Looks like it can't open sqlite databases. The sqlite error 14 means SQLITE_CANTOPEN and the win32 error 2 means ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. And you get the exact same problem with a clean portable install?

Support - (fb2k) / Foobar 2.1.4 Crash
Last post by jakedean22 -
Hi All,

i was using 2.1.3 after upgrading my portable installation from 1.6 i thought it was time to try the newest version. My music is stored on a network drive and whenever i was changing tags or moving files it would randomly crash. i could never figure out what specifically. i ignored it, updated to 2.1.4 and within 5 mins crashes again. i have had about 4 tonight. i want to stay on 2k but i can only stop the crashes when using 1.6.

i updated over the top of my existing installation but also tried a completely fresh one, that didnt work either. i searched other crashes and saw turning off hardware acceleration was an option, turns out mines already off. please see attached crash, if someone can interpret the violation i would be very appreciative. i also send the logs within Foobar.

Quick update. I believe the RareWares builds are slightly out-of-date. I found more recent source that appears to fix a bug relating to low samplerates. I'll look at this in more depth when I am able. The broadband connection where I am visiting in Spain is slow and intermittent!

@Kraeved Now i tried GXLame and Helix but they did not give ~12kbps. GXLame gave ~16kbps and helix gave ~20kbps + helix gave 22050Hz. MP3ENC looks like not free and looks like it's payment system is down. What can i do?

Commands:
hmp3.exe -V12 hmp3.wav hmp3.v12.mp3
gxlame-t5.3.exe -b 12 -h gxl.wav gxl.mp3
