Encoding to WMA
« on: June 28, 2017, 01:05:05 pm »
When I try to rip a disc to .wma I get the following error message:
Read track failed. Failed to initialise the encoder plugin.
Any suggestions as to how to rectify

Many thanks
Colin

I don't work for JRiver... I help keep the forums safe from "male enhancements" and other sources of sketchy pharmaceuticals.

JRiver encoding to WMA stopped working when Microsoft bizarrely updated Windows 10 and essentially broke the CODEC. MC developers prudently did not bother to try to keep up with what stupidly became a moving target.

My entire music collection was in WMA. Following MC forum advice, I switched to FLAC encoding. WMA still decodes without issue.

I think the issue for some users was/is that they need WMA for their cars/handheld devices...

I'll leave those files available for as long as this work-around erm... works/is required :)

Goes with my theory that no one has ever encoded to WMA by choice.
