When I try to rip a CD to MP3, the program goes through each entry saying it's ripping it, but all that is produced is a load of MP3s containing nothing but the ID3 data.
I am running version 0.6.4 on Windows XP Pro SP1
What encoder are you using to encode to MP3? Are you using the default or have you installed the LAME codec? I do not do the encoding to specific file formats myself but rely on the codecs installed on the machine. I do write the file header information (e.g. ID3 tags), but then append the actual MP3 audio data from the codec. First, try to RIP to a WAVE (Microsoft PCM format) file to see if the problem really does lie in the codec. If so, can you try a different codec. I did find a bug with the update code on the RIP progress bar for each song. I have fixed this bug and will release this soon.
By default the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG3 encoder is installed on a Windows XP box. I have tested with this encoder as well as the LAME MP3 Codec 0.9.0 (encoder 3.97 stable).

I was using the default mp3 codec that was listed.
Ripping to .wav also creates empty files, they do not play in winamp, and their length is reported at 0:00.

If I send you a pre-release version of 0.6.5 can you try this again and send me the log information. This version will include a log window for the audio ripper.

What MP3 encoders are installed on the machine? I really only have tested with the LAM# MP3 encoder. I expect if the encoder fails in some way, my error message may not be as robust as I would like. I suspect this is the issue because my program writes the ID3 data, but I pass the CD data through a CODEC supplied on the machine to provide the actual MP3 data.
