Are you running it on downloaded files? Or files you ripped? Both...errors in AA happen on both.
What do you rip with?Depends... EAC, MC, AudioGrabber...all have produced errors in AA.
What codec do you use?LAME, always LAME. But downloaded, varies obviously, but errors have occurred on 3 different encoders I've seen (XING (old), LAME (different versions, and Fraun.)
Have you tried removing all un-necessary programs?No other progs on system, just MC. Sys tray has 1394 control, Echo audio mixer, LAN icon and clock.
This could turn out to be related to a Windows bug or a driver bug or a virus checker. Anything is possible.True, anything is possible, but unlikely in this event. All users reporting this bug have had three different versions of Windows (98, 2K and XP, though interestingly, only 2k and XP of late) and a varied number of chipsets, processors and audio cards. These would be the top candidates for such a hardware concern. I run no virus monitor software, but all files are run through a viral check on backup, and no file is used until backup, so the system is clean.
Jim is right on, though, that we need to be diligent about finding the common values here. We all know it exists, but why. What type of memory do you have? What type of drive are the files stored on? And be forthcoming, if you're running cracks on your system, who knows, there may be something there. As Jim said, anything is possible.
Let's find this
