I haven't actually switched to the new XUI version yet (for REACT) since it has such a slow startup time. I wonder if that's improved with the new release?

I have only used once so far seems a little faster.

also, the new accuraterip version... Isn't AR 'built in' to EAC now? do we even have the option of replacing or upgrading this component ourselves?

All I did is replace the AccurateRip.dll that's in the EAC folder and it's working fine

NO NEED! It's the same version. Just compare file sizes and file versions... it's the same. EAC author just publishes IMHO crap changelogs.. some authors do that, others don't... I like the style of others.

In my pc it's really slow to start and it uses over 300Mb of memory when only using my own image directory with under 50 images as a source. I tested a directory with only 1 picture and the damn program takes about 50Mb of RAM. It's horrible but I hope it gets better. Knowing that it's build with .NET technology.. and requires .NET Framework 3.5, it's never going to happen. sad.gif

About the bug I mentioned, it only happens when using II.%extension% string in path switch & the path contains at least one subdir & the localImagesPath directory contains either .png or .bmp file!! rolleyes.gif Talk about special situation when a bug occurs.

• .cue" DOS cannot find it, so trying dir "c:\Songs For The Deaf.
• .cue" or even "c:\Songs For The Deaf.*.cue" does not find it despite it being there as "c:\Songs For The Deaf.cue".  If I do a normal dir command with the exact name it of course can see it fine.
  
  This is the first time this PC has had EAC and React2 on it.  I installed React2 and configured it before overwritting with the ssb16o mod.
  
  I have never had to interact with react once f4 or f10 have been selected.

I am currently visting my parents house and trying to see if their drives will read the hidden track at the begging of my QOTSA - Songs For The Deaf.  Whatever I do I cannot rip tracks or images properly.

The first problem is it keeps showing me EAC dialogs asking me where I want to save the .cue file and suggesting the root rather than the rip location setup by outroot etc.  It also wants to save the artwork in the root, and also it sometimes asks for a folder "Save Wafeform" and in the edit box it says external compressor.  Finally it keeps saying it cannot find the cue file.  If I try the filespec show in the .cfg files in a DOS box "@albumfile@.

Do your parents use Vista?

This may be a combination of issues with Vista, React and EAC. For now, try running EAC as admin.

EDIT: Side note, can somebody help ChuckW? I don't know about ALC, AAC, etc.

Thanks!

Oh, sorry ChuckW. This thread is a big mess and I frequently miss posts.

I am not sure if iTunesEncode.exe has the ability to support ALAC...

According to the iTunesEncode program:

Quote

-e EncoderName  Lets you specify the encoder iTunes will use.
                  Choose from "AAC Encoder", "WAV Encoder",
                  "MP3 Encoder", "AIFF Encoder",
                  or "Lossless Encoder".
                  (Default is "AAC Encoder".)

So try changing the -e "AAC Encoder" portion of the command line in tracks.cfg or images.cfg to -e "Lossless Encoder".

You should also probably change the references to .m4a to .alac (is it alac?)

Well there goes my theory.

Unfortunately, you seem to have run into one of the bigger persisting bugs that I just don't seem to be able to fix. In the meantime, try pressing ctrl+f2 to re-set REACT settings, and try again. Try pressing F9 and going to the directories tab and make sure that "use this directory: ..." is chosen and is set to a real directory that is writeable to you as a user.

Beyond this, I am not sure what causes this error, though I suspect it might be something to do with EAC. In theory, REACT forces EAC to save a cuesheet to a certain directory, but for some reason, sometimes EAC asks anyway-- I haven't found out yet if this is due to a failure on REACT's part to change the proper settings, or if this is an EAC bug that we need to work with.

Edit: and leave the rest alone - except for bumping up the track numbers.  INDEX 00 entries are fine elsewhere in the cuesheet - leave them as INDEX 00 indices and don't make unnecessary extra tracks.  You should have a cuesheet with 17 tracks, not 20.

"A Song for the Deaf" (Homme, Lanegan, Oliveri) – 6:42
Contains an incomplete version of "Feel Good Hit of the Summer", that features all of the lyrics replaced with rhythmic laughing, toward the end of the track, after about 30 seconds of silence.
"Mosquito Song" (Homme, Oliveri) – 5:37
Mentioned on the track listing, but labelled as a hidden track. The first 30 seconds of this track are silent

I have a ton of .wav files organized by structured directories that I'd like to process.  Does anyone have a good example of a batch script to start at a top level directory and work down to the wav files to generate the tags?

I'm really lost.. what do you want to do? And is this somehow related to REACT? The previous cuefile conversation was Off Topic, so let's not start a new OT discussion. Thanks... and sorry for bitching.

First of all, a big thanks to all of you who are working on this excellent tool.

Can someone please explain to me how to set the latest mod of REACT to embed EAC cue sheet and log file? What I want is a single FLAC image file per CD with cue sheet and log embedded into it, but I really don't know how to set this.

P.S. I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't find a straight answer to this.

@tools@\flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %RG_Flac% %Cover_tag% -T "%ArtistField%=@cdartist@" -T album="@album@" -T totaltracks="@numtracks@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" --tag-from-file="cuesheet=@cuesheet@" --tag-from-file="eaclog=@eaclog@" "@source@" -o "@image@"

• EAC will always pass the file paths in quotes - so %s is "<source path>".
• REACT calls AlbumArt.exe before the extraction process actually begins.
• Blank, I think.
• I would be tempted to pass valid values, otherwise you may confuse REACT.  Try it and see though - blank values ("") for all may very well be fine.

2) How does REACT know not to repeatedly call AlbumArt.exe for successive tracks in the same album?

I have added a WIKI guide REACT:Backup DATA Track for, surprise surprise, backing up DATA tracks. I hope it's understandable guide.

Also I managed finally to customize my REACT. Yes! I have ripped about 40 cd's so far and it's working like a charm.. and FAST. Still I check every rip.. I must be paranoid.    I guess that it's the result of a long bughunt. THANK YOU all who have helped.

So when can we expect the movie to come out?

By movie I mean the super deluxe bug free version of v2. And yes, I dream of when REACT3 comes out or comes integrated with EAC.
