Thanks All

That was what I wanted to do.

I've learned how to build an action in MP3Tag, and just now finished applying it to over 18,000 files, successfully changing almost 11,000 track number tags. If anyone is interested, the MP3Tag forums identified the process as: Format Value / TRACK / $num(%track%,2).

I appreciate everyone's help.

If that's what he wants, he can do it with mp3tag using a text file.

Foobar2000 can also do it.

Not sure what "bulk tag" means but if you want the track #s with a
leading zero in mp3tag:

- select the tracks
- left lick the icon with"1 2"
- the track number assistant window opens
- checkmark the 2nd box there which likely is titled "leading zeros for
track numbers" in the English version

resolution - track numbering tags

2009-12-11T10:30:28Z

This was a version problem. I have loaded V0.99 prebeta 5, and now my rips do indeed include a leading "0" for tracks 1-9 after converting to flac. This version does have an option under EAC>Compression>ID3 Tag that speaks to this setting, although I don't believe I'm writing ID3 tags when compressing to flac (am I?). This wasn't an option in the very old version of EAC I had been using.

Now all I need is to find a way to bulk tag track numbers with leading zeros using MP3Tag!

Thanks for the tip, Lin.

Hi John

Tried both of your ideas. Seems inserting a "0" before the "n" results in all track number tags = n, and inserting "02" results in track number tags of 2n.

I'm going to try a newer version of EAC and see what happens.

Thanks for the replies.

Hi Lin

Maybe a version issue? I'm still on 0.95 prebeta 4, from Nov 2003. Not sure why I never upgraded, other than this works (worked?) fine for my needs. While I'm at it, it seems I'm using Flac 1.2.1, and have Flac Front End 1.7.1 available in the FLAC directory.

I'll try downloading a newer version of EAC and see what happens. Thanks for the reply.

If EAC supports padding with leading zeroes at all - I'm not at a
machine I can test this on right now - then the format would be
"tracknumber=%0n" i.e. with the zero between the % and the n.

I don't know why yours is doing that, because I use almost the same
command line, and my track number tags come out like I would expect:

-6 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T

That is how the tracks are numbered in my EAC window, but not in the resulting flac files. Here are the settings I use for external compression:

If EAC is configured to use an external mp3 encoder, and the encoder either doesn't exist, or the file path to the encoder is incorrect, I might expect that symptom.

Examine the Compression Options dialog box (press F11), External Compression Tab. Is the checkbox set for "Use external program for compression"? If so, is the pathname valid, to a valid compression program? Are the command-line options set correctly? If not, maybe the compression program is confused.

I use "Lame" for mp3 file encoding (aka compression). If you already have Lame, you can simply choose the "Lame" option in the "parameter passing scheme" drop-down box, and provide the path to lame.exe.

I use customized settings on the External Compression tab:

parameter passing scheme: user defined encoder
use file extension: .mp3
program, including path, used for compression
C:\Program Files\LAME\LAME.EXE
additional command-line options:
%l-V 5%l%h-V 2%h --vbr-new %s %d
bit rate: 192 kBits/s

There are many other external compression programs; lame is just one. If you want it, go here:

You'll find all the details in "WhatsNew.txt" packaged within the EAC distribution file (eac095pb5.zip).

I won't bloat this reply (more than it already is) since that text is readily available.

I use EAC with W2k SP4, so I can't vouch for XP, although I doubt there would be any conflict (you'd be seeing many posts here if there was a problem!). Perhaps someone else in the forum has ideas.

Re: [SPAM] compiling/building lame_enc.dll

2009-12-02T14:50:34Z

Im still reading info on the radified.com site, looks like the pre-beta 4 of EAC to rip and the LAME pgm to burn is going to be the way to go. The challange is getting EAC configured correctly, but it's only a one time set up. I would reccommend using a very clean PC to do this with, if you are going to do a bunch of discs and/or planning to use it for making archives, it might be worth the cost of a new Intel based dedicated computer, thats not normaly used for other things, like browsing the internet because you can bug up your rip and burn pc and not know it. Plextor CD drives are prefered. Im going to consider it an investment to justfy the cost :-\ In my case I have about 300 origional issue CDs, not remastered crap, along with maybe 100 hours of bootlegs going back to the 70's when FM radio was great, that Im going to give the EAC/LAME treatment to. Example, I have Golden Earring playing live over FM radio, it was a $1.00 show (just GE no other acts) at the peak of the Radar Love rage, they had played 5 nights opening for the WHO in Madison Sq. Garden and then flew into Kansas City requesting to play in our Cowtown Ballroom in mid summer, with no A/C. They were great. Then there was the Rory Gallgher show (only act again), almost 3 hours long he slayed the crowd, live on FM radio onto my Akai reel to reel, while I drove around listening to it on the radio, I still have the origional tape. bla bla bla..........................

Looks like a memory conflict. Do you run other applications in the
background while you're working with EAC? If so, try it w/o these apps.
I never switched to Vista but guess it has a secure mode too?
Try EAC running in this mode and see what happens.

I made a similar experience with previous releases of EAC under XP Pro but not
"whenever". Only when I switched from one track to another too fast.
Giving the programm 2-3 seconds time avoids freezing here.

Thank you, Marty, but I have already checked the Alternate CD Play Routines

from the same drive through iTunes, VLC, Real Player and Windows Media

Petrus,

The symptoms look a lot like a problem with the drive itself (hardware) or
its driver (software). In other words, EAC is having a difficult time
controlling the drive and getting data from the drive.

What to do? I think the suggestion by Michael J. Russell is wise:

"EAC options/General check Use Alternate CD Play Routines"

See if that setting makes things happy again.

My experience ever since I have been running the latest version of EAC under

Windows Vista (SP2, 32-bit) is that:

. On good days, EAC will play the first frame of a commercially

produced CD, then I would get an error message saying: 'Unhandled

exception', followed by a number which means nothing to me.

. On normal days, whenever I press play in the main window of EAC,

the programme hangs and I have to shut it down by invoking the Windows Task

Manager. In such a case EAC would not start again. I would have to do a

reboot for EAC to start again.

. On bad days, EAC causes my computer to freeze to such an extent

that even Task Manager doesn't respond and I have to do a hard reboot. Since

Windows then shuts down abnormally, the shutdown doesn't actually purge the

machine of whatever EAC has done to it and I would have a second, software

reboot, in order for the machine to run normally again.

This having been said, EAC rips perfectly (VERY SLOWLY, though - no more

than 1.1X, in spite of the settings allowing it to go to as much as 48X) and

I can burn the resulting WAV file to a blank CD, through EAC, without any

problems so that the newly burned CD can be played on any computer or CD

player.

I can load the WAV file into EAC and play the WAV, from the Wave Editor,

without any problems.

When, on ripping a CD, EAC discovers problems, e.g. a sync error, after

ripping the programme gives you the chance to listen to the problem

track/area and eventually to remove glitches. That function has worked fine

up to a certain point, but then stopped functioning. It's not that it

produces silence. It doesn't actually play (i.e. the counter doesn't move)

when I press play under those circumstances.

I'd obviously also appreciate advice on how to make this work like in the

good old days.

Best

Subject: Re: [eac] EAC problem no sound

Can you play back a commercially- produced CD on your laptop with normal

audio output?

If you take a disc burned on the laptop and play it on some other PC (okay

or MAC) do you hear audio or silence?

If literally silence is being burned onto the disc, your problem isn't

audio: the problem is data; most likely a configuration conflict.

Maybe one or more unrelated applications on the laptop are getting in the

way of normal EAC operation.

Hi, I've been using EAC for a few years now but since I put it on my new

laptop [running windows xp so nothing's changed to the way i use it] there

is no audio sound - it reads the cd and connects to the databases just fine

but when i make a file it's just empty [no sound at all] and when i try to

play the cd there is no audio sound whatsoever. I've tried uninstalling and

reinstalling and using older and latest versions but it just won't change -

any idea how this can be resolved - thanks. from Jon [Cardiff]

Petrus,

The symptoms look a lot like a problem with the drive itself (hardware) or its driver (software). In other words, EAC is having a difficult time controlling the drive and getting data from the drive.

What to do? I think the suggestion by Michael J. Russell is wise:

"EAC options/General check Use Alternate CD Play Routines"

See if that setting makes things happy again.

My experience ever since I have been running the latest version of EAC under

Windows Vista (SP2, 32-bit) is that:

. On good days, EAC will play the first frame of a commercially

produced CD, then I would get an error message saying: 'Unhandled

exception', followed by a number which means nothing to me.

. On normal days, whenever I press play in the main window of EAC,

the programme hangs and I have to shut it down by invoking the Windows Task

Manager. In such a case EAC would not start again. I would have to do a

reboot for EAC to start again.

. On bad days, EAC causes my computer to freeze to such an extent

that even Task Manager doesn't respond and I have to do a hard reboot. Since

Windows then shuts down abnormally, the shutdown doesn't actually purge the

machine of whatever EAC has done to it and I would have a second, software

reboot, in order for the machine to run normally again.

This having been said, EAC rips perfectly (VERY SLOWLY, though - no more

than 1.1X, in spite of the settings allowing it to go to as much as 48X) and

I can burn the resulting WAV file to a blank CD, through EAC, without any

problems so that the newly burned CD can be played on any computer or CD

player.

I can load the WAV file into EAC and play the WAV, from the Wave Editor,

without any problems.

When, on ripping a CD, EAC discovers problems, e.g. a sync error, after

ripping the programme gives you the chance to listen to the problem

track/area and eventually to remove glitches. That function has worked fine

up to a certain point, but then stopped functioning. It's not that it

produces silence. It doesn't actually play (i.e. the counter doesn't move)

when I press play under those circumstances.

I'd obviously also appreciate advice on how to make this work like in the

good old days.

Best

It's best to stop as many other processes as possible when using EAC, no matter what your computer is.

EAC has never played audio for me, on any of my computers. I'd be
interested in a fix as well. It's not a sound card issue as the audio
should be going thru the IDE.

This really sounds more like a sound card problem than an EAC problem.
Did you check the laptop manufacturer's website for the latest drivers?

As far as I know there is no public SDK for EAC. It is already a ripper
program (the best one), so creating your own would be reinventing the wheel.

Last year I had problems with EAC not working on a Windows XP machine and it
turned out that it was caused by not having the correct version of the
wnaspi32.dll file installed in the proper directory. Could this DLL file be
what is causing your problems with EAC not working in Windows 7? And if you
are using Windows 7 64-bit would you need the wnaspi64.dll file?
