  1. Hello again konfoo, I was wondering if there was any news on the problem I've been having where not every track that passes through the player is parsed correctly even if the sniffer is active and the uncached tracks option is checked. The only thing I'm not doing as per your recommendations is running vista x64 and not xp. Cheers
  2. I that case I am definitely missing tracks - and they all seem to be the ones that end up as the plugtmp-nnn files for some reason. So here's some lines from my debug log. Initializing Desktop Dir: C:UsersTomDesktopPandoraRip Temporary Files Dir: C:UsersTomAppDataLocalTemp Application Temporary Files Dir: C:UsersTomAppDataLocalTempPandoraRipTemp Monitoring Started 118 Scan(s) completed for 2 Temp Dir(s) 0 Total Tracks Ripped :( Copied & Tagged "Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf (Live).mp3" Scraped Genres: hard/heavy/rock/pop Copied & Tagged "Judas Priest - Private property.mp3" Scraped Genres: rock Copied & Tagged "Grave Digger - Desert Rose.mp3" Scraped Genres: rock/pop 338 Scan(s) completed for 5 Temp Dir(s) 3 Total Tracks Ripped :( Copied & Tagged "Overkill - World Of Hurt.mp3" Scraped Genres: hard/power 714 Scan(s) completed for 7 Temp Dir(s) 4 Total Tracks Ripped :( Copied & Tagged "Sammy Hagar - When the Hammer Falls.mp3" Scraped Genres: general/rock/pop 1127 Scan(s) completed for 7 Temp Dir(s) 5 Total Tracks Ripped :( Copied & Tagged "Uriah Heep - Son Of A Bitch.mp3" Scraped Genres: hard/rock Cheers
  3. Hello there, Yes I get this problem as well. I'm not a techie but this is what I've found. If you need to find your temp folder use the search function in the windows start menu and search for temp on your C: drive. There'll probably be several but the first temp folder it finds usually is the right one. Open up the folder. If you do this while pandora is running you'll see a folder named plugtmp if you've chosen the right one. Pandora stores some of the temporary mp3 files in this folder as numbered files (like 0164827263029409) without any file extension. It stores the other temporary mps files straight into the main temp folder as plugtmp-X (where X is a number) without any file extension. Some of these files will have been played, one will be playing and the others will have yet to be played so if you delete any, don't be surprised if pandorasjar can't find the files to convert. If you want to delete the ones that have already been played and ripped, try comparing the file sizes of the mp3s you've ripped to these temporary files. They're usually either exactly the same or fairly close. Deleting the files that have already been ripped may prevent some incorrect naming of future files but not all. Sometimes pandora will start downloading a track to your temp file and then suddenly stop before it's complete and then start downloading another one. These seem to be the files that spark off a spate of incorrectly named mp3s. I don't know why this happens and I don't know how to stop it - the incomplete file never gets played by pandora. However, if you monitor your temporary mp3 files keep an eye out for unusually small files and delete them if you see one. It can be tricky to spot them sometimes as pandora uploads it's temporary files at different speeds and sometimes in chunks so ocasionally a file that you think is a dud will suddenly carry on downloading again. The only other thing I've noticed is that sometimes when you change station pandorasjar will start naming files wrong for a while or from then on so try not change station - a bit of a downer if you've run out of skips. And lastly, try not to skip or ZZZ a track until pandorasjar says it's tagged and saved. This also seems to cause problems. Good luck.
  4. Sorry if I sound a bit thick but I'm a bit confused now. When you say "largely irrelevant since all tracks are located now" do you mean even the ones that end up getting named plugtmp are located or perhaps shouldn't they be getting named plugtmp? I've ticked the grab uncached tracks check box but the ones that end up as plugtmp files never materialise. Or did you mean all tracks are located except for the ones that end up as plugtmp? I've noticed that if you rename the plugtmp files manually as .mp3 files they'll play. Would there be anyway of automatically renaming these files as .mp3 and transfering them into the pandora rip folder? Even if they don't have the artist/title info etc they're still usefull to have. Cheers
  5. Hello Konfoo, Yep, I've been running the new version for a while and it certainly does rip all the tracks in the plugtmp folder now without exception. Superb. All we need now is to be able to rip those pesky file outside the plugtmp folder and this will be the ultimate pandora rip application! Cheers.
  6. Yes, this seems to be the same on my 'puter. None of the plugtmp-1 et al files that are outside the plugtmp folder get ripped. Also, a few of the numbered files in the plugtmp folder don't get ripped either. Are these unripped numbered files in the plugtmp folder the "missing files" that will be fixed in the next update? Cheers.
  7. Hello Konfoo, This is a great little application and I think it has real potential. I love the way it rips the files before they get played and better still - it has no problem correctly ripping and naming files when I change stations unlike PJ (is there a fix yet for this issue with PJ yet btw?). I'm having similar problems as other users seem to be having regarding some files in the plugtmp folder not be ripped. I've monitored the files sizes to see if they get ripped but some just seem to slip through the net and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. Also, any files outside the plugtmp folder don't get ripped either. Keep up the good work though - it all looks very promising. I'll be monitoring this thread for program updates very closely! Nice one. Cheers
