This is normal for EAC's default non-compliant Cue sheets, because the
pre-track gap for any given track is appended to the file of the track
before it.

Edit the cue files to remove the absolute references.

FILE "Lucy Kaplansky\Over The Hills\01. Manhattan Moon Lucy"
would become
FILE "01. Manhattan Moon Lucy"

Could it be because Burrrn is looking for wave files but they're in
FLAC format? I thought Burrrn would convert FLAC>WAVE, but maybe
not?...a plugin/addon maybe?

Re: Cue sheet problem.

2008-10-09T12:29:34Z

Hmmm, I'm not too familiar with this, but it seems to me you have something
weird starting with track 5. The FILE command for track 5 should be before
the TRACK 05 AUDIO line, whereas in your example it appears between the
INDEX 0 and INDEX 1 instructions... Same goes with tracks 6 through 10. In
addition to that, the INDEX 1 commands point to locations before the related
INDEX 0's...

Cue sheet problem.

2008-10-09T08:26:18Z

HI,

Would be grateful for some help please.

I've recently ripped about 500 discs to flac, following the instructions given on
jiGGafellz' Step-by-Step Guide to Secure CD Ripping. I made a cue file for each disc following the steps outlined in the tutorial, however, when I try to open a cue sheet using Burrrn I encounter the following error.

Error

---------------------------

Referenced file "D:\Flac files\Over The Hills\Lucy Kaplansky\Over The Hills\10. The Gift Lucy Kaplansky.wav" not found!

---------------------------

OK

This error occurs for all of the cue files, and always appears to be associated with the last track.

I shall include a sample cue sheet below, and would appreciate some help as I'm not familiar enough with the syntax to identify the problem.
Btw, Foobar 2k is also unable to open these cue files.

Many thanks,

Tim.

I had a similar problem which seems to be solved by opening EAC as

I have two guesses...

- I believe Windows Vista doesn't allow user data to be written to the
Program Files directory. Perhaps cdrdao.toc can't be written there, and
therefore can't be read. The solution to this kind of problem can be to
install the program somewhere else besides "Program Files", or to set
the program up to write it's data elsewhere, if possible.

- I notice there's a space in your file name, "cdrdao<space>.toc".
Maybe you have a typo in one of EAC's setup options?

Dear Grant

It means the "Table Of Contents" file cannot be read, (usually means the
CD can't be read) something is interfereing!

Thanks for the reply.

I have been using EAC with this burner for about 15 months now. The Unhandled Exception error occurs infrequently but enough to be annoying. I don't have problems with any other ripping or burning programs such as CDex or Nero. I think my firmware is up to date.

I have changed the gap detection to Method A, accurate but this made no difference to the length of songs problem.

Thank you anyway for your suggestions.

Regards
Mick

Are you sure that EAC supports your burner? Do you get similar errors
when using other burner software like NERO etc?
Have you already tried to update the drive's firmware?

Do you have the drive's gap detection mode set to A, accurate? If not it
may be worth to test this configuration. Gives the best results here
on various LG DVD writers.

The highest compression level for FLAC is 8 I believe.
Have you tried creating your own mareo.ini file?
I did, and could not get it to work at all until I downloaded a newer
version (6b2) of Mareo.
You'll find a link to the download in this conversation:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t59569.html

Download that version.
If you still can't get it to work, repost here and I'll reply with Mareo.ini
contents that should work for you with that version.

Unhandled Exception

2008-08-17T03:09:40Z

Hi,

Firstly I apologize if this has already been covered in the forum. I did a search & couldn't find it or phrased my search incorrectly.

On some CD's (very few but enough to be annoying), with the Native Win32 interface for Win NT/2000/XP selected I get the an Unhandled Exception at Native SCSI.504 -> INDEX RANGE. My DVD burner is not a SCSI device but is a SATA device. To cure this problem (to some extent) I installed the ASPI interface in the EAC directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, on some CD's the reported length of some songs is way out. This usually only affects 1 song title but can turn a 3 or 4 minute song into a 27 to 30 minute song (estimate only). Doing a gap detection does not help this.

Any help on this would also be appreciated.

I am using EAC v0.99 pb4 with Lame 3.90.3. My DVD burner is an LG GSA-H62N.

Thanks in anticipation.

Re: disk caching

2008-08-10T17:07:00Z

OK, I think I understand that. But how do you tell if a drive has
audio caching? Here's a typical spec from Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106228

All it says is that it has 2MB of cache. I don't remember ever
seeing any spec specify that the cache was anything other
than "cache".

I figure that the drives I've bought recently do have audio caching
since EAC said they did. Only the two oldest drives I have don't get
EAC to say thay - they are in W98 boxes I've had for over 10 years.
Newegg won't answer any questions at all. I've tried asking about
this from some other online retailer and the guy had no idea of what
I was talking about.

Thanks,

Conrad

cdrdao.toc is a temporary file that EAC creates on-the-fly and passes to
cdrdao. It's a sort of cdrdao's own cue file format.

What's likely happening, is Vista's UAC is not allowing this file to be
written in a subdirectory of "Program Files," because EAC doesn't have
sufficient privileges.

EAC writing problem with Vista

2008-08-01T10:52:34Z

I bought a new PC with Vista French version pre-installed this week &
had the same problem for writing.
Your tip on unchecking "use CDRDAO..." is fine for me.
However the problem as far as I can see is that Vista installs EAC in
a folder called "C:\Programmes\Exact Audio Copy" and EAC looks for the
cdrdao function in "C:\program files\Exact Audio
Copy\cdrdao\cdrdao.toc"

RE: Re: disk caching

We are not talking about data caching. Were talking about audio caching,
which is something that you do not want a drive to do. (Do you know of any
drives which lack data caching?)

There is no way to disable caching in EAC. All that you can do is inform
EAC that the drive caches audio data, in which case EAC will attempt to read
a large enough amount of data that the drives cache no longer contains the
data when EAC goes back to do a re-read. That can result in far slower
ripping times for audio CDs and more wear and tear on the drive. If you can
find a drive that does not cache audio data, buy it.

Given the plummeting cost of RAM, its not inconceivable that a company
could produce a high-end drive which cached the entire audio CD in RAM, in
which case, EAC would be unable to function properly.

Fred Maxwell

This is because I STRONGLY recommend NOT to buy drives without data

Ase you already now, caching is a problem when EAC reads in secure mode,

As long as you have a good DVD burner such as NEC or Plextor (to name

I've been a bit confused about this for a while & have just been
trying to figure out the answer. I'd appreciate someone telling me
if this makes sense and correcting me.

While setting up EAC (VO 95 beta 4) on an XP system for a new drive
(Philips SPD 2413) I got, it told me that it couldn't give me
completely accurate rips because the disc was using caching. This is
because EAC, when double checking, reads what's in the cache rather
than reading the disc again to double check. It seems that this is
becoming more common. The last couple drives I've bought have had
caching and it's been difficult for me to determine if a drive has it
before buying.

But, from reading stuff on the EAC site, it seems to me that newer
versions of EAC are able to get around this problem in the secure
mode. The site says, "In newer versions, it will overread sectors,
so that the cache contains sectors from a position elsewhere on the
CD." I don't really understand that. Does this mean that EAC no
longer fears the disc caching problem?

I asked about this a while back and someone told me to disable
caching.

I haven't updated EAC because of the if it ain't broke principle but
I guess it (VO95) is broke. I'm going to install the latest EAC
version. But do I need to worry about disc caching when buying a new
drive (something I seem to have to do more often than I'd like)?

Burning Speed - external layer

2008-07-27T17:16:14Z

Hello,
I have a question please.

I need to use "Native Win32 interface..." because if
if I use the external
layer, burning speed chages constantly.
However everyting I launch EAC, the "installed
external ASPI" is selected.

Also, I cannot get EAC to remember the "USE CDRDAO for
Writing" option.

Am I doing anything wrong?

I am using XP Pro SP2 and the latest EAC version

This is rather a quick treatment, but I hope it will serve.

Remember, please, that the purpose is to find the best recording speed -
the one with fewest errors. It is not to have a go/nogo decision on a
specific recording.

Scan Disc gives only very high-level information; any medium/speed
combination which gives yellow blocks should be regarded as
unacceptable. Even if the disc plays back well initially, it is likely
to degrade more quickly than one which is 'clean'.

Disc Quality is the real test - and here you are dependent on the
properties of the drive. The inherent error rate of optical media is
high, of the order of one bit in ten thousand. To deal with that, two
layers of error correction apply in audio (and a third for data). C1
errors are those which get through both layers; there should be none of
those. C2 errors are caught in the first layer and will always be
present. Clearly, the 'best' speed for any medium and drive is the one
that has the fewest C2 errors. If your drive reports C2 errors, then
that is the only measure you need.

Unfortunately, few drives do report C2. Also unfortunately, it takes a
pretty poorly recorded disc to have C1 errors - the ECC is quite strong.
So the best information you can get is from looking at the line showing
speed of reading. It should be smooth with no downward spikes - or at
least few of them. Each of those shows re-reading to get correct
information. The more and the deeper those spikes, the poorer the recording.

Again unfortunately, most drives buffer the data before CDSpeed can read
the results. In that case, there will be few spikes from which to make a
judgement, but usually one can see at what speeds they become more
numerous and split the difference. Thus, at 4x and 24x, there may be
noticeably more spikes than between those two and optimum recording
speed might be in the range of 8-12x.

Is any information available on using the results from CDSpeed?
I found

, but I'm afraid I don't understand how to interpret the output?

Thanks

Problems writing to disc

2008-07-10T11:06:40Z

I, and some of my friends, who have been using EAC for a few years are
having a problem and having it with both version 3 and 4. Some can upload music
via our DVD drive but when we try to write we get a no writeable disc in CD
drive message even though one is in there. One friend installed version 4 and
now he can't read or write discs. Any ideas what to do or what the cause is??

problem with writing to disc

what governs rip speed (or, does CPU have an effect)?

2008-07-07T16:53:13Z

I've been using EAC on and off for years now, but I'm finally getting serious about ripping my entire 500+ CD connection to disk. I've been doing it on my four-year-old P4 machine at home, and with an HP 1040i drive, I've been getting speeds of about 2.0x in secure mode.

I decided to jumpstart the process by bringing a stack of CDs with me to work and running extractions in the background. I do have a faster PC at work (Core 2 duo), but it's just a commodity Dell desktop. I was very surprised to get consistent 6 - 8x extraction speeds.

I know my home desktop is getting on in years, but it works fine for me. I thought the drive was the main limiting factor in ripping speed. My HP drive does everything else faster than the no-name drive in my work machine. Does CPU speed have that much of an effect on ripping speed? On neither machine do I see much CPU activity in task manager.
