v1.4: Problem ripping CD.

2018-08-01 15:20:21

I have a problem in foobar2000 v1.4 when converting from CD. When I convert it seems that the converter tries to convert many tracks at a time which, of course, doesn't work that well for a CD. Converting one track at a time works fine. In earlier versions CD always converted one track at a time while converting from disk converted as many tracks as there were processors, but now it seems that converting from CD uses the same method which doesn't work. I'm not using the "Rip" feature,
I'm adding the tracks to a playlist and then I use the converter.
This might be a known issue, but I couldn't find it when I searched for it.

EDIT: It doesn't work using "Rip" in the Audio CD dialog either.

FWIW, I normally use the "Rip" button, but selected "Add to playlist" instead then launched the converter.  It worked as expected: one track at a time and no errors.

Preferences > Advanced > Tools > Converter > Thread count = "0" (autodetect)

Solved. Just to get it working i set the Converter "thread count" to 1 to force it to take one track at a time and that worked. On a whim I now tested resetting it to 0 and now everything works fine again, so it seems to have been a temporary glitch of some kind.

Sorry, cannot reproduce this bug, using a fresh portable install of 1.4.

Please post a full list of components that you use.
