and I neglected the mention that the download link in the first post doesn't seem to be working, or is that just me?

Not working for me either.

Due to a recent computer crash I had to reinstall the computer and configure EAC (0.99pb4) and MAREO again this weekend (sadly no backup of the MAREO-config). Now I cannot get MAREO (6b2) to create any files.

[the problem was me...]

Thank you for a great application!

Hi! I've moved from MAREO 5 to MAREO 6, and I've begun to try using the "album" MP3Gain option. Unfortunately, MAREO seems to be crashing on the MP3Gain module. Here's the important parts of the output (I ran the same thing from the command line to capture the "exception" message)

mareo archival.ini "H:\Music\Daughtry\Daughtry\Itmp0-!55.wav" "H:\Music\Daughtry\Daughtry\Itmp0-!55.mareo" "Daughtry" "Daughtry" "It's Not Over" "01" "2006" "Rock"


(lots of encoders, all successful--the MP3 is definitely before the MP3Gain encoder)

*** PROCESSING ENCODER ORDER # 5 ***
EXECUTE IF = LASTTRACK
NEW EXTENSION = mp3
TEMPORAL FULL NAME = H:\Music\Daughtry\Daughtry\Itmp0-!55.mp3

Here's the ini file text (for the MP3Gain section):

FINALNAME = [TRACKPADDED] - [TITLE]
VAFINALPATH = M:\Unverified Ripped\Portable MP3\Various - [ALBUM]\

CUEFINALNAME = [ARTIST] - [ALBUM]
EXTENSION = mp3
ENCODEREXE = mp3gain.exe
PARAMETERS = /k /a /s r [FINALPATHSHORT]\*.mp3
RENAME = FALSE

I've been messing around with the settings to no avail--I keep on double checking, and I'm pretty sure this is exactly the same stuff as the MP3Gain example in the mareo.ini file. Any ideas? Thanks so much--mareo makes life SOOOO much easier for me =)

I tried to use react, but although it is more powerful it just threw up too many bugs for me to troubleshoot.

One thing that I liked though is the first step in the process which lets you choose the cover art (and embed it if you want to).

I'm currently using Album art downloader - http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/ which is excellent.

What I'd like to be able to do is call it from mareo using the command line - save the chosen album art to a temporary folder, and then either copy it to the final destination and/or embed it in the tags (for M4A for example), and as a last step delete it.

Is there any way of doing this?

I should have mentioned that I always used MAREO 5 in the past but saw lots of posts raving about REACT. It may be more powerful but with power comes complexity. IMO MAREO has just about the right balance. I'm sure there's a way of doing what I want to do with album art, setting up calling album art downloader, and dos scripts as if they were additional decoders, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

If I could solve that problem then it would make ripping and encoding almost totally automatic - all I'd have to do would be to manually add the Artistsort tag where appropriate for use with Squeezecenter.

I'm experiencing the the same crashes. (Vista Home Premium 32 bits)

Anyone can help ?

Help!



Is Mareo 6b2 compatible with EAC .99 prebeta 4? I can't get Mareo to execute. I get an error message "mareo.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" so I get .wav files but never compression.

Hiya kwanbis, I was just wondering if MAREO is still in active development or if you're taking a time out at the moment or is you consider it a complete product? Anyways it'd be nice to know what stage MAREO is currently at.

Many thanks,

AliL

Hi. I kinda stoped developing it, cause i so a decline on interest on it. MAREO was developed mainly for use by the HA community.

I have no problem taking a look at issues to fix.

Just let me know what problem you have, what INI you have, etc.

Read 4 post above please.

Is there a chance that you can put mareo6b2.rar out again, I can't seem to download it anymore.
