Its finally out! After many months of in-between working, MAREO 3.4 is out. The most important feature, is that it has been simplified a lot. There are much less parameters to pass to it now, and much more friendly INI file.
* rethought the MAREO way of working, resulted in a better/easier MAREO.
* many of the command line parameters are now on the INI file.
* possibility of running "album mode" encoders.
* support for Nero Digital encoder.
* padding option (1 -> 01)

Is there spanish (Argentinian ) version?
well, i'm actually from argentina ... but for good or bath, english is the worlds language (speranto never really catched up) ...
Señor Arce:
Speaking of English as the language of the world, just wanted to let you know that your Google link to "hate Microsoft" goes to google.com.ar and for some strange reason it has a bunch of "&"s attached to it as well. I first I thought it was one of those tricks that crash IE, but the link works here with IE6.
No problem with english. The reason I asked for spanish version is that I speak better spanish than english. But English version is more than `good`.

thanks for the catch, fixed.
Yikes, my hours-long report has gone to waste in the old MAREO thread... -sigh-
~ohWell,timeForANewOne...
i was just looking at it ... maybe you can check the new config now ... documentation would probably have to be fixed, yes ... but for now the oficial one is the web page.
Is it just me or I can't download mareo.zip file from the site, kwanbis...?
Clicked the link and tried to 'Save Link As...' to no avail...
Er...help...?
i re-uploaded as a RAR. reload the page.
Looks like kwanbis has switched from zip to rar.
The menu link works, the inline link doesn't. I downloaded a zip version earlier.
you are right, i only updated the top menu. now its fixed
CDEX :
Don't delete ripped WAV file after coversion: unchecked
EAC Setup Example : Delete WAV after compression: unchecked
Isn't there a problem in the configuration info, here?
no, cause the default INI of MAREO is:
; ----------------
; DOES MAREO DELETES THE WAV FILE AFTER ENCODING (TRUE) OR THE CD RIPPER DOES (FALSE)?
; ----------------
DeleteWavFile = TRUE
if you want the ripper to delete the wav file, set the ini to FALSE, and DO check the EAC/CDex options.
What I meant was, CDEX's option (on your site) says : CHECK to NOT delete file.
and you leave it unchecked. Therefore it deletes.

I know this is a really dumb question, and I really hate to ask, but I'm new at this stuff & I've looked for an answer (or examples, so I could try to figure it out myself) until I'm almost blind.
I don't understand the Placeholder/variable "@1@ .. @nn@ User Defineable". I'm using EAC, MAREO, FLAC, LAME, & iTunesEncode to transfer my CDs to my hard drive. Can someone tell me how to setup each program to use a specific user defined variable and maybe give me examples of how to add it in the MARIO.ini file for these programs and also EAC?
Thanks so much for any help!

Right, it works now.
Thanks for fixing the link. =)
Btw, I'll put here what I've wrote over in the old 2.x discussion thread.
Basically suggestions for playlist creation and album gaining.
Hold your breath...
=================================================
Playlist creation is a good idea, and I think it's not too hard to implement either.
M3U playlist is basically a text file with filenames in it, with one filename per line.
Changes in mareo.ini to accomodate playlist creation should be :
- A new entry called 'PLAYLIST'.
Its value should be 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'. - A new entry to specify the name of the playlist, such as 'PLAYLISTNAME'.
Ignored when 'PLAYLIST' is set to 'FALSE' or there's no 'PLAYLIST' entry specified. - Or, the playlist name can be specified along with 'PLAYLIST'.
For an example --> [span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%']PLAYLIST = TRUE "@artist@ - @album@.m3u"[/span] - A new entry called 'TRACKNUM', which its value is @tracknum@, which is derived from %x (in EAC's case; don't know about CDex) like koend pointed out.
As for MAREO itself, its behaviour should (at the least) be like this :
- Check if the directory in the 'FULLNAME' entry has a playlist file of the same name.
- When there's none, create a new M3U file when MAREO's counter reaches @tracknum@.
Of course, MAREO should scan the directory for files and include them to the playlist file. - When there exist a playlist of the same name, just replace the old one.
That's basically it.
Now, regarding album gain, it's not that hard I guess (with EAC at least).
Well, like koend pointed out, %x should make EAC passes the total track number of a given album (CD).
I think you should use that instead of requiring users to input the track number manually.
After that, the filename values for any RG apps should be from scanning the directory in the specified 'FULLNAME' entry.
Or if there's an M3U file, filenames for the RG app can be derived from that.
Thus I propose this new mareo.ini structure :
FULLNAME = D:\My Music\MP3\@artist@ - @album@\@track@ - @title@.mp3
ENCODER = C:\encoders\lame.exe
PARAMETERS = -V 2 --vbr-new -Y --ignore-tag-errors --ta "@artist@" --tl "@album@" --tt "@title@" --tn "@track@" --ty @year@ --tg "@genre@" "@source@" "@dest@"
TRACKNUM = @tracknum@
PLAYLIST = TRUE "@album@ - @artist@.m3u"
POSTPROCESS = TRUE ALBUM
POSTPROCESSOR = C:\encoders\mp3gain.exe
POSTPARAMETERS = /a /k /p @filelist@
A few notes for the proposed structure :
- 'POSTPROCESS' value could be 'TRUE ALBUM', 'TRUE TRACK', or 'FALSE'.
'TRUE ALBUM' is when you want to do album gain.
'TRUE TRACK' is when you want to do track gain.
'FALSE' should make MAREO ignores 'POSTPROCESSOR' and 'POSTPARAMETERS'.
Please note that when set to 'TRUE ALBUM', MAREO should not do a post-processing until the counter reaches @tracknum@. - @filelist@ in 'POSTPARAMETERS' is derived either from scanning the directory in 'FULLNAME' or from an existing (if there's any; MAREO should check this) playlist file which name is like the value in the 'PLAYLIST' entry.
Also, every filename in the generated @filelist@ should be surrounded with double quotes. - It'd be better if MAREO, in scanning a directory, pay attention to file extension and include only those files which has the same extension as what's in the 'FULLNAME' entry for playlist creation and @filelist@ generation when a valid playlist doesn't exist.
- @filelist@ should be used only when 'POSTPROCESS' is set to 'TRUE ALBUM', and for 'TRUE TRACK' users should use "@finalfullname@" (w/ double quotes).
Of course, if possible, MAREO should attempt to use @filelist@ when the user sets 'POSTPROCESS' to 'TRUE ALBUM' but 'POSTPARAMETERS' contains "@finalfullname@", and vice versa. - Please note that "@finalfullname@" has to use double quotes and @filelist@ doesn't need to, since @filelist@ should already contain a list of double quoted filenames.
Or you could make @finalfullname@ to include double quotes by default.
That's all I can think of right now.

Do with the default parameters in EAC (mareo.ini %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m") and you're good to go.
What do you intend to do using user defined variables?
Hello,
For some reason I cannot connect to this link. I have actually been having this problem for months. Is there some reason I cannot get to Mareo's website?

if you need them, you probably figure them out ... the ide is that besides the normal variables, you could pass mareo more vars, like
mareo xxx xxx xxx xxx userdef1 userdef2
and then use them on the ini file, like if they where normal ones by calling them by name: @1@ or @2@

Thanks for asking, however I don't understand what "user defined variables" are and what they are used for. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about MAREO's options before I start transferring all of my CDs. If I don't understand what something is, I have no way of knowing if it's an option that I could use or not. I'm really sorry to be such a pain, but when I don't understand something, it drives me nuts. My mother always told me that "If something is worth doing at all, it's worth doing right" ... and I can't do it right if I don't understand it. The reason I asked for some examples, is because it's much easier for me to grasp the concept of what someone is trying to tell me if I can "see" what they are talking about.
Appreciate your taking the time to ask me my intentions.
Sorry, I should probably have been more specific.
When I put http://www.webearce.com.ar/ (http://www.webearce.com.ar/) into any web browser, whether it by in IE or firefox on my desktop or laptop, or put it into links on my linux server, I get a host not found error. Could I perhaps get an IP address to get to the address that way? It almost seems as if my DNS servers (verizons) cannot resolve the name for some reason. So maybe an actual IP address might solve the problem.

suppose you want to add a comment with the date to each encoded file, (i'm now thinking of adding a @date@ and @time@ vars, but lets continue as now, when they don't exist). In lame, that is done by adding: --tc <comment> so, how do i do it without editing the ini files?
PARAMETERS = -V5 --vbr-new --ignore-tag-errors --ta "@artist@" --tl "@album@"
--tt "@title@" --tn "@track@" --ty "@year@" --tg "@genre@" --tc "@1@" "@source@" "@dest@"
then, at eac's Compression options dialog box, under the External Compression tab, i configure the Additional command line options as:
mareo.ini %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m" 2006-03-04
then, 2006-03-04 is replaced whenever it says @1@.
but, believe me 99.99% of the time, people don't use them. I don't use them.

I have all encoders and tools in a directory listed in the PATH on XP.
If I open a command window and type lame, for example, I get LAME
Using ENCODER = lame.exe in the ini I get only an error
NOT FOUND: lame.exe ... **ERROR**
EXECUTION **ERROR**
Same for mac, wvpack, etc.
Have you tried restarting the computer and try again after you insert the new PATH values?
Well, shouldn't be like that, but who knows...it's Windows we're talking about.
After copying the encoders to the MAREO directory I can execute.
I find that my mp3gain process is never run, no error, just nothing fires at all.
Also, if the selection name has an '/' in it, the resulting directory structure is changed. MAREO should look for such characters and subsititute and underscore or blank for them.

you should post the relevant part of your INI file, and your LOG file.
Thanks for the "user variable" lesson Kwanbis, it cleared it up for me. You don't know how much it means to us "newbies" that you guys take the time to explain even the simple stuff to us ... and I know that the others appreciate it just as much as I do.
my pleasure. another example i could add is, for example, in EAC, %x means last album track number. it is currently unsupported in MAREO, but if you pass it as the 10th parameter as here:
mareo.ini %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m" %x
you can then use the value in the hole INI file, as @1@
this is another example.
Same for some rippers, like dbpoweramp, that support other non-standard (for mareo) parameters, like dbpoweramp, that supports "comments" passing, you could again pass them as: the 10th parameter.
To follow up to my earlier, incomplete post:
I found my error was to enclose the path and executable name in quotes.
Remove the quotes and the encoders are found and executed fine.
I am unable to get mp3gain to run however. No error, it simply is never called as far as I can see.
Thanks for any help.
Here's the section of the INI that creates an MP3, then should run mp3gain:
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; MP3 LAME: best MP3 encoder: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PARAMETERS = -V5 --vbr-new --noreplaygain --ignore-tag-errors --ta "@artist@" --tl "@album@" --tt "@title@" --tn "@track@" --ty "@year@" --tg "@genre@" "@source@" "@dest@"
ONLYIFLAST = FALSE
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; MP3gain: TRACK Mode: mp3 normalizer: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html

PARAMETERS = /p /k /r /s s D:\Transcode\@artist@\@album@\@artist@ - @track@ - @title@.mp3
ONYLYIFLAST = FALSE
EDIT
The problem was the ONLYIFLAST misspelled in the INI. There is another in the default INI as well. Fixing that solved the problem.
Thank you for the additional "user variable" info Kwanbis! I really appreciate it ... and if you think of anything else, you know where to find me ...
good catch. I just fixed it. I'm taking a 15 days vacations, so i don't be replying probably for that long. Thanks to all.
When using MAREO to encode FLAC & an iTunesEncode ACC file, you can delete the file in Itunes after encoding and just keep the one in your "@dest@" folder by using the iTunesEncode -d option, but is there a way to keep the iTunes file & delete the one in the "@dest@" folder?
iTunesEncode says the output (or the @dest@) file is optional, and if you omit it, the file is in your iTunes directory only (which is what I'm trying to obtain) but when I do it this way in conjunction with MAREO, I get an error and MAREO hangs & won't continue until I hit the enter key.
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch
What was the error?
Could you post your mareo.log here?
And please use the codebox tag for the log. =)
[codebox]Your mareo.log file content[/codebox]
I know why I'm getting an error in MAREO ... it's because I deleted the @dest@ from the portion MAREO.ini that pertains to iTunesEncode. Per iTunesEncode, if you don't specify an output file (which, I thought was the @dest@ file), then iTunes only leaves a copy of the file in the iTunes Library. However, MAREO errors out if it doesn't see a @dest@ file, so I need to try to find another way to accomplish it. Anyway, here is a copy of the MAREO log file that I get when I don't use the @dest@. The error is in the Processing Order 3. (I hope I've used the CODE BOX" correctly ... I have't been here that long & I've never used it before. )

Regarding workaround, try setting FULLNAME to the same directory and naming format that iTunes uses.
Put back @dest@ to iTunesEncode parameters, and then try again.
I don't know what will happen, so don't ask.
Per iTunesEncode, if you don't specify an output file (which, I thought was the @dest@ file), then iTunes only leaves a copy of the file in the iTunes Library. However, MAREO errors out if it doesn't see a @dest@ file
I'm trying to accomplish the same thing - leaving the file in the iTunes managed library, and not creating another file - via Foobar's Convertor (see question here (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=42120)). It seems that the various apps (MAREO, Foobar) all expect an output file and fail if there isn't one - despite it being a valid iTunesEncode command line.
It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure about the suggestion for putting the FULLNAME into the same directory path as the iTunes library - that would be pretty hard to manage as the iTunes library path and song name are not always easy to predict, given special character translations etc.
The best solution I can come up with is to direct all output, eg @dest@, to a temporary folder somewhere and just delete everything in that folder periodically...or even automatically using a command at the end of the encoding process.
I've setup EAC to rip FLAC and mp3 (Lame 3.97b2) pretty much using the beginners guide from the slim devices site. I created profiles in EAC for each, and indivually each one seems to work fine.
My ripping strategy is to rip to FLAC for Squeezebox3 playback and mid quality mp3 for portable use. MAREO seems to be the tool that lets you automate this process within EAC. The system runs Windows XP Pro w/ 2GB of memory. When I run EAC configured for MAREO, I get a Windows error pop-up after a track is extracted that says, "mareo.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." When I check my music folders, it seems to be creating the WAV files but the mp3 and FLAC files aren't being created. By all accounts, it appears that MAREO isn't executing properly.
In EAC if I explicitly include the entire path of the mareo.ini file in the external compression - additional command line options it no longer gives me the Windows XP error, but it still doesn't execute LAME or FLAC.
I'll post some of the relevant config info. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried all sorts of variations where I include more quoted stuff in the mareo.ini file and also moving the LAME.exe and FLAC.exe into the mareo folder, but I end up with the same results.
EAC external compression program path: C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\mareo\mareo.exe

You're not, by chance, using MAREO 3.0 Beta with the new mareo.ini structure of MAREO 3.0 Final, right...?
I haven't tested anything, but if I come across a successful setup of FLAC and LAME, I'll post here.
Downloaded it earlier this week.
I believe it's the final version of 3.0
I'm using EAC & MAREO 3 to encode to FLAC for lossless, LAME Mp3, and iTunes ACC/m4a. Here are my settings -- hope this helps!
Note: Be sure you are using the "MP3" button to start EAC encoding rather than the "WAV" button.
In EAC/Compression Options/External Compression:
Set the "Parameter passing scheme:" to: User Defined Encoder
Set the "Use file extension:" to the first encoder extension used in your MAREO.ini file (ie .flac)
Set the "Program, including path, used for compression" to your Mareo.exe path.
Set the "Additional command line options:" (I use these options): Mareo.ini %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m" "%c"
Add ID3 tag: unchecked
Delete WAV after compression: unchecked
Here's my MAREO.ini file:
MAREO.ini file: I'm encoding to FLAC for lossless, LAME Mp3, and iTunes ACC/m4a, but if you don't want the iTunes files, just begin each line in that section with semi-colens.

See if you guys could reproduce this error I had.
Apparently, MAREO 3.0 couldn't properly create a directory with a few periods in its name.

With this mareo.ini, I ripped 'Craig David - The Story Goes...' CD; please note the trailing periods.
Ripping one track, I was greeted with an error message.
Apparently, vorbisgain didn't work, said it couldn't find the file to be processed.
Looking at the mareo.log, I was kinda surprised.
Please note that I only include the important part of the log.

So, is it just a case where MAREO ends up omitting some periods?
Wrong.
Here's the mareo.log after I run a second rip of the same disc of the same track.
Note that this time I had
four errors and that I didn't delete the resulting files and directories from the first run.

The strange thing from this log is that MAREO knew a directory existed, but it didn't delete the file inside (which is MAREO's behaviour should it find a file with the same name and directory as @finalfullname@).
Instead, it only tried to make a new one, but strangely failed.
When I looked into the directory which MAREO created from the first run, guess what...
Here's the directory for LAME encoded 'Craig David - The Story Goes...'.
[span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes\[/span]
Yes, there's no trailing period there.
The same goes for the Vorbis and FLAC encodes.
It seems that when MAREO printed this in the log :
DIRECTORY "D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes.." allready exists.
It actually referred to [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes\[/span] but it attempted to delete [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes..\01 - All The Way.mp3[/span], which didn't exist (and thus deletion failed but no notice or warning), and attempted to put [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
01 - All The Way.mp3[/span] into [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes.\[/span], which actually referred to [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes\[/span] instead (read the first mareo.log and you'll understand why I think this was the case, and not because [span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']
D:\My Music\MP3\Craig David - The Story Goes.\[/span] wasn't there), and failed since there existed the same file and MAREO actually couldn't overwrite it, thus the error ensued.
I hope kwanbis will come back sooner and address this issue properly... =/
Got MAREO 3.0 working.
The problems and solutions...
MAREO wasn't executing because I had "EAC Options" - "Tools" - "Do not open external compressor window" checked, and at the same time had "LogToScreen = TRUE" in the mareo.ini file. Once I changed this value to "FALSE", MAREO started to execute. Things got better, but not entirely correct.
The mareo log file showed that everything worked 100% without any errors. However, my first file generated (the mp3 one) didn't exist even though the log file said it did. I went back and changed the mareo.ini file entry:
RenameFirstFile = TRUE to
RenameFirstFile = FALSE
This lets EAC rename the first file converted. Eureka! It now works.
Edit/Delete Message
Per iTunesEncode, if you don't specify an output file (which, I thought was the @dest@ file), then iTunes only leaves a copy of the file in the iTunes Library. However, MAREO errors out if it doesn't see a @dest@ file
I'm trying to accomplish the same thing - leaving the file in the iTunes managed library, and not creating another file - via Foobar's Convertor (see question here (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=42120)). It seems that the various apps (MAREO, Foobar) all expect an output file and fail if there isn't one - despite it being a valid iTunesEncode command line.
have you tried using the "FULLNAME = NONE" option? (its 8am, just got from a 19 hours trip, so maybe i'm wrong)
didn't expected so many complains ... i would try to take a quick look tomorrow at whats not already fixed.
No-no, not 'complaints', they're 'bug reports'.
Since this is the only way we can support software devs aside from monetary issues... =b
Welcome back, btw. =)
Where have you been to?
What I meant was, CDEX's option (on your site) says : CHECK to NOT delete file.
and you leave it unchecked. Therefore it deletes.

I tried using the "FULLNAME = NONE" option, and that doesn't put the file in what would have been the "dest" directory, but it leaves the temp file (in this case: ctmp7!1!5.NONE) in the directory where the WAV file was created and deleted from. Here is the portion of the MAREO.log file that pertains to this.

Thanks so much for your help ... and have fun on the second half of your vacation!
By the way ... I'm sorry I didn't use the codebox correctly before ... I just found the BB Code instructions this morning. I didn't realize that a "CODE" and a "CODEBOX" were not the same thing ... DUH! (Don't I feel dumb!) I started to use it this time but after looking at it, then I decided that the code probably wasn't long enough. (Hope I made the right decision ... I'm not very good at "decisions". )
Hello,
foobar 0.8.3 has started giving an error when I use MAREO.
Doesn't matter if I only have LAME in MAREO or any combination of encoders.
The source does not matter, APE, FLAC, WAV
There are actually no errors in any MAREO process and it is not reporting an error.
Any ideas?

If I'm ripping, once or twice every couple of albums that Microsoft error message still pops up, and the track associated with that instance of MAREO doesn't run through all the stuff setup in the mareo.ini and the .wav file for that track remains in the directory. The result is that I have to go back and re-rip the one or two tracks where MAREO bombed on that particular album. The computer I'm running this on was recently setup so the OS install is pretty clean.
I'm trying to configure EAC so that I can compress to both FLAC (individual tracks) and MP3 at once. The steps I have taken thus far are:
Downloaded Mareo.rar, extracted to C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\Mareo
Downloaded flac112a.exe, installed to C:\Program Files\Audio Encoders\FLAC
Downloaded lame3.97b2, extracted to C:\Program Files\Audio Encoders\LAME
Entered the following into EAC under compression options:
Checked Use external program
Parameter: User Defined
File extension: .flac
Program path: C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\Mareo\mareo.exe
Additional Command line options: mareoflacmp3.ini "%o" "%s" "%d" "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" "%y" "%m" (per user's suggestion in this thread (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=38828), I've also tried using the spec on the mareo site)
All other options execept "check for external programs return code" are unchecked.
It seems to be cueing Mareo, but not creating any compressed files. Here is what my mareoflacmp3.ini file contains:

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
First, your EAC config is an old one.
MAREO 3.0 doesn't need %o anymore, thus the parameter should be :
[span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%']
mareoflacmp3.ini %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m"[/span]
Second, you're using an old format of the .ini file.
EXT = flac
PATH = C:\test\@artist@\@album@ -flac
ENCODER = C:\Program Files\Audio Encoders\FLAC\flac.exe
PARAMETERS = -8 "@source@" -o "@dest@" -V -T artist="@artist@" -T album="@album@" -T title="@title@" -T tracknumber="@track@" -T date=@year@ -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="High Quality as Exact Audio Copy EAC secure extraction, no c2, Test & Copy matching = same checksums crcs, Lossless Flac -8 Firemaplegirl 2006"
MAREO 3.0 doesn't use 'EXT' and 'PATH' anymore, it's replaced by 'FULLNAME'.
And there's an extra entry called 'ONLYIFLAST' (for full explanation of this one, just visit MAREO's website (http://www.webearce.com.ar/)).
Thus, your config should be :
FULLNAME = C:\test\@artist@\@album@ -flac.flac
ENCODER = C:\Program Files\Audio Encoders\FLAC\flac.exe
PARAMETERS = -8 "@source@" -o "@dest@" -V -T artist="@artist@" -T album="@album@" -T title="@title@" -T tracknumber="@track@" -T date=@year@ -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="High Quality as Exact Audio Copy EAC secure extraction, no c2, Test & Copy matching = same checksums crcs, Lossless Flac -8 Firemaplegirl 2006"
ONLYIFLAST = FALSE
Change the setting for LAME accordingly.
Note that in 'FULLNAME' you have to specify the format's file extension (like FLAC is .flac and MP3 is .mp3, etc.).

I used a wav file.
But, right now I am trying to get MAREO to work with foobar 0.9
MAREO loads (see it in processes) but never opens a window nor touches the wav file. No log is left behind either.
Per iTunesEncode, if you don't specify an output file (which, I thought was the @dest@ file), then iTunes only leaves a copy of the file in the iTunes Library. However, MAREO errors out if it doesn't see a @dest@ file
I'm trying to accomplish the same thing - leaving the file in the iTunes managed library, and not creating another file - via Foobar's Convertor (see question here (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=42120)). It seems that the various apps (MAREO, Foobar) all expect an output file and fail if there isn't one - despite it being a valid iTunesEncode command line.
It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure about the suggestion for putting the FULLNAME into the same directory path as the iTunes library - that would be pretty hard to manage as the iTunes library path and song name are not always easy to predict, given special character translations etc.
The best solution I can come up with is to direct all output, eg @dest@, to a temporary folder somewhere and just delete everything in that folder periodically...or even automatically using a command at the end of the encoding process.

ok guys, back from vacations ... it seems i can't quite follow what the problem is ... can somebody re-explain?
[span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%']Bug Found[/span]
See if you guys could reproduce this error I had.
Apparently, MAREO 3.0 couldn't properly create a directory with a few periods in its name.
Please note that this isn't the case with an older version I also used, MAREO 2.1.2.
could you please post the full log?
ok guys, back from vacations ... it seems i can't quite follow what the problem is ... can somebody re-explain?
Hi kwanbis, welcome back.
When iTunesEncodes runs, it calls iTunes to convert the file to the selected format, and launches the iTunes UI. This process creates a file in the iTunes library and adds that file to the iTunes db. It also creates another copy of the same file in the output directory specified using the (optional) -o switch in the iTunesEncode command line.
From the help:
-o <filename> Specifies an output file. The resulting encoded
file will be copied here after encoding and
tagging are complete.
However by removing the -o switch you can tell iTunesEncode to not create that second file - hence just leaving the copy of the file in the iTunes library/folder structure. This allows you to copy stuff into iTunes for iPod synch, and not have a 'stray' copy of the file lying around.
However using this option breaks both MAREO and Foobar - both of which seem to protest about there being no output file - @dest@ for MAREO and %d for Foobar. I think the way to fix it might be to not require @dest@ to be specified?
Hopefully that makes sense - sounds a bit confusing! Thanks for asking about it, anyway.

I've tried running MAREO with fb2k 0.9 Final with no luck too.
Experienced the same thing; MAREO runs, but nothing happened and I actually had to kill the process to stop it.
I haven't tried with fb2k 0.8.3, but maybe next time.
could you please post the full log?[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] (http://index.php?act=findpost&pid=373013\")
Here's the log for the first run.
mareo.ini is configured to run LAME, OggEnc 2.81 (Lancer), VorbisGain, FLAC, and WavPack using Wapet, in that order.

The errors, except VorbisGain's error which is the same as the first run, seemed to be caused by a faulty MAREO behaviour in handling directory names with periods at the end.

Has anyone gotten MAREO 3 to work with any version of fb2k yet? No luck on my end. Sigh.
On another matter, does anyone know how to modify the INI file so that, as a final step, the lossy files encoded on HD will be copied to a removable flash drive/player after encoding? In short, the sequence would be:
1. encode to lossless (e.g. wavpack)
2. encode to lossy (e.g. mp3)
3. copy lossy file to flash drive
Appreciate any input. TIA

[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=374151"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
looks like some 0.9 problem. i'm investigating.
I bought a Squeezebox and have set up Exact Audio Copy as they recommended. I am using Mareo to create both Flac and (Lame) MP3 files. I have directed the Flac files to one folder, the MP3 files to another, to keep them separate. My problem is that after the creation of the Flac and MP3 files Mareo will delete the temporary Wav file, but it does not delete its containing folders.
For example: the Flac file goes to C:\Music\Flac Versions\Artist\Album\Title.flac
The MP3 file goes to C:\Music\MP3 Versions\Artist\Album\Title.mp3
(as I specified by the Flac and LAME FULLNAME lines in the mareo ini file).
However, after the ripping process there remains empty folders where the termporary, now deleted, Wav file was: C:\Music\Artist\Album\(empty).
My workaround is to designate the following destination in the EAC Options: Directories: Use This Directory:
C:\Music\Toss\
which I later empty of all those accumulated files. I guess there's no other way to fix this situation?
I believe there is a bug, or maybe just a problem.
When the title of a track has a slash ("\") in it then Mareo creates a FOLDER with the track's name, not an actual Flac and MP3 FILEs. (I'm creating both flac and mp3 files with Mareo).
For a simplified example, where a CD has:
Artist: Vivaldi
Album: L'Estro Armonico
Track 01: Concerto in D, Adagio
Track 02: Concerto in C, Allegro/Andante
I get a flac and mp3 FILE called " 01. Concerto in D, Adagio.flac " (and ditto.mp3)
but I get a FOLDER called " 02. Concerto in C, Allegro " (actually two folders with that name because I set it up so that my Flac files and mp3 files are created in two different locations)
If I don't use Mareo, just the Flac program, or just the LAME program, this doesn't happen. I'm using Exact Audio Copy.
So I have to be sure to rename the file first, eliminating the any slashes.
Has anyone gotten MAREO 3 to work with any version of fb2k yet? No luck on my end. Sigh.

I have it working fine with foobar 0.8.3
I get errors in the foobar console, but in fact the encoding and tagging is performed and the files created are good.
With foobar 0.9 I have no luck whatever.

Thank you, Ghammer.
I have updated MAREO 3.1 to the home page. It changes a little more the INI file, to make it more understandable, and it also changes the way on how MAREO works internally. There are no new end-user functionallity, but it should work better now. The foobar 0.9 problem hasn't been fixed yet. I still think is something on fb2k. I would like to ask for testing and feedback. Notice that i haven't have updated the documentation, but it should be pretty obvious.
quick update, i just checked with foobar2000 0.9 final, and it works! the config was:
Encoder: C:\Encoders\mareo.exe
Extension: mp3 (i was to first encode to mp3, then to ogg for the test)
Parameters: mareo.ini %s %d "%artist%" "%album%" "%title%" %tracknumber%" "%date%" "%genre%"
on MAREO.ini, the first filename should not rename:
ONLYIFLAST = FALSE
ENCODER = lame.exe
PARAMETERS = -V5 --vbr-new --ignore-tag-errors --ta "@artist@" --tl "@album@" --tt "@title@" --tn "@track@" --ty "@year@" --tg "@genre@" "@source@" "@dest@"
RENAME = FALSE
PATH = C:\Music\@artist@ - @album@\
FILENAME = @track@. @title@
EXTENSION = mp3
and it worked! the first file is managed by fb2k, the file name i mean.

I wonder what is different betwen our systems.
I installed the new mareo, changed the ini to match yours, ran a convert with fb final and got the same results as before.
I see mareo in the taks list but no activity. No log in the mareo directory. I have to kill the mareo process to get fb to respond again.
I am trying to get Mareo to work with EAC. I am not having any luck. I have the EAC settings exactly like your sire reccomends but when I hit the MP3 button in EAC things go wrong. The fist track will read and then hte CLI box opos up and gives me the info for the song and then the following:
ERROR: Sorry, but mareo.ini does not exists <or could not be opened>!
I can not figure out what is wrong. The txt file with the configs that was in the Mareo folder was simply named
mareo
with no extension. I was getting the error so I renamed it
mareo.ini
still the same error. I have the mareo.ini in
C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\mareo
Is this not right?
Any help you can give me would be appreciate it.
GypsyM, you should post your EAC parametter passing more than the INI file. You should tell MAREO where the INI file is, with full path name, if it is not on the same folder as mareo.exe. Also, don't PM, just post here.
i would like to add to MAREO system folder variables, and i have made a test program. I need someone with Win98 and/or XP to test it. Thanks.

One thing I notice is that the 'common' folders are listed as 'Your' folders.
They are actually the 'all user' folders.
Likely just the output in the test, but wanted to point it out.
I don't see the path variables listed. Those would be a nice thing to use for those of us who have encoders in the path. Saves typing. Ha!

Oh, first time post, but I"ve been reading these forums forever. I just finally have something to contribute =)
I don't know if this is a bug, but it took me a while to work around this and thought I'd share it.
I kept ripping AAC files with iTunes Encode (I don't know if it's just limited to ripping to this format), and FLAC, but while the FLAC files were in tact, no .m4a files would appear. So I watched the directory to where I was compressing them.. the temp file would appear, then it would be renamed, then it would dissapear! After playing with a number of things, I figured out why it was happening
When I had the extraction directory set up in EAC to be the same as the the directory that my AACs were being sent to through MAREO, they would for some reason delete themselves. For some reason if I had the directory set in EAC to be the same as the directory set up in EARL, the files decided to simply dissapear. Does anyone know why? Was I doing something wrong?
Anyway, I figured out a couple work arounds. The simplest of course, is to simply keep the EAC extration folder and the EARL output folder separate, but my EAC logs and playlists would be outputted in a different directory, making it a hassle to put everything back together. So what I did in the MAREO settings was turn RENAME = FALSE and let EAC take care of my AACs so tthe directory could be shared.
Has anyones else ever come across this problem before?
I don't see the path variables listed. Those would be a nice thing to use for those of us who have encoders in the path. Saves typing. Ha!
you mean PATH=C:\XXX;C:\YYY?
i would need to process each one searching for the encoder ... its a nice to have probably. thanks for your info.

what is the EARL output folder? what version of MAREO are you using? have you un-checked EAC's delete wav option?

By EARL I mean MAREO, it's what happens after working on the problem for 5 hours straight I am using whatever version you have on your website.. I clicked the download link yesterday, so I'm assuming 3.0. Yes, I made sure that the delete WAV file after compression wasn't checked.

[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=378836"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Hmmm, actually it puzzles me why the path is not honored by MAREO.
If I open a command window and type lame, I get lame, no need to specify the path to it. Same for all encoders I use. And the same for other apps I use, EAC, foobar, The GodFather, etc.
Is it a huge thing? Nope, just very nice for those who have all encoders in one place and don't wish to type the full path again and again.
I believe there is a bug, or maybe just a problem.
When the title of a track has a slash ("\") in it then Mareo creates a FOLDER with the track's name, not an actual Flac and MP3 FILEs. (I'm creating both flac and mp3 files with Mareo).
For a simplified example, where a CD has:
Artist: Vivaldi
Album: L'Estro Armonico
Track 01: Concerto in D, Adagio
Track 02: Concerto in C, Allegro/Andante
I get a flac and mp3 FILE called " 01. Concerto in D, Adagio.flac " (and ditto.mp3)
but I get a FOLDER called " 02. Concerto in C, Allegro " (actually two folders with that name because I set it up so that my Flac files and mp3 files are created in two different locations)
If I don't use Mareo, just the Flac program, or just the LAME program, this doesn't happen. I'm using Exact Audio Copy.
So I have to be sure to rename the file first, eliminating the any slashes.
i have a similar problem as well. i fianlly got eac/mareo 3.0 to create mp3/mp3gain/ and flac encoding at the same time. i have the songs stored in separate directories (flac and mp3) with separate folders/subfolders by artist/album.
when i ripped sarah brightman's andrew lloyd webber collection, i noticed that songs 10 and 12 were created in a duplicate subfolder/sub-sub folder. all other songs were created correctly.
example:
c:\flac\sarah brightman\andrew lloyd webber collection
song 1
song 2
song et al
sarah brightman\andrew lloyd webber collection
song 10
song 12
same for c:\mp3
anybody have any ideae how to correct this problem.
thanks....
are you using 3.1?
Not a MAREO issue, but does anyone know how to get wapet to use a leading zero?
I'd like to have 01-title.flac for example and have the track tag the same.
Thanks.
Can this be set up to run with Plextools Professional XL 3.08? I see there is an external encoder option and was wondering if anyone has tried it. Thanks for any feedback.

Plextools does not pass the track number properly, at least all I ever get is %N sent.
But it does work.
Edit paths for your location.
Filename Construction
"%A" - "%N" - "%T"
D:\Encoders\mareo.exe
"C:\Program Files\Plextor\PTPXL\mareo.ini" "%S" "%O" "%A" "%C" "%T" %N "%Y"

Yes I see. Just %S and %O get sent correctly for me, none of the others work. So all your %A %C %Y work for you? This is very weird. Wonder if anyone has contacted them about this yet.
Hello, I have a question.
I want to rip a CD with EAC both to wavpack lossless and Vorbis. My workflow would be the following:
1. Rip the tracks with EAC
2. Convert the .wav files to .wv files (but keep the .wav files)
3. Apply track and album gain through wvgain (note that this is not wavegain for .wav files, but a gain tool developed by bryant for wavpack files) to the wavpack files. This tool does not scale down the .wav files instead it computes track and album gain and write these in apev2 tags.
4. Scale the .wav files with wavegain in album mode
5. Convert the scaled .wav files to vorbis with oggenc.exe
In the end I want wavpack files with track and album gain written to the the tags (not scaled) and vorbis files created from scaled .wav files.
Is this possible with MAREO?
In the end I want wavpack files with track and album gain written to the the tags (not scaled) and vorbis files created from scaled .wav files.

should be.
thanks for the reply kwanbis. I wonder in the mareo.ini file what the sequence would be.... I plan to do this sequence in the mareo.ini file:
1. convert to wavpack
2. apply wvgain in the wavpacks
3. scale the original wavs with wavegain
4. convert to vorbis with oggenc
Would this work?
Thanks again.
perfectly, yes. There are even examples with mp3gain, which should be more or less the same as gaining wv. Take a look at the ini, if you have doubts, post what you have done, and we could help you.
Unfortunately my strategy didn't work as planned....
1. convert to wavpack
worked ok.... sort of..... I think I found a bug: if you tell mareo to save the wavpack files and wave files in the same directory, after the wavpack compression the wavpack files are deleted and only the wave files are available.
If you tell mareo to save the wavpacks and waves in differente folders it works ok (ie, both are kept).
2. apply wvgain in the wavpacks
Only works if waves and wavpacks are saved in different folders.
3. scale the original wavs with wavegain
This works ok.
4. convert to vorbis with oggenc
This definitively does not work because oggenc (and oggenc2) does not accept wildcards doesn't seem to be a mareo problem, but a oggenc problem. I have to use the wildcards because encoding to vorbis should be done only after scaling with wavegain.
The only solution I can think of is using the --FLAC-scale option in oggenc but that would cause the same wildcard problem I think... And would force me to use FLAC...
I cannot preserve the tags either because oggenc runs only after all tracks are ripped with EAC.
I'm running out of ideas for this step. Do you have any kwanbis (or anyone else)? I want to encode to ogg from scaled files (from wavs with wavegain or using the replaygain tags from the wavpacks to scale the tracks, does not matter any will do) if possible I would also like to keep the tags.
Another thing: the mareolast.ini file does not add a leading zero to the number of tracks (if I report 6 or 06 tracks to the mareolast.exe program is saves only 6 in the mareolast.ini) and this causes problems because EAC reports tracks with a leading zero (06 in this case).
Also the mareo.log file records an error when trying to delete the mareolast.ini file and the file is not deleted after processing.
This evening I can post my ini file and the logfiles if you need.
Thanks for the support.

How can I get the path passed into parameters?
I have tried using the different path variables with and without double quotes with no luck.
FINAL Path Only = D:\Transcode\AC_DC\Back in Black
If I use this in the ini:
PARAMETERS = -a @finalpathonly@\*.wv
I get this as the result:
EXECUTING: D:\Encoders\wvgain.exe -a @finalpathonly@\*.wv ... EXECUTION **ERROR**
I can't use "@artist@" because of the "/" in the artist name.
@artist@ (%4) = AC/DC
Thanks for your help.
i would try to take a look at both questions tonight.
Hi there
A little tip for all you PlexTools users:
If you wish to start with your file conversion to a non .mp3 file like lets say to a .wv file, then the ripper won't recognize the ID3 tags anymore and the files won't be named, which results in one file beeing overwritten several times (because WavPack is not a native supported encoder by PlexTools). The result will be a lot of wasted time and only one track on your HD (the last selected).
So to solve this problem, just tell PlexTools that the first file you're encoding to is a .mp3 file. PlexTools ignores the file endings which you define in use with MAREO anyway.

I'd like to request a small(?) addition.
I'd like to have the ability to pad the tracknumber.
@track@,2
If the track already is 2 digits no problem, if it is not, pad it with a zero.
I had some files that for some reason were created properly (artist - nn - title), but the track tag was a single digit. Passing the calculated filename to mp3gain of course failed. Mareo did not catch the failure by the way. Mareo saw mp3gain start and reported success. mp3gain said it could not open the file.
Be nice to catch failures too, maybe write them to an error log. With this problem, the only log to view was the final encoding log which since the track number was >10 had no problem.
Sorry if it is confusing. Too much cold medicine today...
I second the zero-padding option.

Hi. I'm having trouble getting the user defined variables working correctly. From the log file it looks like it is set, but when I try to use the value in the ini file I'm just getting @1@ in the comment field instead of the actual value. Any tips for this?

MAREO 3.2 released. Documentation not updated. Mostly bugfixes. Have to go to the cinema. Would update the home page later.
Is the mareo site up (www.webearce.com.ar)? Been trying to get on since yesterday, but no luck.

yes, it is, and i'm actually looking at it.

I can see the site from China.
Clear your DNS cache and your browser cache too.
Might help.
Yeah, must be something with my DSL service because I found another wireless signal near my house and connected right to it www.webearce.com.ar. Strange.
Time now to get started with my FLAC/MP3 project. yay.
Ever since using MAREO 3.2 the tracknumber issue in PlexTools is solved, but I can't rename my extracted files anymore.
I thought it had something to do with plextools, so I tried the same thing with EAC. But the renaming still didn't work.
Something must be wrong then in my .ini setup, but I can't figure out what.

it appears to be something in MAREO, i would take a look.
mareo 3.1 is crashing in eac. It simply comes up with the mareo exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Any clues?
MAREO 3.3 is on the page now. It should be "bug free".
Regarding the EAC crashing, IIRC, do you have "Do not open external compressor window" checked? You shouldn't IIRC.
Everything works fine now with PlexTools Professional XL and MAREO. So I figured that it would be nice, if the documentation could be updatet by one ripping application.
The setup for PlexTools Professional XL would be the following:
-----------------
PlexTools Professional XL Setup Example
Choose Disc Functions, then Disc Extraction in the Functions Window .
1. Output Path: The folder where you want to store the temporary Wave files.
Press the Preferences Button => Disc Extraction.
2. Audio Format: Choose External Encoder
Press the Extra Options button.
3. Select the program: MAREO’s full path.
4. Command Line Arguments: mareo.ini %S %O "%A" "%C" "%T" "%N" %Y "%G"
5. File Extension: Always choose .mp3!
6. Tag info is included in the command line arguments: checked.
The Filename Options under Disc Extraction just name the temporary Wave files after the user defined naming scheme, not the files encoded with MAREO. PlexTools Professional XL delets the Wave files automatically, so the DeleteWavFile option in mareo.ini is always FALSE.
-----------------
If this would be an option, I could also send a setup picture like the ones for EAC & co.
Hope this is usefull for all you PlexTools users!
Regards
- Realityfreak
perfect. I would update the info asap.
edit: please, send me screen shot also.
Here the picture, if you prefer to get it another way, please pm me.

have uploaded a new MAREO.rar. It only contains a modified MAREO.INI, with corrected mp3gain examples.
I third the zero-padding option.
I'd like to request a small(?) addition.
I'd like to have the ability to pad the tracknumber.
@track@,2
If the track already is 2 digits no problem, if it is not, pad it with a zero.
I had some files that for some reason were created properly (artist - nn - title), but the track tag was a single digit. Passing the calculated filename to mp3gain of course failed. Mareo did not catch the failure by the way. Mareo saw mp3gain start and reported success. mp3gain said it could not open the file.
Be nice to catch failures too, maybe write them to an error log. With this problem, the only log to view was the final encoding log which since the track number was >10 had no problem.
Sorry if it is confusing. Too much cold medicine today...
Important!!!
A little (and very important) addition to the setup file for PTPXL!
-----------------
In the trackfield under Disc Extraction, one needs to rightclick on a track and choose MP3 ID3 Tag. Make sure, that you choose freedb in the 'Get CD TEXT from' field at the bottom! (I think this tweak only has to be applied once. PTPXL will save the configuration)
-----------------
My thanks go to madxcream for discovering this issue. I didn't notice this, because it already was my default setting! Sorry folks.
Please write in this thread if any other of you PTPXL users should experience problems with MAREO.

I tried using @destfinalnameonly@ and @desttmpnameonly@ and it doesn't work either. The reason for this is that I use Plextools and create a cue sheet and playlist file with it. I want my file names to be for like this "03 - Calling On You" and doing this withing mareo itslef ends up being "3 - Calling On You" so the cuesheet and playlist have the wrong info. So I would like to keep the original name passed to mareo from plextools and that is why I'm trying to use these variables for the FILENAME = . Thanks.
i would investigate at night.
Ummmm....
I feel a bit embarrassed for asking this question, but... where can I download version 3.3?
I am unable to find it in the new site...

Don't feel that way, I had a hard time finding it too. It's on the instruction page where you download it. Go here:

Mainly because Mareo doesn't pad the track numbers. I have plextools create a cue sheet and playlist file. I have plextools set up the track name as so: "track - title" . So for example it would be "01 - Little Green Men.mp3"
In Mareo I set it up as @track@ - @title@ which would become "1 - Little Green Men.mp3".
The filename becomes different, therefore when the playlist created and the cue sheet created by plextools won't work. I don't feel like editing those files on every cd I do.
So I was trying to use the @tmpnameonly@ so it uses the "01 - Little Green Men" passed by Plextools.
I hope I'm making sense to you. Thanks.
i would add a padding option to MAREO, meanwhile, you can't do that.
I have uploaded MAREO 3.4. It has now the "Padding Zeros" in the INI file option. And new sample configs for Nero Digital.

Thank you very much, I will try this tonight!!!
Has anyone else noticed that if you are creating mp3 files, and you have the file extention set to `.mp3' in EAC, it deletes the mp3 when MAREO is finished encoding the track?
If I change it to `.m4a' in EAC, it deletes the .m4a file MAREO creates.
I finally changed it to `.m32' (a file extention I don't use) and life is good again.
Now to figure out why MAREO is crashing again when I spin up multiple instances of it... I've noticed that the mareo.ini file is locked for writing when MAREO is running.

can you confirm if you have both EAC and MAREO configured to delete the wav? if i remember correct, that was the problem.

MAREO shouldn't be locking the INI. Is in read-shared mode. What he could be locking, is the LOG file. If you set it to not write to a LOG file, it shoul be ok.
It would be very helpfull if you report your findings.
I'm taking one step at a time. First I'd like to narrow down the deleting of the encoded file, and then tackle the multiple instances of MAREO in a different post. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

A screen shot of my EAC settings.
(http://stillborn.blissed.org/EAC-Comp-Opt.png)
So I've got MAREO set to delete the wave file, and EAC set to
not delete the wave file.
The first thing I notice is that I've got
DeleteWavFile = TRUE in the ini, but the in parameters in the log say
DeleteWavFile = FALSE.
If I monitor the file system as MAREO is running, I notice that the mp3 file is created, and then the m4a file, and then as MAREO exits, the mp3 file is deleted and the wave file and the m4a file remain.
If I repeat the experiment, with the only difference being that I change the file extention in EAC to .m32
(http://stillborn.blissed.org/EAC-Comp-Opt2.png)
then the wave file, the m4a file and the mp3 file all remain.

It is exactly the same (except for EAC's random temporary file names). The m4a extention is what iTunes requires mp4 files to have in order to transfer them to the iPod incase anyone was wondering.
MAREO shouldn't be locking the INI. Is in read-shared mode. What he could be locking, is the LOG file. If you set it to not write to a LOG file, it shoul be ok.
It would be very helpfull if you report your findings.
Good call, if I set
LogToFile = FALSE in the ini, I can have multiple instances. Perhaps a note in the default ini file might be helpful for those of us that have dual and quad processor machines. Thanks!
Mareo works perfectly for me now. For anyone using mareoLAST.ini and padding the track numbers, make sure to add the 0 also in mareoLAST.ini. So if there are 8 tracks and you are using mareoLAST.ini and padding, put 08 not 8 else it won't work.
I use Mareo with Plextools to create wavepack, mp3, use wvgain, create par2 files for my wavepackfiels, and then I've created an autoit script to copy over the log, cue sheet, and m3u files to the right directories. I also use albumart which is the only clicking I have to do. I'm going to test some cd's to see if the most relevant cover is always first, and if so maybe create an autoit script to do this automatically also.
Thanks kwanbis for your awesome utility.

No the log from plextools.
No the log from plextools.
You can automate that with MAREO:
1) Create a file with notepad, and place it where MAREO.exe is. Lets call it MAREOrename.cmd
2) inside it, put: copy %1 %2
3) Now, that would need to run when MAREO ends ripping the whole album, so, add to MAREO.ini an encoder like this:
ONLYIFLAST = TRUE
PATH = C:\Music\@artist@ - @album@\
FILENAME = C:\Music\@artist@ - @album@\@artist@ - @album@
EXTENSION = log
ENCODER = MAREOrename.cmd
PARAMETERS = FULL_PATH_TO_THE_LOG_FILE @destfinalfullname@
RENAME = FALSE
Is it somehow possible to automate mareoLAST by passing in %x as a user defined parameter from EAC? (%x being the total number of tracks)
There might be a bug, kwanbis!
I set up MAREO to produce mp3s (with id3- and ape-tags, so i had to use wapet.exe) and flac-files. I think i got everything as it should but the mp3 got deleted and the wav stayed. The old problem again...
MAREO only works as supposed if i put the "RENAME"-line between "ENCODER" and "PARAMETERS". It also works if it is under "ONLYIFLAST", but not if it is below "PARAMETERS" (or in the last line of the block?).
According to the log-file mareo ignored the "RENAME"-line of the second encoder and took the setting of the first encoder while the first encoder didn't have a setting for "RENAME". That's why i tried to move up this line.
Other strange thing: i tried to add a "totaltracks"-tag to the files (thats why i use wapet). "%x" in EAC gives it to MAREO as the 10th parameter but both wapet and flac write @1@ to the tag-field. Is MAREO ignoring the 10th placeholder? The log-file says it's recieving the Totaltracks-parameter and is listing it (for example "12") but in the command lines of the encoders "@1@" appears instead of "12". I also tried "@10@" to "@13@" in the parameter-line with no effect.
Here my almost working ini:

I also found I had to re-arrange the order of the encoder block lines. I forgot to mention that, but you can see it in my previously posted ini file.
First i wanted to referr to your problem but then i mentioned that you had rearranged the lines, too. Now it works for me up to the part with the totaltracks-field.
EAC deletes the wav and i also wrote "mp3" as file-extension in the EAC encoder settings.
One more problem i had was that wapet didn't find the lame.exe at first. I fixed this by creating a special folder "encoder" within the EAC directory and put mareo, wapet, lame and flac into this folder. Should also work if i put all encoders into the mareo-directory.
@kwanbis: what files besides mareo.exe and mareo.ini are essential for mareo to work?
MAREO's only files are mareo.exe and mareo.ini.
Now, let me introduce you MAREO 4.0 BETA1:
1) the placeholders are called <XXXX> instead of @XXXX@, which looks cleaner.
2) It recongizes virtual folders, and it can be used as in placeholders:
<APPDATA> <CDBURN_AREA> <COMMON MUSIC> <DESKTOP> <DESKTOPDIRECTORY> <LOCAL_APPDATA> <MYDOCUMENTS> <MYMUSIC> <MYPICTURES> <MYVIDEO> <PERSONAL> <PHOTOALBUMS> <PLAYLISTS> <PROFILE> <PROGRAM_FILES> <PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON> <PROGRAMS> <SYSTEM> <WINDOWS>
3) It undestands the "filename friendly" placeholders: <cleanartist> <cleanalbum> <cleantitle> <cleantrack> <cleanyear> <cleangenre>
4) If you specify the Lastrack option as 1, it matches at 1, or at 01.
Test here: http://www.webearce.com.ar/mareo4b1.rar (http://www.webearce.com.ar/mareo4b1.rar)
3) It undestands the "filename friendly" placeholders: <cleanartist> <cleanalbum> <cleantitle> <cleantrack> <cleanyear> <cleangenre>
What's this point mean?
3) It undestands the "filename friendly" placeholders: <cleanartist> <cleanalbum> <cleantitle> <cleantrack> <cleanyear> <cleangenre>
What's this point mean?
before renaming, MAREO cleans the filename, so if the album is called "TITLE: SUBTITLE", MAREO changes it to "TITLE_ SUBTITLE". Before the "clean*" placeholders, then only way to reference the cleaned names, was using the "destfinal*" placeholders.
Works just as fine as version 3.4 including my problem that the totaltracks-field is named "<1>" instead of "12"

I still want to make a german how-to for MAREO but since version 2.x (the one i have been using all the time) have been so many interesting changes... Today i had some time left and decided to give 3.x a try but i want to include the totaltracks-field to the mp3. First wapet gave me some headaches and now MAREO doesn't exchange the placeholder (<1>) with the bloody (sorry!) number!
Works just as fine as version 3.4 including my problem that the totaltracks-field is named "<1>" instead of "12"
sorry, you mean that if you set 12 as the last track, MAREO interprets it as 1?
No!
In the EAC parameter line i pass "%x" (number of total tracks) to MAREO. As you can see in my log, MAREO recognizes it as the 10th parameter. In the command lines of the encoder i wrote "-T totaltracks=<1>" (for flac). The flac-file gets a tag-field named "totaltracks" but it isn't named "12" as it should be but "<1>" as the placeholder was named. The equal tag-field for the wapet-LAME mp3 also has <1>
Somehow MAREO doesn't recognize it's own placeholder!
Somehow MAREO doesn't recognize it's own placeholder!
now i get it. i would fix asap.
Somehow MAREO doesn't recognize it's own placeholder!
OK, fixed it.
Test 4b2.
http://www.webearce.com.ar/mareo4b2.rar (http://www.webearce.com.ar/mareo4b2.rar)
Thanks! Works fine!
That was quick!
I tried MAREO 4b2 just now. After porting all my paths and parameters to the new format, I gave it a couple test runs.
The first thing I noticed is that I had to move the ENCODER, PARAMETERS, and RENAME lines per encoder block to just below the ONLYIFLAST line, or else the RENAME options were used by the following encoder block.
I am still experiencing the bug where the first encoded file is deleted unless I put a bogus extention into EAC's compression options. I'm wondering if I should fire up some monitors to see which actual program does the deleting.
My
DeleteWavFile setting in the ini appears to have no effect whatsoever. Whether it's set to TRUE or FALSE, the log still shows that it is FALSE.
So has anyone figured out a way to automatically configure mareoLAST using EAC's %x parameter?
Thanks again kwanbis.

; ONLYIFLAST = if true, MAREO would only execute this "encoder order", after the last track. It is used mostly to execute MP3Gain in ALBUM mode.
; PATH = the path to place the encoded file, example: C:\Music\<artist> - <album>
; FILENAME = the name of the encoded file, example: <track>. <title>
; EXTENSION = the extension of the encoded file, example: mp3
; ENCODER = the full file name of the encoder executable, including, if not in the same folder as MAREO, the full path (c:\encoders\lame.exe).
; PARAMETERS = the command line parameters we would normally pass to the encoder, as if we where running it from a command prompt.
; RENAME = if TRUE, MAREO would rename as per the PATH, FILENAME and EXTENSION options.

Personally, no.
Seems kwanbis hasn't made MAREO to make use of EAC's %x variable.
Anyway, MAREO still can't handle directory creation with a few periods in its name.
My Craig David - The Story Goes... album still can't be processed properly with MAREO.
I used 4.0b2.
FYI, my older copy of MAREO (namely 2.1.2) didn't have trouble with that album; you might want to check on that, kwanbis.
I've been tempted to move to 3.x and now even 4.x, but they just b0rked out of nowhere whenever there's periods in the directory name.
MAREO 2.1.2 is still the winner for me, but I'll try out every new version whenever I have the time.
Cheers. =)
[edit]
Btw, you might want to change the default mareo.ini for AtomicParsley to have <destfinalfullname> enclosed in double quotes.
It borked out on me when I specify the target directory as <MYMUSIC>.

fiexed also.
So has anyone figured out a way to automatically configure mareoLAST using EAC's %x parameter?
actually the problem is that EAC is not the only ripper, and i wanted to make it more generic. i would think a better solution.

I also enclosed AtomicParsley's <destfinalfullname> in quotes. I've pretty much enclosed every filename or filename variable in double quotes. I found the latest version of AtomicParsley (8.4) blows up whenever I try to use it, from cmd to MAREO. I moved back to version 8 and added the
--writeBack switch, and it works great now.
i don't remember right now, but it was some EAC problem. I would investigate again, as i don't remember what it was. But it is EAC doing the delete.
If anyone remembers, please share. I'm happy to configure EAC or MAREO however to avoid this. Using a bogus extention is working fine at the moment, so it's low on my priority list.
actually the problem is that EAC is not the only ripper, and i wanted to make it more generic. i would think a better solution.
I appreciate that, and I'm glad you're taking care to not only support one ripper. Mostly this question is to the other users, in case they've come up with something. Thanks for the fixes!

It was told that 0.84 had problems. How do you use it with the --writeback option?
It was told that 0.84 had problems. How do you use it with the --writeback option?
Relevant ini section:
; AtomicParsley: http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/
ONLYIFLAST = FALSE
ENCODER = C:\WINDOWS\bin\AtomicParsley8.exe
PARAMETERS = "<destfinalfullname>" --artist "<artist>" --title "<title>" --album "<album>" --genre "<genre>" --year "<year>" --tracknum "<track>" --writeBack
RENAME = FALSE
PATH = G:\cds\<artist>\<album>\
FILENAME = <artist> - <track> <title>
EXTENSION = m4a
If you don't use --writeBack, AtomicParsley creates a new file that it adds the tags to, while the orginal remains unchanged. I prefer mp3gain-style of post processing, changing the file directly instead of making a copy.
This switch is only in version 0.80, they renamed it to --overWrite in version 0.84.
So has anyone figured out a way to automatically configure mareoLAST using EAC's %x parameter?
Ok, i have the solution now.
MAREO's ini now, instead of "ONLYIFLAST", has EXECUTEIF.
EXECUTEIF values could be:
1) TRUE: always executes (default)
2) LASTTRACK: it reads mareoLAST.txt and evaluates agains current track number, if they matches, executes.
3) XXX = YYY, in this last case MAREO evaluates the formula, an if it is true, executes.
For example, assuming that in <1> MAREO is getting the last track number from the ripper (%x in EAC), and that it is in this example equal to 12, that the current track number is 4, an that the formula is <track> = <1>, MAREO would evaluate 4 = 12, which is false, and not execute. But when track number is 12, MAREO would evaluate 12 = 12, which is true, and execute.

MAREO can't create directories that has periods in it.
i.e.
C:\My Music\M4A\Craig David - The Story Goes...\Instead of that, MAREO'd create something like

Its actually a windows limitation. Have you tried to create a folder called "test ..."? I would modify MAREO to delete trailing periods on folder names.
edit: is strange that you mention that it used to work, are you sure? did MAREO created folder names with trailing dots?
I was surprised to find that Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) wouldn't allow me to make a folder that began or ended with three periods. For trailing periods, it just removes them. For preceeding periods it throws up an error that really doesn't match the problem, and won't let you name it such.
cmd.exe however, will let you do mkdir "... And Justice For All" without any complaints.
... but not "and justice ..."

The most interesting things are at the end of the log file.
1. The EXECUTEIF statement is a great idea, except that if you use padding, well, it's not going to work. Is there some way to access the un-padded track value?
2. The wave file is being deleted yay!
3. If I put in .mp3 as the extention in EAC, the first encoded file is deleted. If I use a bogus extention, then it is not. I believe kwanbis has put the blame squarely on EAC, but I include it for completeness sake.

2) DeleteWavFile = TRUE
Just so you realize, I wasn't being sarcastic. I've been wanting the wave file to get deleted for some time now and it hasn't been working. Thanks!

The variable <destfinalnameonly> does not produce a name.
destfinalnameonly is FILENAME, so you are basically saying FILENAME = FILENAME.mp3 wich is wrong.
But this basically make me think about the naming of many of the placeholder, so i have renamed a lot of strings, to better reflect what they are.
So for example, FILENAME is FINALNAME now, and <destfinalnameonly> is also <FINALNAME>, to reflect that when you do
FINALNAME = XXXX
you are defining the value of <FINALNAME>
I have also created a <TRACKPADDED> placeholder, that is equal to <TRACK> padded by N zeros, as defined in PaddingZeros.
Download 4b6, http://webearce.com.ar/mareo4b6.rar (http://webearce.com.ar/mareo4b6.rar)
and take a look at the modified INI.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
ENCODER ORDER EXPLANATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
EXECUTEIF = MAREO evaluates the formula, and if true, MAREO executes this "encoder order".
It could be TRUE (executes), LASTTRACK (it reads mareoLAST.txt and evaluates agains current track number,
or XXX = YYY, in this last case MAREO evaluates the equality, for example, <track> = <1>
Assuming that in <1> MAREO is getting the last track number from the ripper, and that it is for example,
12, and that the current track number is 4, MAREO would evaluate 4 = 12, and not execute.
When track number is 12, MAREO would evaluate 12 = 12, and execute.
FINALPATH = the path to place the encoded file, example: C:\Music\<artist> - <album>
FINALNAME = the name of the encoded file, example: <track>. <title>
EXTENSION = the extension of the encoded file, example: mp3
ENCODEREXE = the full file name of the encoder executable, including, if not in the same folder as MAREO, the full path
PARAMETERS = the command line parameters we would normally pass to the encoder, as if we where running it from a command prompt.
RENAME = if TRUE, MAREO would rename as per the FINALPATH, FINALNAME and EXTENSION options.
by the way, anybody know how can i make the text inside this code box smaller?
Hello,
I fear I am suffering from terminal denseness.
How can I use any of the 'CLEAN' parameters?
This produces the expected (to me) output:

EXECUTING: D:\Encoders\mp3gain.exe /p /k /r /d 1.0 /s s "D:\Transcode\<cleanartist>\<cleanalbum>\<cleanartist> - 01 - <cleantitle>.mp3"
EXECUTION: SUCCESS
I also think MAREO should not return EXECUTION SUCCESS as it was not successful since there was no file found using the path provided.
O.K.
I made a little mistake in the PTPXL setup. I said to set the file extension to .mp3. Actually PTPXL then chooses either the ID3v1.1 standard (which is to short in some cases) or the TAG standard, which results in strange filenames.
To solve this problem the file extensions should be set to one of the following: .flac / .ogg / .ape. The files will still receive the correct file extensions like in the .mp3 setting, with the difference, that the filename itself now is correct.
This should also be updatet in the helpfile!
"Always choose .mp3" should be changed to: "Choose one of the following extensions: .flac / .ogg / .ape"
An updated picture will follow! Sorry for the inconvenience!

MAREO 4 Release Candidate 1, is now ready to go.
I have updated the documentation. I hoppe is better now.
http://www.webearce.com.ar (http://www.webearce.com.ar)
EDIT: sorry for the bad HTML, but word is not that good at HTML, and i don't have space right now for GoLive install.
Is there some way to see what version a given mareo.exe is? Like a -version switch or something?
Has anyone managed to set up MAREO with foobar 0.9? Would they kindly post their configs please. Thanks.
Also, the screenshot link for foobar setup (mareo_setup_fb2k.png) is not working.
Cheers,

Has anyone managed to set up MAREO with foobar 0.9? Would they kindly post their configs please. Thanks.
Also, the screenshot link for foobar setup (mareo_setup_fb2k.png) is not working.
there is a whole section dedicated to it on the home page. There is nothing on the PNG that's not writen. I would fix it anyway.
The image is uploaded now.
Thanks kwanbis. Yep, I saw the section, but I just thought you should know about the bad link. Will give it a try when I get home. Thanks for your continued work on MAREO.
edit: I confirm that the png screenshot works now. Thanks again.

I am unable to use MAREO with foobar 0.9.x
It is called and a process is created but a window never opens and I must kill MAREO from task manager.

Ok, I migrated to the newest mareo version, and am having alot of difficulty. Some things don't get run at all, some say command was run successfully from the log file, but I know it didn't. Some paramaters aren't getting sent right. Can anyone take a look and let me know what's wrong.

second, why would you use them if you don't need them? you are not required, and infact probably shouldn't be using it.
Is there some way to see what version a given mareo.exe is? Like a -version switch or something?
since you question, you can just run MAREO and it prints it on the header.
I am unable to use MAREO with foobar 0.9.x
It is called and a process is created but a window never opens and I must kill MAREO from task manager.
No log is left behind.
fb2k 0.9 its a little problematic, as it hiddes the application it's calling. But MAREO should be working behind. Mine is working perfectly. Why don't you try to run it first from a command prompt, and see if it runs ok?
Ok, I migrated to the newest mareo version, and am having alot of difficulty. Some things don't get run at all, some say command was run successfully from the log file, but I know it didn't. Some paramaters aren't getting sent right. Can anyone take a look and let me know what's wrong.
...
EXECUTEIF = TRUE
...

you are using ONLYIFLAST action lines, which are no longer used.

Ok got that all figured out now. I just found out that mp3gain can't be run on a directory with spaces even putting the directory in ""? I wanted to do mp3gain in album mode and can't get it to run on a directory with spaces. Anyone using mp3gain that could enlighten me?

give me an example please, it should work.
ok make a folder c:\testing this out\ and put some mp3's in there. Put mp3gain.exe in c:\ . Open a command window in c: and type mp3gain.exe /k /a /s r c:\testing this out\*.mp3
or try:
mp3gain.exe /k /a /s r "c:\testing this out\*.mp3"
won't work unless I'm typing something wrong. If there are no spaces in the folder name, works fine.
You are right, mp3gain gets confused with the "" ... the strange thing is that if you use mp3gainGUI, it works ok ... so it si probably calling it direferently maybe we can ask the developer.

Yea that would be great to ask him because aacgain.exe does the same thing since it's based off of mp3gain.

ok, i created a placeholder just for this type of problems.
use <FINALPATHSHORT>, that returns the short (8.3) format of the folder. It only works if the directory allready exists, but since you would be calling it for mp3gain, and i assume the mp3 files are already there, it should work, so, the ini would be:

Hi
Just a question concerning album-/trackartist. Is it possible to extract a CD created by the albumartist X and simultaniously add the trackartist Y to the same encoding cycle?
It'd be handy, because my CD collection also incudes quite a number of samplers. And that's why I'd like to sort my collection like this:
...\<GENRE>\<ALBUMARTIST>\<ALBUM>\<TRACKPADDED>. <ARTIST> - <TITLE>.xxx
(Note: I just invented the placeholder <ALBUMARTIST>, so don't try this at home folks! [For the moment at least?!?] )
If it's already possible, then I'd like to ask how this can be set up to work with my specification. I couldn't figure it out.
Regards

sure you can, you can pass MAREO up to 99 parameters ... the first 9 are pre-fixed, but after that, you can pass MAREO whatever info your cd ripper supports. In your case, you can pass at the 10th parameter, the track artist. The only trick is that your ripper must support passing the trackartist to the external encoder. If it does, you just call MAREO like:
INIFILE SOURCE DESTTMP ARTIST ALBUM TITLE TRACK YEAR GENRE
TRACKARTISTthen, you can reference the value of the 10th param (TRACKARTIST), as <1>, so that would be:
...\<GENRE>\<1>\<ALBUM>\<TRACKPADDED>. <ARTIST> - <TITLE>.xxx
OK... Sorry!
Missed that one!
Thanks a lot!

so mareo is updated, or you already had that variable there?

OK... Sorry!
Missed that one! Thanks a lot!
only thing is that AFAIK, EAC does not supports passing the track artist, but i may be wrong.
ok make a folder c:\testing this out\ and put some mp3's in there. Put mp3gain.exe in c:\ . Open a command window in c: and type mp3gain.exe /k /a /s r c:\testing this out\*.mp3
or try:
mp3gain.exe /k /a /s r "c:\testing this out\*.mp3"
won't work unless I'm typing something wrong. If there are no spaces in the folder name, works fine.
mp3gain/aacgain doesn't use wildcards at all, regardless of spaces, it would appear. Which is a bummer. I don't want to have to dust off my C skills.Nevermind, version 1.2.0 of aacgain didn't handle wildcards. 1.3.0 does.

I'm not sure about EAC myself, because I use PlexTools. With PTPXL it is possible to pass both track- and albumartist.
RC3 looks good. I've run it through several tests, no bugs to report. It's doing everything I want.
For anyone else interested, I'm
1. ripping to wave
2. encoding to very high quality mp3 (for the tivo to play on the living room stereo)
3. encoding to very high quality AAC (for the ipod)
4. encoding to very tight FLAC (so I never have to touch the CD again)
5. Performing TRACK aacgain on the AACs (since I set the ipod to shuffle)
6. Performing ALBUM mp3gain on the MP3s (since I listen to albums via the tivo)
7. Deleting the wave
I leave the FLAC gain untouched, so that I have perfect copies of all my CDs, and use a dynamic gain control with winamp when I listen to them. Everything gets tagged properly -- automatically -- and there are no leftover temp files. I can even use all four processors at once instead of encoding one track at a time.
It's like a toaster oven. I put in the CD, hit a button, and out pops perfect rips and encodings.
Thanks kwanbis.

Side Note, is anyone user of BLOG:CMS? I have moved MAREOs home page to it, so i can concentrate on writing the manual, but i want to change the look of the page.
@GHammer: Thanks for your reply on fb2k 0.9. I get exactly the same thing.
@Kwanbis: Would you mind posting your setup for foobar 0.9?
thanks
kindofblue
edit: I think the MAREO download link should indicate the version number or something, just for clarity's sake. Thanks again.

why don't you just run MAREO first from the command line, to see if it works?
I'm not sure about EAC myself, because I use PlexTools. With PTPXL it is possible to pass both track- and albumartist.
can you tell me how? i would like to add it as an example on the documentation.
Well, I just added one varible in the command Line Arguments field. I added the argument "%D". Now the configuration looks like this: mareo.ini %S %O "%A" "%C" "%T" "%N" %Y "%G" "%D". In MAREO I just created the Placeholder <1> as it's representative.
I could also add "%M" for the comment field in PlexTools, but I don't need it.
Here a list of all the arguments:
If the program asks for an inputfile you should enter %S.
If the program asks for an outputfile you should enter %O.
For Tag-information we use the same rules as for Filename Construction:
%N: Track Number
%T: Track Title
%A: Track Artist
%C: Album Title
%D: Album Artist
%M: Comments
%G: Genre
%Y: Year
Ok, just tried it... Commandline works, files are encoded and tagged. Could be a foobar issue then. Thanks.

With WavPack there is no problem in creating a Field called "ALBUM ARTIST" (-w "ALBUM ARTIST=<1>"). But I can't figure out how to do the same with LAME! There are no addiotional field options (I think). So I had to use --tc (The COMMENTS field) as the future ALBUM ARTIST field!
[Edit: Shortened the .ini file & put it into a codebox]

thanks for the info. One only thing. Don't need to paste the whole INI file, just relevant parts.
Yes... Indeed, it is kind of long, sorry for that!
I was in a hurry this morning and couldn't pick out the important parts!
(There is still one thing bugging me... I can't get wvgain in album mode to work, no matter what settings I try! So if anybody should know how to set it up, please tell me)
Guys, you could use the codebox tag for those lengthy .ini or .log file.
This is a codebox tag.
Code boxes will show a scroll bar when the text length exceeds its dimension.
It's better suited for long texts than a simple code tag.
This is a code tag.
Anyway, kwanbis, I could help you design a site for MAREO if that's fine with you. =)

When I add the ape 2 tag, the id3v1 tag doesn't show anymore in winamp or WMP. Foobar sees the ape tag though. I thought maybe it was a wapet execution problem so I try adding the ape tag using Tag.exe to a mp3 that had just id3v1 tag and same thing happens. Not sure why it's not keeping both.
I tested some files in winamp and saw all id3v1 infos in the file info window, so it seems to recognize the id3v1 tags (winamp 2.51 here). Not shure what wmp does....
Question, For me I use LASTTRACK because Plextools cannot pass the # of tracks at the moment, so I was wondering if you can use the variable LASTTRACK to pass as a field to the encoders for tagging?
ok, been implemented.
Now, when MAREO starts, it tries to read the mareoLAST.INI, and if found, it assigns the value to the [LASTTRACK] placeholder.
Also, i have changed the <> to [] cause it was messing arround with HTML code.

My bad - a search pulled this older topic up first. Editing to post in (more) appropriate MAREO 4.0 thread here. (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=44559&st=40&gopid=402257&#entry402257)
