#12 Cutting last track in half

[Anonymous]

I know this is an old bug that was apparently closed,
but I am encountering it in the latest version. The
program incorrectly reports the length of the final
track on the first CD of Nine Inch Nails' "The
Fragile". It cuts it roughly in half. I get no error
messages, and it rips and encodes fine. The file
sounds fine, too, it just cuts out midway. I used
several other audio readers; they all reported the
correct length.

Using Windows 2000 with a Creative DVD6240E.

The CD is a little messy, so perhaps the program has
some kind of autocorrection going on? I tried cleaning
it, but no change!

I did actually have this problem with one other CD,
too, to my knowledge:
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
"13 Above the Night"

I've tried this with the exact same CD (The Fragile) under
W2K and had no problems. I did this with a Pioneer DVD-106.
Perhaps this has something to do with your CD player?

That is possible, but it would still be some interaction
between this software and the player, since other software
reads the length fine. Could this also suggest that maybe
it is somehow scratch or dirt related?

Is there a data track in the CD after the last audio
track? The other question is, was the CD correctly
identified by Freedb? I ask, since freedb is highly
dependent on getting the right track offsets and disk
length when generating it's cd hash.

Hi, it's the guy with no problems with that CD again
(logged in this time). The CD in question does not contain
any data tracks and was correctly identified by Freedb in
my case, and correctly ripped by me with this info.

It also happens in Win98SE with not so messy original
pressed not so old CDs no data tracks no nuthin'.

I get the same error... I'm running a CD where the last
track is properly identified as a 3:09 song from other
audio softwares (Winamp, media player, etc) while the CD-DA
X-t reports only 00:39 seconds.
