Batch Re-Encoding problems with BeSweet

[BeavisHChrist]

Trying to re-encode some audiobooks that I have. (various sample rates from 11mhz to 32mhz)...

I've got one of those CDR mp3 players when they first came out (4 years and still going strong)...only problem is, it only supports 44mhz...(or if it does support a smaller rate, I wouldn't know, because I haven't got the instructions anymore, and can't find the manufacturer's website..)..I listen to audiobooks while I drive, so I'm sure you can see my crux. If I just listened to them on my computer, it wouldn't be a big deal, and as I don't own a laptop, uploading them to my Rio500 as I finish one, isn't an option.

Anyway, when I try to re-encode these files, BeSweet crashes. Using Besweet 1.4 and GUI 0.6. I'd really like to be able to batch re-encode these things so I can set 'em up and go watch a movie or something. As it is, I'm using a trial version of Sound Forge, and it's tedious and time consuming. Any ideas?

Try upgrading to the latest beta of BeSweet, and post your logfile for any crash help.

Does it in beta too...however.

Beta software is just that....BETA. I know you're trying to help, but the knee-jerk reaction for a few years has been "Install the latest beta"...(regardless the software title)...this sometimes fixes things, other times it causes more problems than it helps. Not being critical, just getting close to 20 years of experience.

Non the less, I solved my problem by using an older version, and I'm pleased by that.(pfft, latest beta...)

Incorrect, your logic is flawed. My response was not a knee-jerk reaction, there have been many bug fixes since 1.4 incorporated into 1.5 beta, specifically related to resampling issues. The main reason 1.5 has not yet gone final is that DSPguru does not have a lot of time to put into coding these days.

But excuse me for trying to help.

if my logic is flawed, then why did it work with my method, and not with yours?

Your logic that my response was knee-jerk was flawed. Do a search on my posts, I think you'll see I know a little bit about Besweet problems. Thread closed, this is going nowhere.
