CD Hardware/Software / Re: EAC crashes on error - secure vs. burst mode?

Still a few strange things like I just tried to insert a cd with eac running and it kept kicking out the disk.  I exited eac, inserted the disk and then started eac and all was fine.

EAC options > General > Disable 'CD Autostart' for audio and data CDs while EAC running > enabled

I was just using what was recommended on the guide page for adding tags but that seems to cause the errors:
https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_and_Lame

That page also recommends using 'User Defined Encoder' instead of 'LAME MP3 Encoder' preset.

I also noticed a truncated string on this page:
https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_and_FLAC
under:
"If you are using EAC 1.0b1 or earlier, then in the Additional command line options box, copy and paste the following string: "
Doesn't affect me but just noticed the error.

That text is correct for legacy versions. The newer versions use longer strings and the text runs off the page but can be copied in full.

Yes, with the tagging functionality of foo_sqlite by defining the tag as an SQLite tag.
Ok, just seen it. Will try experimenting with it.

Only indirectly by using the possibility to materialize the virtual media library table. You could add one ore more triggers to the materialized table which are doing the calculation. Not only when adding new files to the library, also when updating the rating tag. But these triggers need to be carefully designed to avoid endless recursions or too long running updates.
Too complex for me at this moment; I barely understand the basics right now. I appreciate the component capabilities but functionality/docs are abstract as hell (for me).

A better solution would be to use the format() function:
Code: [Select]
...
       format('%.2f',round(sum(rating*length_seconds)/sum(length_seconds),2)) as albumrating
...

I tried the format function as first solution and it didn't work at all for me. Maybe I didn't use it properly though.
In docs I always find that SQL format works like this:
FORMAT (value, format [, culture])

Buy you are reversing the args there (?) Just checking now, the reversed version works xd so that was the problem.

Interesting.  I thought it was the flac encoder that was causing trouble but deleting the command line for mp3 seems to have eliminated the error.  Still a few strange things like I just tried to insert a cd with eac running and it kept kicking out the disk.  I exited eac, inserted the disk and then started eac and all was fine.

Here is the External compression tab:

My command line options:
Code: [Select]
-T "artist=%artist%" -T "title=%title%" -T "album=%albumtitle%" -T "date=%year%" -T "tracknumber=%tracknr%" -T "genre=%genre%" -5 %source%
And my mp3 compression:


To start the process I insert the cd, press F4 to get the gaps.  Alt-G to get the album data.  Then press the CMP icon to start.

General Audio / Re: Why do DSF files not sound as good as the SACDs they were made from?
Last post by Lodum007 -
I put the original SACD disk into the Oppo 205.  I recorded the analog output into Pro Tools to make a WAV file.

Without changing any settings or cabling or any levels, I put a USB drive into the Oppo 205 and played the DSF file (which I had extracted from the SACD disk).  I recorded the analog output into Pro Tools to make a WAV file.

The levels are the same.  I loaded the two resulting WAV files into Foobar2000 to do the ABX tests. 

(Unless one had two identical Oppo players to play back both sources and could switch between them, I don't have another practical way to conduct this test,)

In order to create files to do an ABX test I ran the analog output of the Oppo 205 SACD and DSF file into a digital recorder. 
But, how did you feed the Oppo the DSF file? By a USB memory stick ... ?

Quote from: Lodum007 on
I used Pro Tools running at 96 kHz, 24-bit to capture the analog output of the Oppo 205. 
OK, so the difference isn't due to 60 to 80 kHz noise then.

This is getting weird. Were the WAVE files equally loud?

I was able to duplicate the 1st error.
Set 'Parameter passing scheme' to
Code: [Select]
User Defined Encoder
if you want to use 'Additional command-line options'.

If you want to use the 'LAME MP3 Encoder' preset, leave 'Additional command-line options' blank.

Set 'Use file extension' to
Code: [Select]
.mp3
.

Edit: How do you start the extraction (copy)?
