The real issue is the presence of ID3 tags in your FLAC file. Their presence make it invalid.

Uncheck "Add ID3 tag" option in EAC settings.

Patience is a virtue. I built the new version of MediaInfo tonight, and it indeed seems to fix the problem with your file. New build of LameXP with updated MediaInfo is up now

Thanks. Downloaded and installed. And yep, the files are now indeed read in.

So, what was MediaInfo's issue? The previous version did work if the ID3 tag wasn't there.

Thanks for your help in getting this figured out.

I am correct in assuming that LameXP will not traverse directories looking for audio files?

Cannot assign process to job: Process is not running anymore!
Failed to assign process to job object!

The job has 339 files to convert to MP3. At about 160 done it started doing the errors. Now, at about 248 left, the error is occurring at pretty much every conversion. As indicated, the error is not fatal, as the conversion takes place.

I figured that I should report it anyway.

I'm not exactly sure. The commit that fixed it can be seen here. Seems to be related to the order in which certain things are done.

Depends on whether you select "Open Folder" or "Open Folder Recursively" from the "File" menu, I suppose.

We use a job object to manage the sub-processes started by LameXP. This is mainly done in order to ensure that no "orphaned" sub-processes will be left behind, when the main (GUI) process is terminated for whatever reason. Sometimes it can happen, though, that the new sub-process has already terminated before we even had a chance to assign it to the job object. This is the warning you are seeing. In other words, it is harmless and can be ignored

Never use the pulldown menu. I drag-n-drop. I'll have to remember that for next time.

How to stop LameXP v4.21 from showing the "Check for updates" window every time it is launched? "Disable update reminder" has already been chosen.

Hi,

I used to become a little mad by this intrusive behavior of LameXP, I hardly use it any more, and upgrading is not really an option.

My solution was to use one of those "Clicker Applications" which can automatically click away intrusive messages (I still use the ancient ClickOff app). There is still a small delay before the software starts, but it is quite short and not really annoying...


Cheers
