Hi all you ripping good friends ;D . I seem to have a problem with dbPowerAmp in that, since I've dowloaded a fresh installation (due to a hard drive swap) it refuses point blank to rip anything. It recognises the disk, puts up all the track names and finds the cover art but on pressing the ' Rip' button it always reports 'Error X' for every track. Anybody any ideas what I'm doing wrong? TIA, Dave.

Dave Is there a calibration for the cdrom the this version?
Is it error X ? or is there a number or name
Where are you saying the file too... might be a permissions thing

Hmmm Just found this forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=9122If win7 prompted for a password to install the dbpoweramp then when you start the program under your normal account no problem. But when dbpoweramp tries to save the file in the default local, it doesn't have permission. Therefore change the local of where you save the file. Allan

Chong, EAC is slow, a PITA because it's slow, and is often no better in that I sometimes get the same error report. Pagan, If I understand you correctly, my problem is different in that as soon as it starts the Rip process each track quickly reports, 'Error X'. But I will look into the permission thing - my Win7 installation does not require any password, nor does dbPowerAmp so I'm not sure how that can be a problem. I'll also change the my default (usual) storage location to see if that makes any difference. Meanwhile thanks both for your interest.

Allan, I am beginning to think that computers are as daft as I am . I think you may have alluded to a possible reason for the problem in your post above. I had asked dbPowerAmp to store the ripped file to folder J:/Temp - unfortunately I had forgotten that there was no such folder, the folder made for this purpose was J:/TempMusic. It seems that was enough for the programme to refuse to rip and report 'Error X'. Tonight I have corrected the mistake and a CD which would not rip yesterday has ripped fine tonight - dohhh, my head hurts . Dave.

Btw, EAC is slow is because it reads the pits a few times to give you the best error free rip. That's why it's the best around. Anything fast means more error prone. Depending on how you set it, it can even be slower than what you are experiencing. But then that will be the ultimate in terms of error free read and rip to the detriment of your ripper ROM.

Chong It may surprise you, but sometimes with a disc that EAC is having problems with, and going down to as low as 1/10th normal speed, it may pay to get out of Secure Mode and rip at a speed that is a bit faster (but not at dBpoweramp speeds) and more constant , and put up with a few minor read errors. It can sound better, even though EAC may end up with the correct check sums eventually in Secure Mode. System noise /Jitter due to intensive processing etc ? Alex

It's a good idea to specify a folder somwhere, that way you can delete old stuff every now and then. windows doesn't reliably clean out the temp folder, just keeps updating it till windose crashes. computers are not smart devices.

Pagan, J is an internal HDD. My PC has 4 internal drive bays, all of which are occupied, plus a Blu-Ray drive. Some of the HDDs have been partitioned to give seperate drive letters, so you soon get up to J . Cheers, Dave.

I don't do the ultimate rip and put the EAC at medium error recovery quality. I worry for the ROM going hot and gaga at the high option.

Chong EAC has an automatic cool down option that can be used. In EXTRACTION you can set the number of minutes to cool down for after a predetermined time, before it resumes ripping where it left off.Mine is presently set for 15 minutes cooling down after 60 minutes of ripping. Alex

Thanks Alex, I miss that. I have set mine now for 10 minutes cool down after 30 mins of rip. Now I can set error recovery to high. That's what great forums are!
