Description Fridtjof Busse 2004-11-26 22:34:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

If kaudiocreator encounters a CD-reading-problem, it nicely outputs a warning-window.
However, this window contains no information whatsoever, *where* this problem was encountered (track) and if it can be fixed. If you don't see the window immediatly, you have to guess which track may have errors. It would also be nice to stop encoding if a reading-error occured, especially with FLAC.

Comment 1 Pascal Niklaus 2005-01-20 11:30:25 UTC

The message text is 

"AudioCD: Disk damage detected on this track, risk of data corruption."

but because ripping continues, it is not possible to associate this message with the track it concerns. 

Better would be:

"AudioCD: Disk damage detected on track X, risk of data corruption."

For heavily scratched CDs, an option to skip these messages would be handy, ideally with a status report at the end saying Track 1 - X errors, Track 2 - Y errors etc.

Yup but this message is really just crap. It rips fine even if I get this message. My CD's are new and I have a nice LG DVDRW as a reader so this message should always be hidden ;)

Comment 3 Joseph Roback 2005-04-03 01:42:30 UTC

Yes, I am using kde3.4.0, and i always get these dialogs. I put a brand new CD in, I am using a new DVD-ROM, and I see no messages in syslog or dmesg about my cdrom drive failing.

When the cd is finished, all is well and i can't seem to hear any problems with the rip. So I also bring the question as to why these dialogs even show up. I think the handling in this case needs to be 're-worked'.

also does kaudiocreator use cdparanoia for the ripping?

cheers

KAudioCreator uses cdparanoia for ripping.  Those errors occur when it tries to read the disk, but can't get the same values back.  i.e. rip twice and you wont have the same files.

Moving to audiocd which generates the warning

See also #97585.

Comment 8 Dik Takken 2006-01-02 11:50:00 UTC

Duplicate Bug 97585 suggests that the KNotify system should be used to generate the ripping warning/error messages. This will allow the user to customize the notifications using the KNotify KCM module.

Bug 98311 requests a notification history, which is useful for reviewing multiple errors when ripping is completed.
