Historically, I liked to use "sound juicer" to rip any CD's to file, as I like to keep my music as .flac files. My partner has a COWON D2 player, so it makes sense to use .ogg for her music.
Of late, I've learned how to use K3B to rip her music and after installing some of the flac tools, to use it for my stuff too.
So, if I'm just ripping a CD for her, K3B seems to rip it fine to her Music folder - I must have the right choices selected as I need to tell it to go there but the music rips with all the correct/appropriate track listing info, but........
When I connect her media player, then open 2 dolphin windows so that I can just select/drag/drop the music files to it, sometimes I get a dialogue error box, that it can't copy a certain track, or sometimes a while CD from one PC based location to the media player.
I think it may be something to do with the way that the music has been named i.e. if there is a colon (: sign) somewhere in the title, then it seems that if I make the folder for that artist/CD, but modify the name so that it doesn't have any colon in it, it seems to copy over fine.
So I'm presuming that it's something to do with how the software sees colons in track or CD names etc, but am not sure.
I have been just hitting "skip" when the warning dialogue comes up for just a single track that it can't make a copy (or file), so don't know if it's a consistent problem or not.
I'm wondering if it's a case that if it's an issue with colons in titles/names/track listings, whether it's the case that I just need to rename it slightly from it's original ripped file, so that it will copy via drag/drop and do the same for the individual tracks that seems to through up the similar error ?
Has anyone else found something similar ? If so, how did you get round it ?
I'd rather not have to check through all the files and rename them for this reason, unless I have to, as it's 3 or 4 hundred CD's worth of ripped music.........
TVM in advance of any assistance you might be able to offer.......
