Album ripped (15 tracks), initially play, but then deleted

[Michael Smith]

I've ripped this album 3 times.  After ripping, the tracks appear and will play.  But then, shortly thereafter, all the tracks are deleted.  The album remains in the list, but with no tracks.  Settings & Status still show 15 WAV files, but after a rescan they are gone.

Hi Michael,

I think that the problem is as follows.

Your Brennan is initially ripping the CD and is storing the tracks as '.wav' tracks.  This is normal.  At this point it is possible to play the '.wav' tracks.

However, there is a second stage to the process, called the compression stage.  This takes the 'wav' files and converts them to '.flac' or '.mp3' depending on which compression type that you have selected. As each '.wav' track is converted it is deleted.

This compression stage begins when the Brennan goes into 'Standby mode', which is 5 minutes with no activity on the Brennan and with the WebUI closed down.

It could be that you are trying to play the music while the Brennan is compressing and deleting the '.wav' files.  The Brennan is possibly getting confused.  After a 'Scan Disk' is run, the '.wav' files should disappear and be replaced with the '.flac' equivalents.

If the album is still missing, you could re-rip the CD and then let the Brennan run and complete the compression cycle, then all should be well.  The compression cycle will take about 20 - 25 minutes for your 15 tracks.  When compression is running, you will see the red light on the front panel fashing rapidly.

Regards,

Peter

[Michael Smith]

I deleted, the re-ripped the album.  Showed 15 tracks.  I then manually selected "Compress Now".  It appeared to try compressing track 1/15 for a while, but the percentage never changed.  Then it just stopped.  Hitting "Compress Now" again and nothing happens. Re-scanned and the WAV tracks disappeared; no tracks in the album :-(

[Peter Lowham]

Hi Michael,

Is there anything special about the first track?  The Brennan does the compression in the order in which the tracks were ripped, and if a ripped track is corrupt it will act as a 'blocker', i.e. the Brennan cannot bypass the bad track.

So, one way to test this would be to re-rip the CD (yet again!!) and delete track 1 and run 'Compress now'.  Then see if compression starts.  If not, then delete track 2 and repeat.

Regards,

Peter.

[Michael Smith]

I will give that a try later.  At the moment I'm just using the B2 as a CD player to play this CD.  So far (I'm now on track 5), it is playing without any problems...

[Peter Lowham]

Hi Michael,

That is interesting!  It sounds like the tracks on the CD are OK.  On looking back, I note that your B2 is running 'B2B Jul 26 2021'.  There is a fix for a CDDB matching problem in the 'B2B Sep 17 2021' version, so it would be worth thinking about doing a 'Web Upgrade' and retesting.

Regards,

Peter.

[Michael Smith]

Hi Peter,

The B2 just finished playing all 15 tracks with no issues.  Meanwhile, I had already upgraded to Software Version B2B Sep 17 2021 07:56:05.  Re-ripped, deleted the first track and tried to "Compress Now".  No joy.  Album and tracks appear to be there, but don't play or freezes when I try.  Did a Rescan.  Why do all the .WAV files disappear after a Rescan?  BTW, one other thing I noticed, is that when it loads the CD it finds the name of the Artist and all the track names, but the Album Name is blank/empty?

Thanks for your help!

Michael

[Michael Smith]

Update: the blank/empty Album Name issue bothered me a bit (knowing how weird software can be about things).  So I selected the other setting and ripped it as 'Album 735'.  Well, bottom line is that seems to have resolved all issues.

[Peter Lowham]

Hi Michael,

I was just thinking about the blank album name and the fact that the track names were correct.  I think that there are one or two software bugs lurking around there!

Anyway, that information is good to know so thanks for this update.

Regards,

Peter.

[Michael Smith]

Thanks.  Glad I was able to work around it.

[PMB]

Hi Michael,

Glad you found a workaround. So the CDDB returned Artist and Track info but no Album name in this case?

Hi All,

On a practical note, if you are posting the debug list it is best to do it as an attachment. Saves a lot of scrolling...

[Michael Smith]

Yes.  Not sure if it returned blank, or no response at all, for Album name.
