CDxtract4 crash during batch conversion

Hi there,

i tried to convert a MPC 2000 CD into battery kits.
Doing single programs works fine, but any
batch conversion causes cdxtract 4 to crash immediately.

I have written a bug report a few days ago, but got no answer yet. Anyone have the same problems?

I´m using it on a XPSP2 machine, no external ASPI
installed.

TIA

I find CDXtract can mis-read loop points on some kinds of samples, they can be reversed or different on each stereo channel, which when you try to convert, causes the program to crash. Incidentally, when you try to play them they also crash, you'll have to convert the files individually, looking at the waveforms for errors, or wait for a corrected version.

Oh yeah, you need to turn off auto-play when you're looking through the waveforms, or the offending ones will crash the program.

This is the only problem I've had with CDXtract, it might not be your problem, but I have a feeling it probably is.

Thank you for your answers at lightning speed. :D

I don´t know, if the programs even contain looppoints,
but it´s useful to know about that issue..

I´ll check out that autorun thing.
Do you mean autorun option at the driveoptions/win
or autolisten in cdxtract?

Well,if they don't, I guess that's not the issue at hand. Also, I'm still on SP1 so I don't know if CDXTract has issues with SP2 or not.

I meant the autolisten feature in CDXtract, it's not an issue for batch conversions, but if you have to manually convert programs and you are looking for buggy loop points and such, have that turned off.

The loop point thing has only happened to me twice, but they were Akai format CD's that I was trying to convert to SF2's. I assume it was from an error in the ISO files as ripping from the CD worked out fine.
