one, again only one on the album.

Could it be just a bunch of bad sectors on the HD? If so, I got some reripping to do, but not too bad.

[Spoon]

FLAC has an inbuilt checksum, it allows the data being decoded to be compared to the data which was encoded, so yes, the files are corrupted.
