Full Version: Flac Image and Flac plus mp3 tracks
Hydrogenaudio Forums > CD-R and Audio Hardware > CD Hardware/Software
cesmith5600
I am new to REACT and need some help. I have used EAC successfully for a number of years to rip mp3 files. REACT looks like great tool but I can't seem to get it to do exactly what I want. Maybe it can't be done. I have read through many of the posts but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

I want to do the following with REACT 2.0 in a single extraction

1) Flacc image plus cue sheet - this will be for archiving (several hundred cds)

2) Flacc and mp3 tracks - Flac will be used for high quality reproduction and distribution of music in my home and mp3 will be used on my portable players.

With the setup below I am getting mp3 and flacc tracks in flacc and mp3 folders as well as a cue sheet in a flacc-image folder but no flac image file when I use the copy image and cue sheet action.

I am using EAC 0.99pb3.

Thanks

There's no reason that you can't do what you want to do.

Try setting Debug=1 in your INI to see why no FLAC image is created.

NB: I may move this thread to the REACT thread once you have responded, as all REACT discussion tends to go on there.

Thank you for getting back to me. I set debug =1 and extracted another disc. I really don't know what I am looking for but there seems to be a missing file.

I see the following two lines in the script

M:\FLAC\Artist\Title>COPY Y "M\title.log" "EAClog.txt"
The syetem cannot find the specified file.

Thanks. Let me know if you move this to another area.

I'm not sure that this will solve yor missing FLAC image, but it seems that you should upgrade REACT.EXE to my mod. EAC 0.99 prebeta 1 saw a new naming format for the log, and the official REACT release still looks for the old-style log.

I still have no clue, fom the information you have provided, why you are not getting a FLAC image - so here's hoping that using my mod will help here also.

Thanks again for getiting back to me. This morning I ran the following tests.

1) Native EAC 0.99pb3 with Copy Image and Create Cue sheet set up for FLAC. I got the image file, cue sheet and EAC log in the right drive but it did not create the correct sub directory structure. I can deal with this later, at least I got the FLAC image file.

2) I downlaoded and ran your mod. Unfortunately I got the same result that I reported yesterday with REACT set up for EAC 0.99pb3: a FLAC cue sheet, mp3 tracts and FLAC tracts in all the right directories but no FLAC Image file.

I ran your mod with debug =1 so I can copy the DOS Batch scripts into a word document and send them to you if you are interested.

This is a really nice tool. I hope I can get it to work.

Are you pressing F10 to start the rip, or using the menu? You should be pressing F10. Again, I'm not sure if this will resolve your main issue - I'm still quite clueless about the specific cause.

Please just post the debug output in this thread, surrounding it in [CODEBOX] tags.

I'm sure that we can resolve this quite quickly.

Here is the cosd you requested. I used F10 to start the extraction. Thank you

It seems that the cuesheet is not called "M:\The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat A Peach (Remasters).cue" - FLAC is failing to find it, as well as the subsequent attempted MOVE. It also looks like the log is not called "M:\Eat A Peach (Remasters).log", as FLAC reports two failed --tag-from-file calls.

I'm a bit confused about the log file naming. EAC 0.99 uses the same format as the image and cuesheet for the log file in image mode - so it should be called "M:\The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat A Peach (Remasters).log" - so no surprise that it was not found. Older version of EAC would have used "M:\Eat A Peach (Remasters).log" ("<album>.log").

I should really know this, but I'm still having problems diagnosing the actual cause of all this.

In the interim, can I suggest that you perform a rip and note what the cuesheet and log are actually called?

In turn, I will see if I can get my brain into gear.

It also may be worth adding DebugMode=1 to the [UserSettings] seection of your INI. After you have performed a rip check your REACT folder and paste the contents of "debugging.txt" here. (To stop this file gettting bigger and bigger set DebugMode to 0, or remove the item again - you may want to leave it on until we have resolved your issue though.)

It also may be worth adding DebugMode=1 to the [UserSettings] seection of your INI. After you have performed a rip check your REACT folder and paste the contents of "debugging.txt" here. (To stop this file gettting bigger and bigger set DebugMode to 0, or remove the item again - you may want to leave it on until we have resolved your issue though.)


Here is the information you requested. It is from the rip that generated the code I sent yesterday (above)

Eac log filename = The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat a Peach (Remasters). It is listed as a text file. It was put in the M:\ directory - no sub directory

Cue sheet filename = The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat a Peach (Remasters). It is listed as an image file. It was put in the M:\ Flac-image directory

I didn't know the difference between code and codebox - Thanks for helping out.

Let me know if you need anything else. I am out of the office for a couple of days. This should give you some time to get your brain engaged on this problem. Hopefully there will be a solution that will help others as well.

I guess you don't have file extensions showing in Windows.

The log file should be "The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat a Peach (Remasters).log". I would expect it to be in "M:\". What really confuses me is that REACT is looking for "Eat a Peach (Remasters).log". This should only happen if "The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat a Peach (Remasters).log" doesn't exist, and "Eat a Peach (Remasters).log" does.

The cuesheet may have ended up in "M:\ Flac-image", but only after REACT moved it there. EAC should have put it in "M:\" also. I would expect it to be called "The Allman Brothers Band - [1972] Eat a Peach (Remasters).cue". If it did start in "M:\" why can't it be found by the batch file?

Have you tried with other discs? I'm wondering if the filename is an issue somehow (the brackets being the only possible reason). That's really clutching at straws though.

I think I need to see your CFG, so I can test it myself. Please post using CODEBOX.

I'd also still like to see the output of debugging.txt - this will require you to re-rip (see above).

Personally I don't think that this will help others - I think it's one silly little mistake that has yet to come to light. That's what makes it so frustrating.

I have experienced the same thing. However it clearly reads at least one of EAC's compression options, because the .cue reads my file extension setting (which I discovered when I tried to set the compression engine to flac.exe manually, but forgot to change the .eac suffix). In other words, I can get the .cue files to point at a .flac while the images are .wav -- meaning that I could just batch convert afterwards.

There is one little detail I wonder could have something to do with it, although my suspicion is basically ignorant speculation. When I run the script -- that is, not the .exe but the au3 file (I have AutoIT installed), and I hit Alt-F3, I get an error message: it asks me for the file REACT 2.0.ssb16h-image.cfg (rather than REACT-image.cfg). So my idea -- no, I have not reviewed the code -- is that perchance it could be that at some point it tries to read a configuration file which does not exist.

(I guess this post is just as relevant to the REACT thread yes -- feel absolutely free to move it.)

Oh, edit: thanks a lot for the work you have put into it.

This is solely as the function tries to load "<application name>-image.cfg" into Notepad. If you rename the au3 to "REACT.au3" it would work.

In normal usage this would always be "REACT" - for both Tycho's original and my mod.

As you suggested I ripped a different CD. Same issue as before. The config file from that rip is below. Windows is not letting me see the extansions of the EAC log file and Cue sheet. The script from the batch file is also attached in a seperate codebox. I am assuming that this is what you mean by the debugging text.

It also may be worth adding DebugMode=1 to the [UserSettings] seection of your INI. After you have performed a rip check your REACT folder and paste the contents of "debugging.txt" here. (To stop this file gettting bigger and bigger set DebugMode to 0, or remove the item again - you may want to leave it on until we have resolved your issue though.)

Edit: It may also be worth downloading the debug version of b16h I created for another user beforehand, as this writes more debug info and may help me/us diagnose the issue more easily.

No worries. I'll download and run your debug prroram and little later.

I could not get your debug version to run. Got an error message saying I was missing a ,.cgf file. Let me know if there is something else I can do or try.

Thanks

Please tell me that you didn't delete your whole REACT folder.

The file in that zip, REACT.exe, is purely meant to overwrite th existing exe.

If you've deleted your CFG files, perhaps you should download my updated versions. If you've deleted the tools directory and stuff as well then you may need to download the official version.


NB: I have no clues about your problem. The only chance I have is the output in debugging.txt.

OK, here is what I did. I unzipped the debug file and extracted the contents to a different directory than the currently installed official version.. I then double clicked on the react.exe file. I got a message asking if I wanted to configure eac for use with react. I clicked yes. Based on your comment above that this file was only meant to overwrite the existing .exe file of the official version I ran react from the official version. Before ripping I checked the compression options tab and it pointed to the debug directory and .exe file. I ripped a CD using F10 to start. No degug file was created. The only thing that was created was a flac cue sheet and the EAC log. I have no idea what to do next. I really appreciate your time but it seems that without the debug txt file we don't have a clue what to do. Unless someone can point me in the right direction I am going to look at other options.

Again, thank you for all your time and help.

Here's what to do:
  1. Amend your original INI as above.
  2. Overwrite your original REACT.exe with the b16h_debug EXE.
  3. Run REACT.
  4. Hit Ctrl+F2 to reconfigure EAC.
  5. Run REACT.
  6. Rip a disc, or two.
  7. Check your original REACT folder and look for debugging.txt.
  8. Paste it here.

I have followed your directions as posted and no debugging text is generated. I tried this several times and searched all possible directories. I appreciate all your help but I am going to look for another solution.

Thank you - Craig

Ok, this is very odd, I am at the same point with the same problem and suspect the [] brackets are the cause of the missing file.

OK, I found my probelm. I was using React 2 without the required modified binares.

React 2 is not compatible with any .99 release of EAC. I thought since the wiki post said not compatible with .99 Beta 1, that Beta 3 was safe. It's not.

If you want to run the latest version of EAC you need to get Synthetic Soul's modified version. It will work flawlessly. Thank you Synthetic Soul for putting the effort in to helping us.
