HI there,
Very glad to read your enthusiasm and endorsement of this handy unit!
I've bought one recently and have been ripping cd's for the past few days.
May I ask you just a couple of tech-related questions? If you could be so kind as to divulge with your expertise?
It would be appreciated.
As you seem like you've gotten quite seasoned with B2 as far as the technical know-how as well as it's connections to things.
Okay. I've ripped about 100 cd's thus far. Things I've noticed when the CD's either cracked or damaged or dirty.
Two scenarios:
1) "Incomplete Rip" display - this is straight-forward message, simple to get.
2) " ripping song 2" out of 545 tracks...... 17% to 20 % etc - now this is weird.
Obviously the cd doesn't have that many tracks, I believe it gets confused.
I've corrected this by turning it off/on, then re-try, but it will come up now and again.
Admittedly I have a couple of cd's which are pretty rough, only on close inspection is thiis evident.
Other issue: Flac compression on stand-by mode when idle
Now when the CD's aren't in the unit at all. After having ripped the 90 to 100 something cd's which I guess equates to 754 tracks in total, the unit continues to run in the background.
The display states Compressing: FLAC 82% 80 of 754
And the percentage keeps running up as it continues it's task.
Is this suppose to be happening?
So when I rip the cd and it ejects itself out of the unit, which takes a few minutes, isn't it
done? Like the files are compressed and saved at the same time?
This indicates to me in contrast, that the unit when it rips just shoves the cd's data in a line of other cd's data wherein, it builds and builds up. Like at a food bank line if I can make that analogy, where patron file in singly file lines waiting to be served.
Or is this due to something else?
