Can you give me an album and/or artist name that causes this problem. I'll do some testing on my end and try to replicate it. Ok here's some info for you. Here's the name of the album EAC reports: "Monsieur Gainsbourg: Revisited" This is a Various Artists album. The directory created in my working directory is: \Various Artists\Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited\ At the end of the ripping process, I end up with two orphan files in my working directory: "Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited.cue" and "Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited.log" The forum font makes it difficult to see, but there are two spaces after the word "Gainsbourg" in each filename above. In the \Various Artists\Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited\ directory, there is an empty file named: "00-Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited.cue" This is odd: here is the first line of the debug textfile (after manually moving the CUE sheet into the proper directory):C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\flac.exe -d -o "M:\working\Various Artists\Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited\AutoFLAC\Various Artists\Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited\02-Cat Power & Karen Elson - I Love You (Me Either) (Je t'aime moi non plus) - Cat Power & Karen Elson - I Love You (Me Either) (Je t'aime moi non plus).wav" "M:\working\Various Artists\Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited\Various Artists\Monsieur Gainsbourg- Revisited\02-Cat Power & Karen Elson - I Love You (Me Either) (Je t'aime moi non plus) - Cat Power & Karen Elson - I Love You (Me Either) (Je t'aime moi non plus).flac" Looks like part of the pathname is being appended twice...? I hope this is enough for you to go on, and thanks again for looking at this. Edit: I tried just adding a colon to a CD that didn't have one (and wasn't a Various Artist CD), and got the same result.
