Has anyone else encountered the situation I described above?  I've tried using REACT on 3 different PC's with different hardware and I get the same results on all of them.

I actually ended up getting similar results (a folder full of .wav and .flac.tmp files).  I've found after a couple rips that I am having the problem mentioned in previous posts where the REACT.exe tray icon disappears after awhile.  I should mention that the rips were for heavily scratched CD's in Secure mode on a caching drive, so they took more than a day to complete.  I've unfortunately deleted the logs after deciding to use a simpler solution (I'm okay with less automation), but my last section of my REACT log still had a condition of

Code: [Select]

if 0==1

even though it was indeed the last file.  I was using the default FLAC tracks settings.

Do you mean REACT or are you in the wrong thread?

Does anyone have an MP3-TRACKS config that uses album gain and writes v1,v2 and ape tags? Thanks.

Not exactly what you had in mind(no APEv2 tags), but i have a script that you maybe could use ? I use it when i rip CDs for my father(he only wants MP3 track files, and don't want a lossless image for archiving). It will encode to -V2 MP3 track files with ID3v1 tags and also ID3v2 tags when the fields are to big to fit in ID3v1 tags(if you want to have ID3v2 tags made always, then just add "--add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2" to the lame.exe part of the script). Then the MP3 track files are Album Gained(with AG clipping prevention) with the use of mp3gain.exe(i have set mp3gain.exe to not write RG and UNDO tags to the files, but if you want to have those tags, then just remove the "-s s" command from the mp3gain.exe part of the script). If your music folder is in C:, then remove the "D:" from the script. If your music folder isn't in D:, then change "D:" to the correct drive eg F:.
You will need to download and unpack mp3gain.exe and copy it to your REACT\Encoders folder.

SNIP

Note: This script isn't tested! The script that i use, is on my fathers PC, and since i don't have access to it right now, then i have just made the script again from memmory...

CU, Martin.

Edit: I guess it would just be a matter of adding Tag.exe to the script after the LAME MP3 encoding to give the files APEv2 tags. Also if you don't wan't the files to be perminently altered by mp3gain.exe, then i guess that you could just ammend the mp3gain.exe command line to just do an analys of the files, as that would make mp3gain.exe to put APEv2 RG tags to the files, which you then could use on playback.

I haven't tried your script yet or looked through the posts to see if anyone has the same problem I have so I'll do that next.

But the rest of the time EAC will either crash with an unhandled exception or it will detect the gaps, write out the cue files, and then stop.  It never starts ripping the tracks and REACT never starts its scripts.  This seems to happen consistently with certain CDs.  Some CDs work right off the bat, some work after repeated crashes/restarts, and some just never work at all.

Any ideas what's causing this?  Is there some more reliable way to start a FLAC/MP3 tracks encoding other than pressing F4?  (I assume REACT is doing some magic to try to intercept that key in EAC.)

I'm using EAC 0.95b4-cdrdao and REACT 1.000, with wnaspi.dll 2.0.1.74 in the EAC folder.

Essentially, the "various-artists" mechanism breaks down on the album "Artist's choice - Sheryl Crow" that has recordings from many artists including Sheryl Crow.

REACT includes tag.exe which adds id3v1 tags to the resulting tracks. Is there another tagging utility out there that can write id3v2 tags and that could substitute for tag.exe in the REACT configurations? Thanks

To the author of REACT, please review the following thread about the destination folder structure and respond there.

I regret supporting track-based extraction, because it only causes problems, and it is actually not needed: Everything can be achieved with image extraction alone, when using ACDIR for splitting to tracks while compressing.

I wonder if I should make a simpler version of REACT which only supports image extraction (F10) <snip>

/Edit: Synthetic Soul, the reason is that it doesn't work if you don't select the last track when extracting. Yes, I know that file timestamp checking is far from foolproof.
