Songverter Stops always when working on song 508

[Mikelly]

Hi Dale

Thanx very much for your response

When it errors its not giving a bad file log at all...& say for instance if i am doing 100 .kma's and it gets too 98 it fails the whole 100 and not converted, so what i've been doing is going into that 100.... ten or so at a time and finding the versinity of the actual file that causes it to error, unfortunately what it means is i am skipping approx 10 songs, eg, if i do for example file named "CBEP4235-01" to "CBEP4235-10" but somewhere inbetween 1 & 10 is the offending file i delete the whole 10 because it would take way too log to find the exact file

Isn't Songverter supposed to carry on past "BadFiles", but list them as a log?

Looking Forward To Your Reply

Kind Regards
Mike

Songverter doesn't write all the files at once. It does one at a time. Reads it, converts it and writes it to disk. So it should only not write the offending file.
It will carry on in most cases as you saw with the demo. Some files may be bad enough though or bad in a critical area to make the program stop.

Hi Dale

Yes i understand it does one at a time because i've been sitting here infront of laptop for 6 to 7 hrs now watching to see if it errors, coz if it does i have to go back one step before i can continue
Well, its unfortunate that i have to do a couple hundred at a time instead of a couple thousand..just means i got a heap of wasted time coming up

Guess i got some really bad files that need to be weeded out which are causing Songverter to have a "AppCrash":(

Thanx for your help with this

Kind Regards

This original problem was fixed in version 1.22 for a stoppage at about 500 files. This was a problem with Vista and Win 7 that was stopping it at that point. No one has reported any more problems from this.
Did you check for a bad file log to see if anything got listed? Have you started it up again to see if it gets farther than 930? I don't mean to start from beginning but start at next song that needs converting?


The above is not accurate. I have version 1.21 and use XP and it has always stopped at record 508. I don't use the program enough to justify additional financial investment so just put up with it. It's another one of
those "Fix" things that I think I should have gotten free. Maybe could have but like I said I don't use it or get onine that often so when I notice the problem it was too late. So I just use the 'limited' version in batches of 500.
