I just discovered another possible bug today.

REACT2 has a problem with slashes "/" in the title.  I have some CDs that have slashes in the title and when I press F10 to make an image the screen just flashes and the Save Waveform window doesn't pop up at all unless I take the slashes out of the title.

Good band by the way. 

Hmm... if I do:

MOVE /Y "C:\Documents and Settings\Neil\Desktop\12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345

67890"

... on my XP laptop it works fine.

I've had a look at this problem and it doesn't look like there's an easy way in NT DOS to get the short file name.  I did find this page, but I wouldn't call the resolve easy.

One option may be for REACT to use short file names by default (AutoIt has built-in functions to get the SFN for a path), or perhaps even to provide some more placeholders, like ~cuesheet~ or ~eaclog~, which return SFN filenames.

I've tried to find where the maximum filename length would be set but with no luck.  Maybe my settings are messed up somewhere.

After React runs, the wave files are not deleted even though I checked Delete WAV after compression in EAC. How do I configure React to delete .wav's after it runs? Can I use the single .cue file created to decompress the .flac tracks to restore to a cd-r for back-up? I've never used .flac before and I'm unsure the best course of action to take for track restoration with React. I had installed flac frontend to decompress the flac tracks, but React would no longer create .flac tracks for new cd's. I apologize if this is hard to follow, but I'm new to flac and React. I'm good with LAME, I'll LAME it up all day long.

That was LAME...

For getting the WAV image and cuesheet deleted afterwards, then you need to set 'Debug' to '0' instead of '1'. If you want a cuesheet for your ripped tracks, then you must set the 'CreateAllCuesheets' to '1' and then all the 4 different cuesheet formats are made, but they are only copied into the directories of lossless formats, though, so if you want a cuesheet into a lossy formats directory, then just copy the changed line a little under here, and place it into your lossy format's track section in your CFG file.

Press ALT+F3 and there you need to scroll down to the '---tracks---' section and then under the FLAC tracks section, then find this line :
Code: [Select]
IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[*].cue" COPY /Y "@albumfile@.[*].cue" .

And then change it to :
Code: [Select]
IF EXIST "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" COPY /Y "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" "@basename@.cue"

Does anybody have any idea how to fix either of these problems?

Thanks Martin H, that's what I was looking for. One more question: which .cue sheet should I use to decode the .flac tracks to burn to a cd-r for back-up? If I read the EAC .cue sheet guide correctly, I want to use the noncompliant sheet, right? Out of the four sheets that React creates, which one is it?

REACT 2 Released

Reply #133
You are very welcome Fameless

The cuesheet you will need is the "multiple files with gaps" i.e. "@albumfile@.[mg].cue" and that should also be copied to your FLAC files directory according to the changes i posted to you previously.

CU, Martin.

I've tried to figure this out on my own, but with no success. I'm trying to create a WavPack image and mp3 tracks. The image comes out fine and in the proper folder, but when it comes to the track creation, it looks like React is running it correctly, but no files are created and all I get is an empty folder. Any ideas?

Edit: Never mind, of course I figured it out five minutes after I posted.

I was looking at using EAC with iTunesEncode and Nero's AAC encoder, along with REACT. I see that support is built in and was looking at the code in the config section and have questions about the following two code segments.  The line before :end_itunes_aac_tracks says "GOTO end_nero_aac_tracks" (see code below)... is this a typo? not sure why the itunes acc section would goto the end of the nero aac section.

In the second code snippet, the one for Nero's encoder, it calls neroAacEnc.exe but doesn't call the nero tagger (neroAacTag.exe), but instead uses some other tagging program.. why is this?  Thanks in advance for any information.

Code: [Select]
IF NOT @iTunesAac@==1 GOTO end_itunes_aac_tracks

I've been looking in the WIKI and configs for a while, but can't seem to figure out:

Is there a way to generate M3U files for track ripping?  (like EAC does normally when it rips tracks)

Thanks,

Does EAC do this normally?  If it does then it probably still can.

If not, I have created a batch file to create an M3U.  It accepts a folder to process and a filename as parameters, e.g.:

@tools@\CREATE-M3U.BAT "@TrackDir_MP3@" "$cdarist$ - $album$"

Here's the code.  If you're interested, copy it into a text file, save it in the REACT "tools" directory as "create-m3u.bat", and then use the line above after your track files have been created.

I am a curremt 1.0 user, but am having some trouble getting 2.0 to work. Here's what I am looking to do:

• Rip to Flac 1.1.3 tracks and Lame 3.97 tracks
• Run Wavegain and store Album-Gain, Album-Peak, Track-Gain and Track-Peak findings in Flac tags and mp3 tags and apply Track-Gain to the mp3s.
• Get album art, save it as folder.jpg in the Flac album folder, embed art in Flac file and mp3 file.

Any sample ini or cfg files out there?

If not, I have created a batch file to create an M3U.  It accepts a folder to process and a filename as parameters, e.g.:
[snip]

I use tag as in:
[snip]


Thanks for both of your suggestions!  I apologize for not finding the script before -- I was not certain if the information from the old threads would apply to the new version.

I'll try those out -- Thanks muchly!

[edit] My understanding as to why EAC doesn't create an M3U automatically when using REACT with image + tracks is due to the behavior when one wants to rip an image as opposed to tracks.  Since EAC is just ripping in bulk, it doesn't send an M3U out including a track listing -- nor could it know that it will end up in FLAC (or whatever format) in the end anyway (to set the M3U file names correctly).

If the Tag solution works I would go with that, seeing as it's already in the tools dir.  I wasn't saying that you should have found my batch file in the other thread - to be fair, it's around 20 pages long - I was just providing a little background to my post.

Ah, I see.  I'm not familiar with EAC's M3U generation.  Thanks for the explanation.

I have CreateAllCuesheets=1, but I am using track creation.  No cuesheets are created.  Are cuesheets created only with image creation?  Further, is there any way to have it create ONLY a non-compliant cuesheet (e.g. the EAC cuesheet that is created when choosing "Create cuesheet with current settings")?  Is there any way to have it replace inside of the cuesheet the string ".wav" with ".flac", and the filenames relative to the position of the cuesheet placement, such to make the cuesheet compatible with the files that are actually outputted?

Another question, if I may.  If it turns out that this is the incorrect place to ask it, please let me know, as I'm new here.

I'm attempting to plan the backup of my CD collection and trying to get the planning right this time -- as I started it earlier only to find out the plan was flawed.  What I'm trying to figure out is if REACT is correct for the job -- I believe it is, but am having some trouble getting the final details correct.

Here's what I'd like to have at the end of the process:
1) I'd like to have a lossless backup of each CD with all of the gaps (and potentially CD-TEXT, although this is less important) preserved.  Whether this backup is easy to listen to (i.e. in Tracks) or just a .flac and a .cue, for instance, is unimportant, although I certainly wouldn't mind having the .flacs in tracks that I could listen to on a regular basis.

2) MP3s of each track to use on portable devices and for standard listening with .M3U to have easy access to the album's correct order.  These would be better without the 'gaps' attached at the end of each track ... although if it's impossible to preserve the album another way, I'd be willing to do it like this.  I like how REACT tags, sets volume information, and adds album art -- I'd certainly like to still have all of this included if possible.

During this process, I'd prefer to use AccurateRip to verify my rips, since I know that some of my CDs are getting old and already starting to get errors (this is part of the reason for backing up now as opposed to later).  Plus, I haven't used these drives for very much secure audio ripping and am still in the process of trusting them.

The problem I've been coming upon is that with REACT and similar tools is in using AccurateRip due to the problem I talked about before with EAC using bulk mode instead of track mode because AccurateRip only functions in track mode.

Is there some way to preserve gaps by creating a .CUE that points to MP3s or WAVs (or requires decoding into WAVs to reburn) -- or otherwise another manner to get a perfect CD backup when ripping to tracks?  Maybe I can use REACT with some sort of script to reconstruct the album after ripping in track mode?

I also noticed it mentioned that there are some problems with album art and volume checking with track ripping -- what are these, and should I avoid this mode due to these problems?

Is there some automated way to do what I'm seeking -- or would it be better to just hit two buttons for each CD (even though the 'image' wouldn't be verified, per se)?

Am I just being overcautious/paranoid and should just use REACT and trust EAC/ignore AccurateRip?

Thanks for your help -- Again, if this should be moved, let me know, and I'll do so.  I'd like to use REACT, since I like its faculties, which is the reason I decided to post this here.

Ok.  I turned Debug on.  Apparently the problem is not with FLAC.  It's right after FLAC encodes and tries to move the cue and FLAC image to the FLAC dir.

Here's where the problem is..

Code: [Select]
C:\EAC>MOVE /Y "C:\EAC\Sublime - What I Got (Very Clean Radio Version) (Promo CD Single GAS5P-3874) [1996].flac" "C:\EAC\FLAC-images\Sublime - What I Got (Very Clean Radio Version) (Promo CD Single GAS5P-3874) [1996]"
The filename or extension is too long.

C:\EAC>MOVE /Y "C:\EAC\Sublime - What I Got (Very Clean Radio Version) (Promo CD Single GAS5P-3874) [1996].cue" "C:\EAC\FLAC-images\Sublime - What I Got (Very Clean Radio Version) (Promo CD Single GAS5P-3874) [1996]"
The filename or extension is too long.
I think I have found a resolve for this (maybe a bit late ):

If you define a label as such:

Code: [Select]
:GetShortPath
SET %2=%~fs1
GOTO:EOF

You can then use:

Code: [Select]
CALL :GetShortPath "C:\This is a long path\to a file.mp3" shortValue

ECHO %shortValue%


Or in the above example:

Code: [Select]
REM Remove original code
REM MOVE /Y "@image@" %dest%
REM MOVE /Y "@cuesheet@" %dest%

REM Create short name variables
CALL :GetShortPath %dest% destShortPath
  CALL :GetShortPath "@image@" imageShortPath
  CALL :GetShortPath "@cuesheet@" cuesheetShortPath

REM Move using short names
MOVE /Y %imageShortPath% %destShortPath%
MOVE /Y %cuesheetShortPath% %destShortPath%
  
...

:GetShortPath
SET %2=%~fs1
GOTO:EOF

May be useful in future... may not be.

Hi all, I want to start by thanking everyone who has worked on this great tool. I am a definate noob as far as ripping and archiving goes, but Ive found so much info here at hydrogenaudio I am almost overwelmed. What I have learned I am now acting on - I am using EAC with React2 to rip to flac for archiving and encode to vbr mp3 using lame for playback. So far everything is going great after reading through most of these posts and the wiki, so thanks again for all of your hard work.

One thing I havent found is how to define "mymusic" within React. currently EAC is ripping wav to a music folder on my desktop which is defined within EAC as the working directory, but then transcodes the flac and mp3 to the EAC folder in "C\docs & settings\my docs\my music". Not a big deal right now, but as the archive gets larger I want to have these files saved onto my D: drive. Can someone tell me how to define the "my music folder?
Thanks!

I have deleted your other post.

@mymusic@ is hard-coded to your "My Music" system folder.  Don't worry about it, just adjust OutRoot accordingly:

Change:

Code: [Select]
OutRoot=@mymusic@\EAC

... to:

Code: [Select]
OutRoot=D:

OutRoot uses @mymusic@ as its base purely as an example, and can be amended to any path you want.

Are cuesheets created only with image creation when CreateAllCuesheets=1?
