Hi Peter
From time to time when I load a folders *.vaw tracks into the playlist, MS Windows tells me that Engine#.exe has stopped to work. MS then tries to look up for a solution. Ha...
It seems to be related to a few music folders of mine and all tracks in it, as I cannot just skip the track provoking the message and go to the next neither it helps to reboot XX again.
Would you think it's related to a bad rip or?
Gerner
PS! Bert has the same problem.

Aha, but could you re-phrase your answer. I'm not quite sure what it is your doing.  Gerner |

I use the freeware utility audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download ) to edit my wavs and i save them again with it. I dont know what has changed, but now xxhighend is working properly. |

Well however that works..it's a kind of medicine to a fault that appears elsewhere. There must be a way that this, however it works, could be avoided? Gerner  |

If you rip your cds with eac, you should have no problem and audacity isn't necessary. It looks like not every application create the same wav file, for the same song.

I do use EAC. Always. And indeed we all have different reactions from the XX in all our set-ups around. The program you mention (nice little thing BTW) did not cure my problem. So you are right. It is something else. Gerner |

Gerner I haven't ran into this problem. Anything the same about the files that don't play? Like diacritical marks, long files names??? I don't know, just guessing; look for what is similar about the tracks. I'm still using single album wav files instead of multi song wav files.... something about them I like ... (hint). I am happy, but will be happier once cue file support is made... but, hmm, I still listen to entire albums. |

Maybe he has a clue. Yes I am sure he has.... Gerner
