once again, help with EAC

[mgh]

Hi All,

I can't beleive I have done it again, but screwed up my EAC settings once again.

My file names, and how the folders are arranged in Windows Explorer are perfect, and the FLAC encoder is working. I have tried every option for "additional command line" that I could find posted.

What I get is two copies, a WAVE file (I do have "delete WAVE file" box checked), and a FLAC file named something like this: 1tmp)!3).flac

The WAVE file is still there, and named correctly.

I am using the additional command line that I pasted from the SD WIKI.:-6 -V --replay-gain -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %s

Naming scheme: %A\%C\%N %T
Various artists naming scheme: Various Artists\%C\%N - %A - %T

I have tried other command lines with the same result, though the name of the flac file will be slightly different.

I am lost again.

Thanks for any help.

Do you have the path to flac.exe correct, e.g. C:\Program Files\FLAC\flac.exe ?

[mgh]

Yes.

I have settings so that the flac converter window opens, and I am geetting a flac file in the folder.

My bad, I have not installed a program to try and play any of the flac files to see if they are OK, but they are there, just without any names.

Thanks for the reply.

Anyone else out there?

I went to the last post I had when I was having a similar problem. I tried what Hercules suggested, but still nothing.

I can not figure out what is going on here.

Can someone give me what they are using for additional command line so I can experiement?

Thanks for any replies.

I think that the files with "tmp" in them are created during the transcoding process from .wav to .flac. Remember that when you rip the CD, EAC will rip to WAV first and then convert them to FLAC.

What you've probably done is kill EAC off after the CD ejects BEFORE it has finished the conversion process from .wav to .flac.

The status bar (at the bottom) will tell you how many conversion tasks are remaining. EAC is clever enough that if you restart it, it will remember where it got to and complete the outstanding conversions.

-8 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

Thanks for the replies.

amcluesent's command line worked. Also looking through those screenshots I could see that I had somehow accidentally changed the "use file extension" to .mp3 instead of .flac.

Many many thanks. I am ready to go again.
