Unfortunately my strategy didn't work as planned....

1. convert to wavpack
worked ok.... sort of..... I think I found a bug: if you tell mareo to save the wavpack files and wave files in the same directory, after the wavpack compression the wavpack files are deleted and only the wave files are available.

If you tell mareo to save the wavpacks and waves in differente folders it works ok (ie, both are kept).

2. apply wvgain in the wavpacks
Only works if waves and wavpacks are saved in different folders.

3. scale the original wavs with wavegain
This works ok.

4. convert to vorbis with oggenc
This definitively does not work because oggenc (and oggenc2) does not accept wildcards

doesn't seem to be a mareo problem, but a oggenc problem. I have to use the wildcards because encoding to vorbis should be done only after scaling with wavegain.
The only solution I can think of is using the --FLAC-scale option in oggenc but that would cause the same wildcard problem I think... And would force me to use FLAC...
I cannot preserve the tags either because oggenc runs only after all tracks are ripped with EAC.
I'm running out of ideas for this step. Do you have any kwanbis (or anyone else)? I want to encode to ogg from scaled files (from wavs with wavegain or using the replaygain tags from the wavpacks to scale the tracks, does not matter any will do) if possible I would also like to keep the tags.

Another thing: the mareolast.ini file does not add a leading zero to the number of tracks (if I report 6 or 06 tracks to the mareolast.exe program is saves only 6 in the mareolast.ini) and this causes problems because EAC reports tracks with a leading zero (06 in this case).
Also the mareo.log file records an error when trying to delete the mareolast.ini file and the file is not deleted after processing.

This evening I can post my ini file and the logfiles if you need.

Thanks for the support.

How can I get the path passed into parameters?

I have tried using the different path variables with and without double quotes with no luck.

FINAL Path Only = D:\Transcode\AC_DC\Back in Black

If I use this in the ini:
PARAMETERS = -a @finalpathonly@\*.wv

I get this as the result:
EXECUTING: D:\Encoders\wvgain.exe -a @finalpathonly@\*.wv ... EXECUTION **ERROR**

I can't use "@artist@" because of the "/" in the artist name.
@artist@ (%4) = AC/DC

Thanks for your help.

Hi there

A little tip for all you PlexTools users:
If you wish to start with your file conversion to a non .mp3 file like lets say to a .wv file, then the ripper won't recognize the ID3 tags anymore and the files won't be named, which results in one file beeing overwritten several times (because WavPack is not a native supported encoder by PlexTools). The result will be a lot of wasted time and only one track on your HD (the last selected).
So to solve this problem, just tell PlexTools that the first file you're encoding to is a .mp3 file. PlexTools ignores the file endings which you define in use with MAREO anyway.

I'd like to request a small(?) addition.
I'd like to have the ability to pad the tracknumber.

@track@,2
If the track already is 2 digits no problem, if it is not, pad it with a zero.

I had some files that for some reason were created properly (artist - nn - title), but the track tag was a single digit. Passing the calculated filename to mp3gain of course failed. Mareo did not catch the failure by the way. Mareo saw mp3gain start and reported success. mp3gain said it could not open the file.

Be nice to catch failures too, maybe write them to an error log. With this problem, the only log to view was the final encoding log which since the track number was >10 had no problem.

Sorry if it is confusing. Too much cold medicine today...

I second the zero-padding option.

Ever since using MAREO 3.2 the tracknumber issue in PlexTools is solved, but I can't rename my extracted files anymore.
I thought it had something to do with plextools, so I tried the same thing with EAC. But the renaming still didn't work.
Something must be wrong then in my .ini setup, but I can't figure out what.

Any clues?

MAREO 3.3 is on the page now. It should be "bug free"™.

Regarding the EAC crashing, IIRC, do you have "Do not open external compressor window" checked? You shouldn't IIRC.

Everything works fine now with PlexTools Professional XL and MAREO. So I figured that it would be nice, if the documentation could be updatet by one ripping application.

The setup for PlexTools Professional XL would be the following:

-----------------

PlexTools Professional XL Setup Example

Choose Disc Functions, then Disc Extraction in the Functions Window .

1. Output Path: The folder where you want to store the temporary Wave files.

Press the Preferences Button => Disc Extraction.

2. Audio Format: Choose External Encoder

Press the Extra Options button.

3. Select the program: MAREO’s full path.
4. Command Line Arguments: mareo.ini %S %O "%A" "%C" "%T" "%N" %Y "%G"
5. File Extension: Always choose .mp3!
6. Tag info is included in the command line arguments: checked.

The Filename Options under Disc Extraction just name the temporary Wave files after the user defined naming scheme, not the files encoded with MAREO. PlexTools Professional XL delets the Wave files automatically, so the DeleteWavFile option in mareo.ini is always FALSE.

-----------------

If this would be an option, I could also send a setup picture like the ones for EAC & co.

Hope this is usefull for all you PlexTools users!

Important!!!

A little (and very important) addition to the setup file for PTPXL!

-----------------

In the trackfield under Disc Extraction, one needs to rightclick on a track and choose MP3 ID3 Tag. Make sure, that you choose freedb in the 'Get CD TEXT from' field at the bottom! (I think this tweak only has to be applied once. PTPXL will save the configuration)

-----------------

My thanks go to madxcream for discovering this issue. I didn't notice this, because it already was my default setting! Sorry folks.

Please write in this thread if any other of you PTPXL users should experience problems with MAREO.

I tried using @destfinalnameonly@ and @desttmpnameonly@ and it doesn't work either. The reason for this is that I use Plextools and create a cue sheet and playlist file with it. I want my file names to be for like this "03 - Calling On You" and doing this withing mareo itslef ends up being "3 - Calling On You" so the cuesheet and playlist have the wrong info. So I would like to keep the original name passed to mareo from plextools and that is why I'm trying to use these variables for the FILENAME = . Thanks.

Mainly because Mareo doesn't pad the track numbers. I have plextools create a cue sheet and playlist file. I have plextools set up the track name as so: "track - title" . So for example it would be "01 - Little Green Men.mp3"

In Mareo I set it up as @track@ - @title@ which would become "1 - Little Green Men.mp3".

The filename becomes different, therefore when the playlist created and the cue sheet created by plextools won't work. I don't feel like editing those files on every cd I do.

So I was trying to use the @tmpnameonly@ so it uses the "01 - Little Green Men" passed by Plextools.

I hope I'm making sense to you. Thanks.

Has anyone else noticed that if you are creating mp3 files, and you have the file extention set to `.mp3' in EAC, it deletes the mp3 when MAREO is finished encoding the track?

If I change it to `.m4a' in EAC, it deletes the .m4a file MAREO creates.

I finally changed it to `.m32' (a file extention I don't use) and life is good again.

Now to figure out why MAREO is crashing again when I spin up multiple instances of it... I've noticed that the mareo.ini file is locked for writing when MAREO is running.

MAREO shouldn't be locking the INI. Is in read-shared mode. What he could be locking, is the LOG file. If you set it to not write to a LOG file, it shoul be ok.

It would be very helpfull if you report your findings.

A screen shot of my EAC settings.

So I've got MAREO set to delete the wave file, and EAC set to not delete the wave file.

The first thing I notice is that I've got DeleteWavFile = TRUE in the ini, but the in parameters in the log say DeleteWavFile = FALSE.

If I monitor the file system as MAREO is running, I notice that the mp3 file is created, and then the m4a file, and then as MAREO exits, the mp3 file is deleted and the wave file and the m4a file remain.

If I repeat the experiment, with the only difference being that I change the file extention in EAC to .m32

then the wave file, the m4a file and the mp3 file all remain.

It is exactly the same (except for EAC's random temporary file names). The m4a extention is what iTunes requires mp4 files to have in order to transfer them to the iPod incase anyone was wondering.

Mareo works perfectly for me now. For anyone using mareoLAST.ini and padding the track numbers, make sure to add the 0 also in mareoLAST.ini. So if there are 8 tracks and you are using mareoLAST.ini and padding, put 08 not 8 else it won't work.

I use Mareo with Plextools to create wavepack, mp3, use wvgain, create par2 files for my wavepackfiels, and then I've created an autoit script to copy over the log, cue sheet, and m3u files to the right directories. I also use albumart which is the only clicking I have to do. I'm going to test some cd's to see if the most relevant cover is always first, and if so maybe create an autoit script to do this automatically also.

Thanks kwanbis for your awesome utility.

You can automate that with MAREO:

2) inside it, put: copy %1 %2
3) Now, that would need to run when MAREO ends ripping the whole album, so, add to MAREO.ini an encoder like this:

ONLYIFLAST = TRUE
PATH = C:\Music\@artist@ - @album@\
FILENAME = C:\Music\@artist@ - @album@\@artist@ - @album@
EXTENSION = log
ENCODER = MAREOrename.cmd
PARAMETERS = FULL_PATH_TO_THE_LOG_FILE @destfinalfullname@
RENAME = FALSE

Is it somehow possible to automate mareoLAST by passing in %x as a user defined parameter from EAC? (%x being the total number of tracks)

There might be a bug, kwanbis!

I set up MAREO to produce mp3s (with id3- and ape-tags, so i had to use wapet.exe) and flac-files. I think i got everything as it should but the mp3 got deleted and the wav stayed. The old problem again...

MAREO only works as supposed if i put the "RENAME"-line between "ENCODER" and "PARAMETERS". It also works if it is under "ONLYIFLAST", but not if it is below "PARAMETERS" (or in the last line of the block?).

According to the log-file mareo ignored the "RENAME"-line of the second encoder and took the setting of the first encoder while the first encoder didn't have a setting for "RENAME". That's why i tried to move up this line.

Other strange thing: i tried to add a "totaltracks"-tag to the files (thats why i use wapet). "%x" in EAC gives it to MAREO as the 10th parameter but both wapet and flac write @1@ to the tag-field. Is MAREO ignoring the 10th placeholder? The log-file says it's recieving the Totaltracks-parameter and is listing it (for example "12") but in the command lines of the encoders "@1@" appears instead of "12". I also tried "@10@" to "@13@" in the parameter-line with no effect.

Here my almost working ini:

CODE

PaddingZeros = 2

LogToScreen = TRUE

LogToFile = TRUE

DeleteWavFile = FALSE

; LAME mp3 with ID3v1 and APEv2 TAGS (requires wapet.exe)

I also found I had to re-arrange the order of the encoder block lines. I forgot to mention that, but you can see it in my previously posted ini file.

First i wanted to referr to your problem but then i mentioned that you had rearranged the lines, too. Now it works for me up to the part with the totaltracks-field.

EAC deletes the wav and i also wrote "mp3" as file-extension in the EAC encoder settings.

One more problem i had was that wapet didn't find the lame.exe at first. I fixed this by creating a special folder "encoder" within the EAC directory and put mareo, wapet, lame and flac into this folder. Should also work if i put all encoders into the mareo-directory.

@kwanbis: what files besides mareo.exe and mareo.ini are essential for mareo to work?

MAREO's only files are mareo.exe and mareo.ini.

Now, let me introduce you MAREO 4.0 BETA1:

1) the placeholders are called <XXXX> instead of @XXXX@, which looks cleaner.
2) It recongizes virtual folders, and it can be used as in placeholders:
<APPDATA> <CDBURN_AREA> <COMMON MUSIC> <DESKTOP> <DESKTOPDIRECTORY> <LOCAL_APPDATA> <MYDOCUMENTS> <MYMUSIC> <MYPICTURES> <MYVIDEO> <PERSONAL> <PHOTOALBUMS> <PLAYLISTS> <PROFILE> <PROGRAM_FILES> <PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON> <PROGRAMS> <SYSTEM> <WINDOWS>
3) It undestands the "filename friendly" placeholders: <cleanartist> <cleanalbum> <cleantitle> <cleantrack> <cleanyear> <cleangenre>
4) If you specify the Lastrack option as 1, it matches at 1, or at 01.
