Mareo & EAC Settings

[broth420]

I am trying to set up Mareo to rip both flac and mp3. I am using EAC as my ripper. Can someone help me with this. Most of the information I can find is either wrong or horribly outdated, and I am getting an error after EAC is done ripping and attempting to pull mareo as the encoder. I have attached a jpg of both my compression options from EAC and the error I am getting.

Here is a copy of my modifications to the mareo.ini file:

; —————————————————————————————————————————
; FLAC ENCODER ORDER
; —————————————————————————————————————————
EXECUTEIF = TRUE
FINALPATH = E:\MUSIC\Mareo\Flac\[artist] [album]\
FINALNAME = [track] [title]
EXTENSION = flac
ENCODEREXE = C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\Flac\flac.exe
PARAMETERS = -5 "[source]" -o "[DESTTMP]" -T artist="[artist]" -T album="[album]" -T title="[title]" -T tracknumber="[track]" -T date="[year]" -T genre="[genre]"
RENAME = FALSE

; —————————————————————————————————————————
; MP3 ENCODER ORDER
; —————————————————————————————————————————
EXECUTEIF = TRUE
FINALPATH = E:\MUSIC\Mareo\MP3\[artist] [album]\
FINALNAME = [track] [title]
EXTENSION = mp3
ENCODEREXE = C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\Lame\lame.exe
PARAMETERS = -V1 --vbr-new --ignore-tag-errors --ta "[ARTIST]" --tl "[ALBUM]" --tt "[TITLE]" --tn "[TRACK]" --ty "[YEAR]" --tg "[GENRE]" "[SOURCE]" "[DESTTMP]"
RENAME = FALSE




Any help would be great. This can't be that difficult. I just don't know what I am missing.
Thanks in advance

Well, I'm using an older version of Mareo so could be missing something here... but one thing you might want to try is making sure that you pass the full path to the mareo.ini file, making sure you put "quotes" around it if there is a space in there somewhere, instead of just the filename (first parameter in the options string).

here is what I changed it too:
"C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\mareo\mareo.ini" %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m"

I also moved the encoders to no space folder names at the root of c:\

Here we go...

nope, didn't work.

I'd recommend switching to REACT - another EAC utility. I gave up on MAREO as being counterintuitive. It's here:

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=REACT

Load it up and hit ALT-F2 to bring up the INI file in Notepad. Edit this section:

[UserTrackFormats]
Flac=1
Wavpack=0
LameMP3=1
NeroAac=0
iTunesAac=0
OggEnc2=0

Then load up the CD and hit F10.

Should get you started. If you want to edit LAME and FLAC options change the last section in the INI file.

That works awesome. Thanks for the tip. I am sure Mareo is a great product, but I can't figure it out. React works awesome.
I have got everything tuned the way I want it, but I am wondering how I turn track "1" into track "01" or even "001" in the tag? I figured out how to do it with flac (see below), but the mp3 file tags are not working.


Change section " -T tracknumbers="@track@" " to " -T tracknumbers="$track$" " in the following section:


IF NOT @Flac@==1 GOTO end_flac_tracks
IF NOT EXIST %TrackDir_Flac% MKDIR %TrackDir_Flac%
PUSHD %TrackDir_Flac%
IF @various@==1 SET VA_tag=-T "album artist=@VA@"
IF %embed_cover%==1 SET Cover_tag=--picture="|image/jpeg|||@cover@"
ECHO ON
@tools@\flac.exe @Opt_Flac@ %Cover_tag% %VA_tag% -T artist="@artist@" -T album="@album@" -T tracknumber="$track$" -T title="@title@" -T date="@year@" -T genre="@genre@" -T comment="@comment@" -T encoded-by="%USERNAME%" -T encoding="Flac @Ver_Flac@ @Opt_Flac@" "@source@" -o "%TrackName%.flac"
@ECHO OFF
IF %have_cover%==1 IF NOT EXIST folder.jpg COPY "@cover@" folder.jpg
POPD
