Loading MP3+G folder crash
 

I am in the process of digitizing all of my disks into mp3+g format. I have completed about 7GB worth. I downloaded Microstudio 3.0 so that I could play some of them on the PC. When I tell MS to change to the directory which contains all of the songs (mp3+g) it starts to load, ~15-20sec, then crashes. By crash I mean I get the WinXP submit report window and the software shuts down.

What program are you using to convert your discs to MP3+G?

CDGRip by Invicion
Uncompressed MP3+G @ 192kbs

Try copying a few of the files to another folder and open it. You may have a corrupt file in that folder, because MS should be able to open it...may be extremely slow but still should be able to open.

Started adding songs into their own folder a bit at a time until it crashed. Then started to remove songs until it didn't crash.

File type: Uncompressed MP3+G@192kbs
Ripping software: CDGRip by Invicion
MS version 3.0

Results:
MS runs fine with 256 files (128songs) in default folder.
MS crashes with 257 files (129songs) in default folder.

3 different sets of 256/257 files were used.
Each set of files tested 3 times on 2 different harddrives.

There shouldn't be a limit on how many MP3G sets can be in the folder. With KMA files, some users have 30,000 songs.

Is there one particular file pair (.mp3+.cdg) that may have a bad compression on it? That is the only reason I can think of that would cause Hoster to crash. MAX compression available from some products has caused us no end of grief! :r

Version 3.001 will release today. We hope to have the download links updated for existing customers, but our web master must do that for us. :r It has more error traps for MP3G and ZIP files that can be "bad".

Any combination of songs when they exceed the 128 songs (256 files) in the default folder crash Microstudio 3.0.

Also, I am not using Hoster and these are uncompressed MP3+G files.

Version 3.001 did not correct the issue.

Any help still would be appreciated.

Still unresolved. Please reply.
