Title: Can't rip WMA Lossless with 12.102
Post by: ozmael on October 28, 2006, 11:36:20 pm

I'm using MC 12.102. When I try to rip to WMA lossless I get the error, "Read track failed. Failed to initialize the encoder plugin. Rip failed."

I have WMP 11.0.5705 installed.

WMP 11 beta breaks compatibility with encoder profiles.  Hopefully Microsoft will fix it for the release version.

I completely appreciate and understand that Microsoft should probably do more to not break the compatibility of their encoder profiles. But, given that WMP 11 is now released (and it appears that it's still broken when trying to rip to WMA lossless in MC), will there be an update to MC to be compatible with the new WMP 11 encoder profiles?

Regards,

"5. Fixed: Windows Media 11 would not support lossless WMA encoding."

Is that it?

Yup, should be fixed.  Silly Microsoft.

Does this apply to the latest Media Center 11 build also?

If the fix is deemed safe, it may be rolled to MC 11.

However, we feel that this is actually a Microsoft bug.

Have you reported this to MS? I'm sure you could report this through your MSDN subscription.

If so, have they acknowledged it as a bug? Or are they in denial (usually they are pretty good at responding to these sort of things).
