Title: Converting Ape to mp3
Post by: LonWar on April 21, 2004, 04:31:24 pm

Hello, I seem to be having problems with this... Some albums (tracks) are converting fine, and some will decode and then sit there frozen when reencoding to mp3...

Anyone have any idea's? I can reproduce this everytime with certain files....

I've had this problem in the past. Every time that I can remember, it's been path or filename related.

I usually use the "Move To..." option when converting formats, so sometimes, the resulting path name exceeded Windows' limit (like over 255 characters?)

Also, MC seems to choke when creating directories & files with certain characters. MC10 (a recent build) has given be problems with periods. I filed a bug report in the .117 or .118 release thread.

Hope this helps narrow it down!

You are exactly right.... If I remove the period from the file name it converts no problems....

Matt, any chance of a fix?


Thanks,
