Following a total crash of my dell inspiron, most of my programs have been reloaded and work fine.
The realplayer converter which produces MP3 does not however. A good friend loaded up a program called Audio Catalyst which SEEMED to work. At first. A little.
But on closer inspection, it only grabbed about a third of the selections on the CD, and those were of very low audio and seemingly poor quality. The remainder fell into four or so error modes. One was for the program to quit entirely. Another questions the ‘select point’ and another touched on privacy issues. Many of the remainder produced the mp3 icon but it did not play, at all. The tipoff of the latter being that the installation took seconds, not minutes.
[Be it noted that all these variations were on one cd with 12 tracks. A second and third CD produced nearly identical results] It may be hugely relevant that the CDs in question are being produced by myself from cassette audio tapes on a TEAC converter. The music on the CD itself is of fine quality.
First question: the ‘drivers’ for the revived laptop have not yet been reinstalled. Could this be the reason for the lack of success with real player? Second, has anyone any experience with Audio Catalyst, good or otherwise.
Thanks in advance for what is usually helpful advice.
