jriver media

[vheintz]

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with jriver and or my pc. I'm using a dell xps 17 laptop with jriver. when I download or rip music the tracks double leaving one track as an error. please see picture below

i have had jRiver since v18 and I have never had an error like thus. I would suggest you sign into the jRiver forum there is a help thread there you should get the help you need.

What format are you ripping to?

Could it be the 'copy' is a remnant of a WAV extraction that is then compressed to, say, FLAC? But for some reason, JRiver is adding both to your library?

jRivet has so many library settings it hard to learn them. I have had jRiver for msny years and I still.get caught up short at time. You can’t really call it bloat because each function has a specific purpose and you are glad it is there.

I only download flac format and i rip to flac.

 

[cpt_paranoia]

i rip to flac.

My point is that most rippers rip to WAV first, and then run a compressor to convert to FLAC, or whatever format you select.

 

[vheintz]

I rip to flac and download flac. I cant say for certain what happens in the process

 

[vheintz]

I know i just said that. But dont know what else to add. Just a bit of a mystery

I would try this. Set up a separate file folder on C: drive to rip to. I use c:\MusicTransfer

Go to Windows Media Player and setup to rip to that folder. Rip to a lossless format.

Compare results to what you are seeing with JRiver. Report back.

The picture you posted of duplicates. Could you post picture of the files in Explorer rather than inside of JRiver? To see if there are physical duplicates rather than virtual.
Trying to narrow down where the issue is.

There is a setting in jRiver that does flag duplicate files but it dies not work like you show.

here it is. seems to be virtual.

 

[vheintz]

There ya go.

Not a big deal.

I would like to prevent that from happening though. And your right it's not a big deal my music plays fine however when I go to play an album it always goes to error then I have to go to file and start from there.

 

[cpt_paranoia]

It seems to me that JRiver is trying to say that it has a file in its library that it cannot find; that 'no entry' sign. That is why I suspected it might be an intermediate ripping thing; JRiver adds the WAV to its library as it is ripped, but that is then replaced by the FLAC when the ripper then converts WAV to FLAC.

But the OP says this problem occurs with downloaded FLACs, where there wouldn't be an intermediate FLAC.

I might be tempted to get JRiver to re-scan the library. Or, if it supports it, use JRiver to show what it thinks the physical location of the file is; MusicBee would do that, and also allows you to 'locate' a 'missing' file.

 

[vheintz]

What version of JRiver - that will help.

27

 

[vheintz]

I think I might erase the library and re load from external drive. and update to 28

 

[vheintz]

I never had that problem. Do you have any other programs that you use for ripping on this computer?

Just asking a basic question.

You could uninstall and reinstall 27 also.

I have groove music. And that may be causing the problem, just not sure
