XLD Requested Features List

Reply #150

I'm trying some perfect condition CDs now, and 10.2 paranoia does seem to be producing the same errors as I've been getting with the slightly scratched CD that I've been using up to now. Not audible, but enough to mess up the AR report. All I've looked at so far are nearly identical blips at just before the end of the track.


Update to 20080921 and try it now. I just tested this, and the issue has been resolved. !0.2 in secure test and copy mode is now working correctly. No more CRC mismatches.

He also fixed the enhanced CD issue. Works perfectly now!

Once again, very impressive support.

Thanks, tmkk!


It's still there for me with the Matshita.
If I'm at all right about this being similar to the problem I had with the old paranoia and my old Matshita, I've never seen any problem remotely like that with any other drive. This might just be related to this specific hardware, which is last falls generation of iBook.
I haven't seen any cases yet of this current small glitch issue with other drives, but I haven't been trying them much - all my time I've been spending with the program has been spent looking at this issue on the Matshita.
I'm moving on now to focus the much better/faster drives that I'll actually be using for ripping.

My Plextor 230 now runs at full speed with XLD! This is great. Before the only ripper it would work at all fast with was iTunes.

Another thanks to tmkk.
I'm can see we're getting very close to where it will be worth the time to re-rip my CD collection with XLD.

------

For the old CDParanoia issue - How about label the box something like "Desperation Mode - Try only if CD cant be ripped, and can't be repaired. Might provide acceptable results"
That's about the only use I see for the old ripper.
If having the engine included is getting in the way of development, make the first small help file something to that effect, and provide a link to an old version of XLD with the old engine included.

I can rip the hidden track 0 of "Songs for the Deaf" fine so I think it has sth. to do with the capabilities of your drive.


Thanks - I did suspect the drive was at play here too. I'll need to go back and check the specifics, but I recall a >2 second pregap, albeit smaller than the Songs For The Deaf track 0, being ripped okay on the drive - an internal Matshita UJ-85J.

Out of interest, what drive are you using that successfully ripped track 0 on SFTD?

Thanks.

Is performing a burst rip really an optimal method for checking possible C2 errors??

hello, macman. first and foremost, thank you for such an effective piece of software for the mac. your work will hopefully pay off soon.

i'd like to suggest a "total track" field among the tags, so that when importing to audio players it will detail, for example, "Track 5 of 17." i've also found that although there is a "disc total" field, the setting does not save correctly (at least in lame mp3.) if you have the time, would you please solve this?

also useful and time-saving would be the option to save to seperate folders when decoding to multiple formats. for example, it would be great to set "MP3" and "FLAC" subfolders within the album's main folder automatically and have the respective songs, cue and log go in each. this would make the entire process incredibly simple.

i'm sorry i've gone over my limit of feature requests, but i would also love to see the ability to export m3u playlists.

that's all for now  i'm so impressed by xld; i think you've done a wonderful job, especially since you're the only coder. keep up the excellent work!

The "comment" field also doesn't save for me when ripping to FLAC.  Haven't tested the others.

And I love the second idea.

Neither does the Album Artist field (I don't know what it uses, though, BAND or ALBUMARTIST).

Is performing a burst rip really an optimal method for checking possible C2 errors??


Short answer: yes.

Medium answer: yes, that's what dbpoweramp does if you enable C2.

Long answer:  Technically, C2 could be used for either burst or "secure" reads.

My understanding of the difference between a burst rip and a secure rip is as follows:

1. Both rip types can and usually do use the same read command and flags/options.
2. The primary difference in a burst read vs. a secure read is in the pattern of reads for a track.

Burst reads data in approximately same-sized chunks (groups of frames) from the first frame to the last frame of a track with no backtracking and it reads the target data only once (well, unless you tell it to perform two passes, e.g. with a test & copy approach, where everything is read twice).

Secure reads a certain number of same-size chunks (groups of frames), a subset of the track, backtracks and reads them again, overlapping a small (or large) amount of data when it backtracks to provide for synchronization (lining up the data).

So, if a drive provides Accurate Stream capabilities and the capability is not buggy, then a test & copy approach with two bursts should be about as reliable at detecting non-repeatable* errors as a secure pass.  And because there's only one non-optimal head reposition with burst (vs. dozens or hundreds with secure) it runs faster.

However, if a drive doesn't provide a reliable Accurate Stream capability (either it doesn't have it or the implementation is buggy), a secure rip can (or may) provide a more reliable read of the track, due primarily to synchronization when the drive doesn't align the data exactly where you asked it to do so.  Double however: it is unheard of for contemporary drives to not provide Accurate Stream...but there are a very small minority of contemporary drives that have bugs with the feature on some discs.

* of course, repeatable errors might get missed, which is why it is nice to have a drive with good C2 support where they would be caught.

hyro1 the developer of XLD is tmkk.  tmkk deserves all the credit!    I only try to maintain the HA members suggestions for XLD in hopefully an organized format.  Please read the 1st post of this thread to familarize yourself with some the features that have been suggested and the responses from tmkk about them.

I checked the "total track" field for Lame MP3 and it appears you are correct that tag info is not being saved correctly.  I will place this issue on the list for tmkk to look at.  Please read the first post of this thread to learn about separate folders feature.  This has already been implemented in XLD.  The only issue with the feature is that if your were to select Save as single file(+cue) because you wanted to archive using a lossless format and use a lossy format for your digital  audio player you can not select Include pregap in the previous track to output individual files(Both formats will be created as a Save as file(+cue). 

The workaround for this is to 1st rip or save the lossless format with the following Format of filename setting located the Preference menu under the General tab to (%A/%T/%f/%T), also remember to Set the output directory to where you desire the file to be saved.  Next open the lossless format that you just saved with the cue sheet and select the lossy format you want and set the Format of filename setting to (%A/%T/%f/%n %t).  You should have both formats in separate folders Artist, Album, Format.  Note currently the log report is placed under where you specified using Set  Output directory under Preferences General tab. Just locate the log report and drag into lossless folder that you saved in the first 1st step.  The log report issue will be reported tmkk.

Ability to export m3u playlists has been suggested already please check the 1st post of this thread.

WTF?!

I'm ripping absurdly fast now that the C2 option was made available and I enabled it (along with the new paranoia release).

In fact, I'm ripping faster than I have with any other ripper since I got my Mac. I know that this is supposed to be a good thing... but I feel like I'm doing something wrong!

Before I'd be lucky if I got to 5x, and now I'm averaging 10x.

As long as you are certain that your drive supports C2 properly, you're not doing anything wrong.

If your drive doesn't support C2, then you're getting incorrect CRCs for every track.

Regardless, I'm not using C2 (my Pioneer drives don't do it) and I'm still getting speeds of 10x with cdparanoia 10.2 test and copy. That's twice as fast as XLD was before cdparanoia 10.2 was integrated.

It's quite nice.

That's what XLD is doing with drives known not to support C2, such as the Pioneer DVR-108. I have no idea why XLD is doing that, but I'll be the first to admit that C2 ripping is an unknown area to me. Don't take my word for it. Here are some logs.

Note the entirely different CRCs. Also note how the second log informs you that no errors occurred ... but the second log is still wrong (and AccurateRip backs me up on this). I can easily repeat (and have repeated) this behavior with any disc on this drive and the two others I've tried it with. (None of the drives support C2, according to the DAE Database.)

The suspect alternate offsets indicated the problem. If he would've looked a little deeper, he would have noticed that something was amiss with the individual track CRC hashes.

As far as I remember the CRCs and Accuraterip confidences were all kosher, it was just those alternate offsets that were worthy of note. I'll rip the same disc, same settings again and check.

I ripped the disc again with C2 utilised and without. The results were identical and, look as deeply as I can, I see nothing amiss with the CRC hashes.

Anyone else noticed that the log is now named after the last track on the disc rather than the disc itself ?

I ripped the disc again with C2 utilised and without. The results were identical and, look as deeply as I can, I see nothing amiss with the CRC hashes.

Yes, I also noticed that about the log naming.

Hmmmm. Is the Matshita UJ-867 acknowledged to be a good C2 ripping drive?

I have two Pioneer drives, and both drives produce the different set of CRCs for each and every track whenever I enable C2.

What settings are you using? Test before copy? Verify suspicious sectors? Both?

I wonder why I'm getting these bizarre results?

I don't know about good but EAC passed it as using C2.

I use Verify suspicious sectors and Test before copy only when track does not exist in AccurateRip DB

I've always trusted the Pioneer drive in my eMac over any of the slot loaders but it seems the rather crappy Matshitas are actually superior for at least some purposes. Never thought I'd see the day

BTW, does the log I posted above appear in a little scrollable box to everyone but me or have I missed a setting to make it appear so ?

Just tried again using a Pioneer DVR-K05; this time turning off test before copy and verify suspicious sectors. Same thing again.

I can only conclude that these Pioneer drives and C2 really don't like each other.  Why the different CRCs, though? Doesn't make sense to me. Oh, well.

ffooky, could you try comparing a track (C2 and non-C2) with your Pioneer drive? I'm wondering if all Pioneer drives do this.

Just noticed something. All of these C2 ripped WAVs are screwed up. It's the XLD endian problem again.

According to DAE Drive Features Database the Pioneer drives listed above do not support C2 Error Correction.  Pephez your drive is an earlier model not listed.  Your drive appears not to play nice with C2 like these other Pioneer drives.  Note the next Pioneer model listed is DVR-115 and it breaks ranks with other models in that it is listed as supporting C2 Error Correction.






Pepzhez are you using a PPC?

I only just noticed that all of these C2 rips are producing WAVs with the wrong endian. There was a similar endian problem with certain discs with a previous XLD build. It was due to a libcdio bug that only affected PPC G5 machines. I'm thinking that this is related.

I just sent tmkk an email letting him know about this.

tmkk just released a new XLD version Version 20080924:

    * Fixed a problem that produced endian-swapped audio files on PPC machine when using C2 pointers
    * Updated LAME to version 3.98.2

Try this version!
