Anyone know what this is about? The following error occurs every time I use MAREO to call FLAC.

CODE

ERROR initializing encoder
state = FLAC__FILE_ENCODER_ERROR_OPENING_FILE

The wave file exists, and I know it is not corrupt, because oggenc does fine with it, and so does FLAC if I use the Speek frontend instead of MAREO.

Here's a sample output.

CODE

*** Received Command Line ***

"F:\Archivos de programa\eac\mareo.exe" EAC "Today is the Day.wav" "f:\ogg\Ttmp!
2-29.wav" "f:\ogg\Ttmp!2-29.ogg" "Yo La Tengo" "Today is the Day EP" "Today is t
he Day" "1" "2003" "Rock"

*** Parsed Parameters ***

@program@ (%1) = EAC
@finalname@ (%2) = Today is the Day.wav
@source@ (%3) = f:\ogg\Ttmp!2-29.wav
@dest@ (%4) = f:\ogg\Ttmp!2-29.ogg
@artist@ (%5) = Yo La Tengo
@cdname@ (%6) = Today is the Day EP
@songname@ (%7) = Today is the Day
@track@ (%8) = 1
@year@ (%9) = 2003
@genre@(%10) = Rock

Ogg encodes successfully. Then,

*** Track 2 Parameters ***

Edit: I don't know if it's of any consequence, but I noticed the options are different when I use Speek's frontend on the same file. They are

I guess that happens when you ask FLAC to write to a directory that doesn't exist yet. I inserted a command before the FLAC encoding to create that directory, and now it works.
