eac problem

hi again,
after ripping like 50 cds i encountered the following problem: on most parts eac with lame works great, but with some cds the mp3-encoding just don't work. i don't change anything, i stick with exactly the same settings and command lines, but some cds stay wav-files. i don't get no error message, nothing. the only thing is, that the dos-box-window from the lame-encoder just flashes for a second and then eac starts ripping the next track. obviously lame could not encode properly. but i don't understand why, because on 90% of the cds it works.
any ideas?

This happened to me and the problem seemed to be caused by running too many external compression sessions (EAC Options -> Tools) and I've gone back to only 1 session. Having done this I went back and ripped just the problem tracks and it worked fine, except on one CD I had to give it a good clean as I was getting ripping errors. Try one track at a time and watch the screen and the error reports.

I seem to be having the same problem. It seems to only occur on my CD-R's. Is this expected with CD-Rs? I have tried switching the version of LAME from 3.96.1 to 3.90.3 which seemed to help on some CDs but not many. Even when I just try to compress the Wav files later, LAME runs for a second and never ends up compressing to Mp3. Any suggestions out there?

what i found out after ripping about 100 cds is that sometimes the genre-tag that you get from freedb doesn't correspond with the tags lame is expecting and lame therefore aborts the whole encoding process. it will try with every track and therefore it pops up again with the next track. as i don't know what genre-names are ok i just leave the field blank or remove any name (although "rock" always works fine), since i don't care about the genre tag anyway.

cheers , rian

The genres supported by lame are shown here. The other issue I had with EAC was when I started to follow DreamTactix's settings for EAC and I missed the instruction to set it to user defined encoder in compression options, (not lame encoder), which also caused lame to crash out without converting the files to mp3. For the complete How To go here
