Thread: Possible to rip a CD and generate a FLAC and a mp3 file simultaneously?

  1. #1

    Possible to rip a CD and generate a FLAC and a mp3 file simultaneously?

    I'm using JRiver as my music player and have an iPod. I'd like to rip my huge CD collection to FLAC for quality listening -AND- to mp3 (lame) to load up my iPod. Can both file codecs be generated simultaneously from a single rip pass? Like I'd create two separate libraries, one for FLAC, one for mp3, filling them both at the same time. -Or- is it best to rip my CDs to FLAC first, THEN (somehow) copy them to mp3 for my iPod on-the-fly? New to this, appreciate any suggestions=)

    Yes, set the encoder to 'Multi Encoder'

    Spoon,

    Could you please elaborate on your answer. I want to rip to FLAc and M4a but it is unclear how I tell the Ripper to select these specific encoders. Apoligies if it is obvious to more experienced users but I only download a trail version today. I like the programs but the ability to do the above is a key area to whether to purchase over EAC/MP3Tag. Thanks.

    As Spoon said: set the encoder to 'Multi Encoder' instead of 'Flac'. Within the Multi Encoder you can select and configure more than one encoder.

    I'm currently trying to accomplish a similar task (rip from cd to .wav and .mp3 simultaneously ) I made the switch to "multi encoder"and added .wav and .mp3 but I'm encountering errors similar to the following:

    Error ripping to [Multi Encoder], 'Track 1' to 'B:\New Audio\DBpower\Robert Plant\Carry Fire\01 Robert Plant - The May Queen.IGNORE'
    Wave: Error unable to open File '[origdrive]R\Robert Plant\Carry Fire\01 Robert Plant / The May Queen.wav' for writing. [clEncoder::BeginConversion]
    mp3 (Lame): Error unable to open File '[origdrive]R\Robert Plant\Carry Fire\01 Robert Plant / The May Queen.mp3' for writing. [clEncoder::BeginConversion]

    I see whats wrong (I think) :Carry Fire\01 Robert Plant "-" The May Queen. VS Carry Fire\01 Robert Plant "/" The May Queen.mp3 but I'm not sure how to fix it. By the way, I am on the trial version, I've tried various settings under output to but I'm missing something .. just seems to be a naming convention issue, all help would be greatly appreciated
    Another note, I able to rip from CD to WAV as a single task without errors

    If using CD Ripper [origdrive] does not exist, as it means the source drive of existing files.

    Hey 007james,

    I don't know which trial version of dBpa you are using, but there has been a minor error in 16.2 in combination with the multi encoder (read this thread).

    The next point is that you have to assign a destination path for each and every encoder you are using. As Spoon wrote [origdrive] isn't valid for CD Ripper.
