Incomplete export of .aiff files

Post by chezling » Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:45 pm

I tried recording an LP to my computer (iMac running OS X 10.5.8, 2.4 Ghz Intel) and after labeling each track and choosing Export Multiple, it only exported the first three tracks, then says cannot export the fourth track and beyond. I've never run into this before, as I've done this with many other LPs, eventually adding them to my iTunes library. I've re-downloaded the software and trashed earlier downloaded software. Does the beta version fix this bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help.

Do any of the labels contain the "/" character? That is not allowed. Use a dash instead.

And by the way, I'd recommend trying 1.3.12 - it has many features missing in 1.2.x, and work better on modern Macs.

Bill, thanks for the reply. I think you hit the nail on the head as track 4 has a "/" in the title, so I'll do as you suggest. I wasn't aware of that issue. I'll also try the newer version. I just wasn't sure if it ran OK with regular Leopard as I haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard (yet).

I run 1.3.12 on 10.5.8 PPC with no problems.
