maximum number of files

I experienced that FLAC Frontend can't add more than 28 files to en/decode. It costed me a lot of time to discouver this. Without error FLAC denied to add those 29 or more files.

Is this a 'bug'?
Is this a known issue?

Can you provide anymore details about this problem?  Specifically, are these 28-29 files from one album or just multiple files you are trying to handle at one time?  Are you enabling Replaygain?

I did some testing with 30+ .wav files and the only time I had trouble was if I enabled Replaygain and had the box checked for "Treat input files as one album".  If I had more then one album in FLAC Frontend and that box was checked, it would just show a bunch of errors on the DOS box and didn't encode anything.  This happened regardless of the number of tracks.  I assume this is because the albums are in different directories and since FLAC Frontend is just a glorified "batch file creator" it can't process that request properly.

Depending on what FLAC Frontend is doing it could be busting the (very short) limit on the maximum length of a command that CMD allows.

It happens with 29 (and more) files of one CD. With three different CD's, from a box with 35 CD's. The other 32 CD's have less than 29 files. It definitely has to do with that number of 29 (and more).

I had an album in FLAC format that was 33 tracks that I tested with FLAC Frontend and decoded all 33 tracks and then re-encoded the wavs back to FLAC with no trouble.

I'm using FLAC Frontend 1.7.1 (the latest included in the Windows FLAC package I believe) and have "Verify", "Add Tags", "Replaygain" and "Treat input files as one album" checked.  I do not have any other options checked.

What options do you have checked in FLAC Frontend, what version of FLAC are you using?  What OS are you running, how much memory do you have?  I suppose there are some PC/OS limitations that could be affecting you.

(For the record, I'm testing with XP SP2, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 4400+)
