Goldwave version: 6.51
Windows version: 10.0.19044.1415
I'm able to rip CDs to WAV and MP3 without error, but if I attempt to rip them to FLAC (16- or 24-bit), I get a "System exception" for most (but not all) of the files on the CD. Windows Media Player has no problem ripping to FLAC. Has anyone else had this issue?
System exception when ripping CD to FLAC
Re: System exception when ripping CD to FLAC
That's weird, but since CDs are 16-bits there's no point in making 24-bit FLACs. (FLAC is "smart" so the 24-bit file shouldn't be any larger.)
...I normally use EAC or CUERipper because they support AccurateRip. AccurateRip compares your data to an online database and you get a match (or hopefully multiple matches) you know there were no errors.
There is also CUETools which has a different database for correcting errors, but I've never used it.
P.S.
Maybe there's something invalid (for FLAC) in the metadata... If you're using Get Titles to automatically fill-in the data, try without it.

Re: System exception when ripping CD to FLAC
Try installing the latest version of GoldWave. There was an issue with the FLAC plug-in that was fixed in a recent update.
