Setup question from an absolute newbie...
I'm preparing to rip my cd collection, and have installed EAC with Mareo, in hopes of ripping my discs in .flac and .mp3 formats simultaneously.
I went through the install and configuration and have tried a couple of test rips -
Following each song scan, I get a message indicating that "mareo.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". This is typically followed by another message in a separate box (in this case for a self-titled CD, track #4, titled "Trompe L'Oeil". Similar messages appear for each track, and :
The external comrpessor returned an error!
Options : mario.ini "C:\Documents and Settings\Walter\Walt's CD Collection Rips\Atmp660-!.wav" "C:\Documents
and Settings\Walter\Walt's CD Collection Rips\Atmp660-!.flac" "Advent" "Advent" "Trompe L'Oeil" "04" 1997
"Progressive Rock"
File : C:\Documents and Settings\Walter\Walt's CD Collection Rips\Advent - Advent - 04 - Trompe L'Oeil.wav
The log from my test CD rip is as follows:

; 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.

; 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 (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.

Hopefully I don't have this this all set up TOO out of whack - but if need be I can go back and do a full re-install or reconfiguration. Hoping some of you experts can tell me just what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
