Conflict between MediaSource Organizer and ZM Media Explorer when ripping tra

I don't know if this is a known problem or not but I am hoping someone can explain what I am seeing here.
I have both MediaSource Organizer and ZM Media Explorer set to rip CD tracks at 60% quality with a Variable Bit Rate. If I rip tracks using MediaSource Organizer, it shows the tracks have a Bitrate that is indeed variable. However, if I rip the same tracks using ZM Media Explorer, the Bitrate displayed by MediaSource Organizer is always 60000. When I view the mp3 files using Windows Explorer, both files are exactly the same size which would imply that they are both being encoded as requested.
Could it simply be a problem of displaying the correct bitrate when tracks are recorded with ZM Media Explorer?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
John

micromouse, You are correct that MediaSource does not actually display anything indicating the file is recorded with VBR. I made that determination by examining multiple tracks where I then saw different bit rates as expected. Obviously, if I were recording with CBR, the bit rates of all files would be the same.
Let me try to explain the problem a little differently.
If I set MediaSource to rip tracks from a CD with "VBR, 60%" quality and then use MediaSource to rip 0 tracks from a CD, the bit rate displayed when I view the PC Library in MediaSource shows that each track has a different bit rate as expected. There is no problem here.
However, if I set Media Explorer to rip tracks from a CD with "VBR, 60%" quality and then rip the same 0 tracks from the CD, the bit rate displayed when I view the PC Library in MediaSource shows that every track has the same bit rate of 60000. I believe this represents a problem.
Now after using EncSpot to view the details of the mp3 files as previously suggested by another board member, I verified that the same track ripped by each program (MediaSource and Media Explorer) has the same characteristics although there is a slight difference in file size by a few bytes.
I hope this helps to better explain what I am seeing.
Thanks, John

  • How can i troubleshoot a "software conflict between a device and something in my original user account"

    hi
    my canon video camera (HV20) wasnt being recognised by iMovie (error message...in system report was "Unable to list FireWire devices".)
    in researching a solution i came across some firewire advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151#trouble which suggests there may be a "software conflict between the device and something in your original user account."
    i changed to another account on my iMac and my camera connected immediately.
    is anybody able to explain how i go about fixing this "software conflict".
    many thanks

    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
    The Outbox.mbox represents "Out" in the mailboxes drawer and is shared by all accounts.
    Delete the Outbox.mbox and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder and this should resolve the problem.

  • Conflict Between Bluetooth Mouse and WIFI?

    I Bought the new MBPR X72 and a Iogitech Bluetooth Mouse.When i download something by Wifi,My mouse can't work well.I search the answer on Google,some people said that there is a conflict between Bluetooth mouse and Wifi.Because they are both use the 2.4G HZ.So anyone can help me ??

    If you are on your home network, you could set the router and MBPr to use only the 5 GHz band if you are using the n-protocol WiFi.  That would mean logging intothe router and changing band usage settings.  The MBPr would follow what it sees as the wireless signal.

  • Version conflicts between host labview and RT engine

    there is problem that i cannt switch target to feild point. It said that "version conflicts between host labview and RT engine" . But my labview is version 7.0 and the real time module is version 7.0 too. Anyone can give me hand? Thanks

    Depending on your version of MAX, you should be able to change the version on the FP (in remote systems). If you can't do it in 3.0, try upgrading to 3.1 (you will have to search for it on the site). If that doesn't work, you can try resetting to factory default and then see if you can do this.
    Another tip, which for some reason seems to help, is updating the OS\Run-Time Engine when windows is in safe mode.
    Try these and see if they help.
    BTW, as a tip for next time, you're more likely to get a good answer for something like this if you post in the FieldPoint board.

  • Sleek and Zen Media Explorer Track Listing Order.

    Hey all,
    Been lovin' my Sleek for the last 2 months with just one, minor, issue; today I got a little frustrated so I'm here to ask you about it.
    Normally I rip CDs using the Creative Media Organizer and then use the Zen Media Explorer to "import" and add the new songs to my playlist. Unfortunately in the ZM "Edit Playlists" window, the upper left window (titled "Creative Zen Sleek") has a list of folders by artist, where I would much prefer to list folders by album name.
    For example I might see Beatles in the "B" section, but then a different album might have been listed as "The Beatles" so it's in the "T" section. A lot of my albums are compilations with many different artists playing songs I'm not totally familiar with (jazz for example) and when I see a name I have no idea what song it refers to.
    Is there a way to change that Manage Playlists window so it displays the album name instead of the artist name? I've tried looking in settings, etc., but nothing obvious leaps out at me.
    <IMG src="http://www.us-picks.com/zenplaylists.jpg">
    Please don't tell me to use Windows Media Player to do the transfers; it's counterintuiti've to me and takes longer.
    Thank you,
    D.

    I think the folder structure you're seeing in ZME (\"Music"\artist name\album name\tracks) is part of how Microsoft organizes MTP-type players (including all US Sleeks); I have the same structure in my 2.x-firmware Micro. There's no way to change that.
    I think micromouse's solution (use MediaSource for transfers as well as rips) is the best; MediaSource has its own library database and may not be constrained by Microsoft's folder structure. (The internal library in Creative's MTP-type players isn't constrained by the folder structure either.)

    Strange that WMP doesn't detect it, presumably you have v0? Worth checking the link "problems with connecting using MTP firmware" in the FAQ post and installing the hot fixes.
    Also make sure you have the latest software with MTP updates, by downloading and installing the following:
    . Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2
    2. Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices
    3. Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update
    Before installing connect the player to the PC. Then install 2 and 3 (the player must be connected for to verify you have a Creative product).

    Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
    I got it working now!
    I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
    THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

  • Is there a conflict between Reader XI and Acrobat being used on the same computer?

    I downloaded the new Abode Reader XI. The computer in question has, also, Adobe Acrobat 7. Is there a conflict between them if used on the same computer? I can not open any PDFs and now the saved PDFs I had on the computer will not open and the icon shown on the desktop is gone. Please advise as I scan documents to this computer all the time and the person who needs to see them can not.

    I have Acrobat 8.1.6 and Reader XI on Win XP. Do these conflict? Should I get rid of the newer Reader?
    I'm having problems printing to the PDF print driver, locks up system, shows printer offline in spooler. I doubt problem is with driver itself because I can print a Test Page from it ok. But printing to Adobe PDF from Word & other apps locks up & never completes.
    There's an Exclamation Point next to Acrotray in Explorer. (see image)  What does this mean??
    Have tried Repair install of Acrobat twice.

  • Conflict between iTunes Match and Windows 8.1

    I have been running iTunes on my fully updated Windows 8.1 PC for some time, without any particular issues. A few days ago, I activated iTunes match. It worked just fine, in the perspective of my iPhone and iPad. However, my PC stopped being responsive: Long time-outs on just about anything, and dialog windows refusing to appear (one of them being the McAfee console ....). A virus search using Microsoft's emergency services showed nothing.
    The moment I de-activated iTunes match, everyhing reverted to normal.
    My conclusion is, there is a major conflict between whatever the iTunes match service does, and the Windows 8.1 operating system.
    Any idea what this is all about, and if there is anything I can do about it (except avoiding using the match functionality)?
    I have the latest update of iTunes for PC.

    Hi lars1950,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing issues with Windows responding slowly since enabling iTunes Match. The article below may resolve the issue for you, it describes possible conflicts with Layered Service Providers and how to prevent them.

  • Conflict between Logic Pro and external device error in Logic Pro X./cpu problems

    hi Logic users,
    using a MacBookPro 15 inch Retina, 2,7 GHz intel Core i7, 16 GB Ram, OSX 10,8,5, Logic X 10.0.4.
    i am wondering if you can help me out with the following problem i cant solve:
    when starting logic x with a not too big arrangement, lets say using one third to half of cpu, i open u-he plugin Diva and the cpu is going up on full range and the following error appears: "sample-rate 39299 (number always changes) reconized. Check conflict between logic pro x and external device"
    as external device im running a VirusTi and as audio-device Apogge Duet. when dis-connecting both devices, i have the same problem.
    putting the sample buffer up to the highest rate, doesnt change anything.
    same arrangements on friends computers dont show that problem, so it has to be something wrong in my set up.
    anybody has an idea?
    would be much appreciated for your help,
    thanx-

    Have you used Diva's preset Accuracy system to reduce CPU load?
    accuracy
    Click on the Main button at the bottom of the window. To the right of the Master section are two selectors called Accuracy and OfflineAcc. In the current version of Diva these are global parameters i.e. they remain fixed across all presets, per loaded instance:
    draft........CPU-friendly, but FM will sound rough and resonance is primitive i.e. NOT zero delay! fast......... Fine for older computers and/or when you need more polyphony in acceptable quality great...... The best compromise between quality and polyphony on high-power computers divine..... Top-quality zero delay feedback filters... but can your computer can handle it?
    OfflineAcc only has two options – same or best (i.e. divine in the current version).
    Some host applications may have problems rendering to audio at the selected accuracy, but the
    better ones include an “inform plug-ins of offline rendering status” or similar.
    I typically work in draft mode and then switch to Devine or best when freezing the track or bouncing the entire project...

  • Conflict between python-pyqt4 and python-pyqt5

    Hi!
    When trying to use matplotlib in the Spyder Python IDE I get the following error
    RuntimeError: the PyQt5.QtCore and PyQt4.QtCore modules both wrap the QObject class
    It's obviously a conflict between pyqt4 and pyqt5. However, pyqt4 is a hard dependency of Spyder and pyqt5 is a hard dependency of matplotlib. Outside Spyder, matplotlib works fine.
    Does anybody know how to resolve this conflict? Or is it a packaging issue? Shall I file a bug report? I think a discussion about matplotlib depending on Qt5 had already been going on here.

    Does it work with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pyth … tlib-noqt/ ?
    I think it's OK to open a bug report.

    Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time.  If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

  • Having a conflict between Firefox 4 and Endnote

    After installing Firefox 4, when I tried to open Endnote (and yes I closed the program before installing Firefox 4) I got a message that Endnote was unable to open my library, check to see if anyone else is using it; if the problem persists use the recover library in Endnote. Well, I tried the recover library and it did not work. I did get my library back by moving the library to my desktop, I think all by references are there, however, I lost all my Groups, and the file attachments are all messed up.

    I encounter immediate problems on installing Firefox 5. There were 3 Windows 7 crashes and I could not access Firefox. It was determined that there was a conflict between the anti virus program and the 5 version. There is no download for the older version 4 was not available. After trying several fixes, nothing worked.
    One post indicated that Mozilla was not fixing Firefox 5 and that the fixes were made in Firefox 6 version. Reluctantly, I upgraded to six and , to my amazement, it works again. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!! Hope it works for you.

  • Table relation between Sales Organization and Profit centre

    Hi everybody,
    I hava a question:
    How do I know wich Sales organitzation (VKORG) belongs to a Profit centre(PRCTR), which table relation do I need to do to find it, or from wich table do I get this relation because I haven't found anything.
    I've been asked to get the Profit Centre given a Sales Organization.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Moises,
    Firstly get the Sales Order Number (VBELN) and Sales Organization(VKORG) from VBAK.
    Now based on the the Sales Order Number (VBELN) get the Profit Center(PRCTR) from VBAP.
    Now you can relate Sales Organization and Profit Center.
