For a long time I had no problems using first Media Jukebox and later Media Center converting all my CDs to MP3s.
But now, I decided to convert my CDs to losless, monkeys audio.
Verifying the first few hundred ape-files brings me to a very strange effect (for me). Ripping a special song from Chicago (from original CD) and converting to ape results in a corrupted file (monkey 3.99, standard in Media Center). This file can't be copied with Explorer and can't be played with any player. Ripping this file with EAC and converting to ape via wapet (monkey 3.99) results in a correct file (same CD, same drive, same computer). There are two other files with the same problem, all others are OK.
I tried a lot, but always the same results and no idea. Maybe there ist an another built of monkey in media center than the official download from monkey? Perhaps I should try it with external compressor in Media center and use download from monkey instead of built in version?
I think I now will go to bed, in germany its near midnight and maybe I will have a solution-dream
