Set Debug=1 in the INI file under [Settings]. This will make the encoder window "stay" after it has done its work. Please report any errors you see.

Uncheck the 'EAC options | Tools | Do not open external compressor window' box. I think it should be unchecked by default. The compression window is minimized by default, but you can have it normal by setting 'MinimizeCompressionWindow=0' under [Settings] in the INI file.

/EDIT: The REACT process is not that fragile. You can minimize and hide windows. The only critical part is that EAC must not be minimized when it is about to finish ripping an album, because it then won't write the EAC log file directly after the last wav track (or image), which is vital for REACT to function correctly.

Wolfsong,

I'm not sure why your flac-tracks and ogg-tracks are not working.  But here is my working config of individual flac (w/ RG album and track tags) and ogg (RG album scaled and RG track tags) tracks.

My use file exension is still .eac

My compression options still have it pointed to the REACT.exe directory:
C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\REACT.exe
And my additional command lines haven't changed either:
REACT %o %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" "%x" "%y" "%m" "%e" "%f" "%b" %r

Essentially, I have made no changes, came back to try my newly setup program again (after fussing with Foobar for the past couple of days), and now it's not working.  Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason, my F10 funtion does not work anymore.  I do not believe I changed anything in my settings since it worked.

For some reason, my F10 funtion does not work anymore.  I do not believe I changed anything in my settings since it worked. Is there a different button I can push to begin the process or re-set something to get it going again?  I'm not sure why this has happened.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I have checked my compression settings and eac settings, and everything seems ok.  My .INI file seem fine too.  When I press F10 it appears EAC just refreshes or something.  I see it blink quickly but nothing happens.

Can you be specific when you say "now it's not working"? What is "it"? Are the files not created? Do you get an error?

2) In the tags comment lines of the mp3 it says it has applied AG: XXXX. Does this mean the track has been "normalized" to album gain or does it mean it would play at the tagged album gain level on a Replay Gain compatible player? I don't happen to have a Replay Gain compatible player, so is there anyway to nomalize (mp3gain to 89db maybe) the track for use with a portable as part of the REACT process?

Is there a way to get Genre's with spaces to work? If I choose Easy Listening of New Age for instance it says it doesn't recognize it and uses Other instead.

I think there is something buggy about Genre in Tag.exe.

@ocluke (and everyone else):  'Save image + cuesheet' (F10 in REACT) may sometimes only make a blink in EAC, and does not bring up the save dialog. This is an EAC bug, which happens when Artist or Album contains any of the following characters: /\|":<>
Replace these letters with something else, and press F10 twice.

Both CDs did have a ":" in the album name, so I presume that was the issue.  Now the extraction and compression process happens.  However, there is a new issue.  My result now is 2 directories: one with the MP3 file, and one with the .CUE file only, not the .WV file.  What could be causing this to happen?  I know when the process is complete I end with a command prompt that looks like the following:



I end up with that command prompt and the EAC window saying it is still compressing the file.  When I press any key in the command prompt EAC says it is finished, however I only end up with the MP3 files and the .CUE file, not the .WV image.

ocluke, your windows doesn't show the result of the wavpack line. But if you use the standard WV_MP3 profile, I've had no problems with that so far.

synthetic soul, grombulk is right. The problem is acdir, or in fact EAC again: The bug is that EAC doesn't quote the genre in the REM GENRE line in the cue file, as it should.

With acdir, add genre tag like grombulk suggested.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=344672"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I think it's a bug in acdir.exe.
Are you using that?

try --tg $q@GENRE@$q  in that line, solved my problems ("Death Metal"   ).

synthetic soul, grombulk is right. The problem is acdir, or in fact EAC again: The bug is that EAC doesn't quote the genre in the REM GENRE line in the cue file, as it should.

ocluke, as mentioned above, change
--ty $#r{DATE} --tg $#r{GENRE}
to
--ty $q@year@$q --tg $q@genre@$q

synthetic soul: Na, latest EAC quotes all REM items which can have spaces, EXCEPT genre. (I think   )

/add: ocluke, You only need to press F10 twice when you have changed illegal chars to legal. Normally only once, of course.

wavpack is complaining about a missing log file that it tries to embed in the image, and therefore quits.

For some reason, the 'Extraction Audio Data' dialog apparently didn't automatically get closed by REACT after extraction was done (which causes the log file to be saved by EAC).  Only thing I can think of is that you minimized EAC, but that I've told not to do many times, so I guess not. (It's sad that EAC doesn't simply save the log file directly after the image or last track, instead of waiting until the dialog box is closed).

/add: I suppose the problem could be that the log file is saved a little too late, and is not ready when the wavpack command is issued. There is put in a small delay before running the compression commands, though (but maybe too small).

If you can't find a cure, remove the symptom. Delete: -w "EACLOG=@@eaclog@" from the wavpack line.

PS: As you may have understood, you must set Debug=0 in the INI again so that the compression window is automatically closed after its work, but it has nothing to do with the missing log file problem.

Please, try to figure out what may cause the problem yourself before asking. E.g this time there was a clear wavpack error message which also you could have seen.
