It sounds like cdparanoia has trouble reading the tracks (cdparanoia tries to read the data more carefully than a cd player does when playing it). When you run: cdparanoia -B tracknr where tracknr is any of the tracks you have trouble reading, does it work ok then? Hello Richard, thanks for the quick reply... I started cdparanoia -B as suggested and it seemed to work fine. After a couple of minutes it produced a bunch of 12 tracks in wav format from the audio CD. Among them was the track kaudiocreator could not convert. I played it back with the Real Player and could not find any problems with it. So, the question to me is: what options passes kaudiocreator to cdparanoia and where's the output it produces while running. Does kaudiocreator write any log files? regards Ulrich --- Richard Lärkäng <richard@goteborg.utfors.se> schrieb: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] Wissenswertes f I think by default it uses options that would be equivalent to "cdparanoia -z" so it never skips on errors. And from reading the man-page of cdparanoia it looks like cdparanoia by default skips after 20 errors. If you open KControl, and go to Sound & Multimedia -> Audio CDs and there check the "Skip on errors" box, are you able to rip the tracks with KAudiocreator? Hello Richard,
sorry for replying late - I did not find the time to test until now...
I did as suggested and it seems to work fine. So I would like to say thaks for
this useful hint. I simply wasn't aware that there are system settings
concerning that.
A suggestion for improvement of kaudiocreator would be to pass either the
messages of cdparanoia to the frontend or to a log file to let the user know
whats going on
Another way would be to introduce a setting where the user can enter the
arguments which should be passed to cdparanoia.
thanks again

Ok, thanks for testing. I'm closing this one as a dupe of bug #93130 since I think asking the user what to do after some timeout is the right thing to do. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 93130 *** |
