Title: Crashes when converting then copy to iPod
Post by: mcmSEA on July 01, 2003, 10:08:27 pm

Hello - MC9 seems like a fabulous product but I'm encoutering problems with trying the following:

1) All my tunes are ripped locally as WMA9 lossless

2) have 20Mb iPod, works fine, can see as drive etc.

3) I select ~14 files then 'CDs, DVDs and Handhelds' and then drive letter for iPod which I select.  When I click on drive letter it shows songs in queue.  So far so good.

4) Under 'Options' I then pick 'Force file conversion during uploads' and MP3 Encoder (LAME), Quality 192, High Quality setting.

5) I select 'Upload files' then it gets part way through 'Conversion Process' dialog (usually a few tunes) and then crashes MC.

Any ideas? I *need* this functionality.  If I can get it to work I'll *gladly* purchase MC9!!

Thanks for any help - Michael

also:

- crashes during conversion (not copy to device)
- works sporadically (I just tried w/4-5 songs and it worked fine)
- seems to work dependably w/just one song

thanks-m.

Since the crashing occurs even apart from the transfer to iPod, this may be a problem in the wma decoder. I will take a look at it when I return on Monday, but you could try posting a new thread with the subject of 'Crashes when converting wma' to try to find a solution before I return.
