Application generated exception - error, EAC - Flacattack problem Options

[e268]

I was able to use EAC-Flacattack to make CDimage files as well as individual Flac and mp3 files. But today, my luck ran out. Here is what happend:

I did the usual thing, created a cue file (EAC-Action-Create cue...), then Action-copy selected tracks-compress.

It compressed the first track (in MSDOS Screen) both flac and mp3 files. But, the second track, and sometimes the third track, I have this message:

"Application generated...exception
Process id=Oxe70(3696) Thread id=Oxe74(3700)"

The MSDOS screen stops at "Individual file compression"

I tried changing configuration of flacattack, but same thing happened every time. I am still able to do an image file. What is strange is that it would compressed one or two files before it gives this error message. Please help.

I just had a look at my source code. Flacattack looks at the first line in the cue file that starts with "PERFORMER" and then pulls the value that follows. If that value is exactly equal to "Various" then it believes it is working with a Various Artist CD. If the value is anything else such as "various", "Various Artist", "various artist", etc. it won't work. This is something I wil probably change so that it is case insensitive.

Before you uncheck the box and retype in "Various", does it say "various" (lowercase)?

Anyway, I want to thank you for such great work. It is really nice to have all the compression options all in one place.

You're welcome.

hmm. I put the cd in and it says "Various" and it works now, without any action from me. Tried a few more, and I cannot re-produce the error. Maybe it is some stupid thing that I did. Sorry to have wasted your time.
