    Software not working properly...

    Hello and thanks in advance for your help...
    Im a licensed user of dbpoweramp and Ive been using it for over a year, has been working perfectly until this day...
    CD Ripper simply is not ripping anymore... results in error or if it was able to read it and rip it, I can't find the track in my HD...
    MSG says: UNABLE TO CREATE OUTPUT FOLDER

    Please FIX IT!!!

    And no, is not my driver.. I tried a couple already and same error...

    Which platform is dBpoweramp running on? Window or OS X?

    On the error page is a 'Copy to Clipboard' button, click this button and paste the full error message here so we can examine.

    Those errors about renaming must be because apparently software ripped them before but the folder was never created...
    THANKS~

    Re: Software not working properly...

    Can you create the folder '/Volumes/DJ-CARMONA :: 1T-SSD/* MASTER - CDS/Conjunto Jaguey/Colombia y Quisqueya Se Unen/' by hand?

    If you can't create the folder by hand, it is no surprise that dBpa can't create the folder too. I guess (I'm no apple guy) that the "*" in the path is a problem.

    Re: Software not working properly...

    I don't think * is a problem - even though using it sounds like asking for trouble if you ever share files with Windows machines.

    The colon - ":" - is a very special character on mac OS. It is actually legal under the hood, but Finder presents it as a forward slash - "/" - and won't let you enter it as ":". So every time you see a file or folder with a slash in its name, the actual character in the file system is ":" - it's just Finder presenting it as a slash.
    We could probably make dBpoweramp also show colons as slashes, but this would probably create more issues than it would fix, so I'm not changing this anytime soon.

    Anyway, I presume that all of these oddities were already present before when ripping did not fail so I don't think they are a factor, somehow this one CD is special but I'm having hard time understanding why.

    Just in case, I've been trying to recreate this issue with varying combinations of exotic characters but with no luck.

    What exact kind of drive ( "DJ-CARMONA // 1T-SSD" in your system ) are you ripping to? External or internal? How is it formatted ("Format: ..." in Disk Utility) ?

    What exact version of dBpoweramp are you using? R15.8 ? R16.1 ? R16.2 beta?

    Follow up-

    Posted a new beta version: R16.2 beta 7
    https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthr...R16-2-beta-Mac

    Made this exact issue give more verbose log output (error code clarifying how it failed to create the folder).

    If you can retrigger this bug with the new beta version, please use "save configuration snapshot" feature from dBpoweramp Configuration / Converter tab and email the snapshot file to peter@dbpoweramp.com for analysis.

    Thanks.
