Version: 1.12 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.13-default When ripping a CD kaudiocreator hangs on several tracks. No message is generated and the program doesn't freeze. I can erase the hanging track from the list and kaudiocreator continues to grab and encode the subsequent tracks. The error persists, when I try to re-grab the same track. When I look to the tmp directory (where I store the intermediate files) I can see that kaudiorecorder stops each time at the same amount of granbbed data (the intermediate file is always the same size for the same track). The same CD produces the same error at the same track. Yes, I can play it with an audio CD player. I also tried this with open Suse 10.2 with the very same results. This happened on an audio book at 2 tracks out of 12 from each CD.
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 ulrich > I think by default it uses options that would be equivalent to "cdparanoia > -z" so it never skips on errors.

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 ***
