Record Error Code Descriptions

Error 0:

 no error occurred - recording was successful.

Error 1

Message: MusicMatch does not yet support your CD-ROM Adapter

This means that no adapter was found through the ASPI/WinSCSI programming Interface. This likely means you have the ASPI drivers version 4.01 to 4.53. You will have to restore the 4 files from the original Win95/98 CD or go to Adaptec's site at

http://www.absnet.no/files/MULTIM~1/CD-ROM/Adaptec/CD_CRE~1/disk1/aspiinst.exe

and get their newest drivers.

 

Error 2

Message: Your CD-ROM drive does not support ASPI

This means that no ASPI driver was found in the system,

usually only found on NT Systems. This is a fatal error on a

Win95 system if the ini file is set to ASPI mode. Under NT the

user will need to either install the ASPI drivers or set the api to SPTI mode.

 

Error 3

Message: Bad Mode Failure

A recording mode was incorrectly entered on the command line

of the .ini file. The program only supports MP3, .RA and .WAV file types.

Check the exact command line string to correct.

 

Error 4

Message: Open File Failure

A failure occurred during the file open process - likely reasons

are path to a non-existent directory, or an invalid filename, or

a sharing violation. Not much can be done here other than trying

a different filename or capturing the filename and passing the

information back to us.

 

Error 5

Message: Recorded with Incorrect Compression Setting

For some reason the flavor of the RA encoder is not valid on

this system. This is a fatal error.

 

Error 6

Message: Initialized with Incorrect Compression Setting

A failure occured during the initialization process for the

RA encoder. This is a fatal error.

 

Error 7

Message: Opened with Incorrect Compression Setting

A failure occurred during the opening of the output file by

the RA encoder. This is out of our control and is a fatal error.

 

Error 8

Message: Fail Malloc

The program was unable to allocate enough memory to run. This

is a fatal error and usually signifies that there is some sort of

a memory leak in one of the applications running on the machine.

It usually requires a reboot to clear.

 

Error 9

Message: Your CD-ROM Controller is Not Yet Supported by MusicMatch

This means that the program has been unable to determine if the

drive is either SCSI or ATAPI, and means that the drive is likely

ATBUS. There is no support for ATBUS drives in this program.

 

Error 10

Message: Read Error

This is an unrecoverable read error from the drive. It usually means

the drive does not support digital audio extraction. Sometimes it works

when you change Max. Mismatch=255 and Multipass=Yes settings

in the advanced options. If this still doesn't work, analog mode should be used.

 

Error 11

Message: Recorded with Excessive Drive Seeking Errors. Try Recording with Error Correction = On

This means the size of the jitter encountered is larger than can be corrected.

You may be able to increase the OVERLAP entry in the mmcd.ini file to

get around this problem. Correction may work with error correction set to on. If

not, the analog record mode will work.

 

Error 12

Message: Unsupported Mode

The extraction mode selected is not supported by the drive.

It usually appears if the drive doesn't support reading digital audio

You can try setting the QUIET=YES entry in the mmcd.ini file .

Some drives incorrectly report this information and can really grab

Audio. If it still doesn't work, the analog record mode will have to be used.

 

Error 13

Message: Mode Setting Error

A failure occurred during the mode select process. This is only

applicable to SCSI drives from Toshiba/Philips/HP/Pinnacle and

a very few others. This is pretty much a fatal error because the

drive is not reacting the way it is expected to based on the programming

information.

 

Error 14

Write File Error

A failure has occurred during the writing of the destination

File, usually due to a disk full error.

 

Error 15

Message: Fail Load dll Error

One of the DLL files that is loaded by the program has failed

to load correctly. It usually means the file is not in the

correct directory or the file is not on the machine. Additional

copies of the file can be sent to you.

 

Error 16

Message: HA Inquiry Error

The inquiry mechanism in the os to get info on the controllers

has failed for some reason. This is a fatal error, and usually

only appears in ASPI or SPTI mode.

 

Error 17

Message: MusicMatch was unable to find your CD-ROM drive

The program was unable to find any cdrom drives in the machine.

This may happen if the ASPI drivers have been replaced with the updated

drivers from Adaptec. Please see Troubleshooting-Recording for more information.

 

Error 18

Message: Bad Command Line

There is a incorrect option in the command line passed to MusicMatch.DRV.

 

Error 19

Message: Your CD-ROM Drive is Not Yet Supported by MusicMatch

The drive does not show up in the list of scsi drives supported

by the program. It usually means that we don't have the programming specs

for the drive. We can attempt to obtain it from the manufacturer.

 

Error 20

Message: MusicMatch could not find your CD-ROM drive

The drive letter set in the ini file is not a cdrom drive -

usually this means that the user has changed the configuration

and the drive letters have changed.

 

Error 21

Message: No Disc in Drive

This means that the drive is reporting back that there is no cd in

the drive.

 

Error 22

Message: Play Mode Error

No error has occured - this is just a different exit code used

when the user selects /p option to play the cd instead of ripping

from it.

 

Error 23

Message: Copy Prohibited

The command line option /o has not been used and the cd identifies

the selected track as being copy prohibited. Make sure you have not

changed the /o option from the mmcd.ini file.

 

Error 24

Message: Quit Mode Error

No error has occurred. This is just a status message when the user

selects the /q command line option which stops the program at the

point just before the ripping starts.

 

Error 25

Message: Show Usage Error

This is the status message that is displayed when the program

terminates through the Usage screen. Usually this is when there

is an out of range entry on the command line.

 

Error 26

Message: Undefined

Suggestion: please click on "Capture Diagnostics" from the Help menu, and

send the log file to us.

 

Error 27

Message: No WinSCSI

This means that no winscsi drivers were found on the system and

the ini file has the api setting to winscsi. It usually means that

either the seqscsi.dll file or that aspi drivers are not working

correctly.

 

Error 28

Message: Your CD-ROM Drive does not support Red Book Audio.

The drive is reporting that it doesn't support reading red book audio.

Some drives report this even though they do work, so you should try

the quiet option in the mmcd.ini file. Most drives that report that they

don't support red book really don't support it. If this is the case, you

will need to use the analog record mode.

 

Error 29

Message: Recorded With Excessive Drive Seeking Errors

The drive is seeing mismatch errors in excess of the setting in

the ini file. This usually means that the drive has the oak bug. Try

setting the number higher in the mmcd.ini file.

 

Error 30

Message: Your CD-ROM buffer setting is too big

The size of the buffer being used by the program is larger than the

system allows. The number of blocks of memory = BLOCK + 2*OVERLAP.

Usually this number can be no larger than 26, but some machines

need it to be smaller still. The Hitachi drive works much better if these

settings are block=100 and overlap=10.

 

Error 31

Message: CD-ROM Drive Buffer Overflow. Try Recycling Power and Re-Recording

This is the message when the drive returns a 0xbf error meaning

that it was unable to buffer the data because the computer could not

read the data fast enough. This usually this can be fixed by setting the

speed entry in the advanced options to a lower value like 1, 2 or 4.

 

Error 32

Message: NT MSCDEX Error

This means that the api entry in the ini file is set to mscdex

and the software is running on NT. It means that it will not run

unless you set it to a different setting like SPTI.

 

Error 33

Message: Recorded with Some Drive Seeking Errors. Try Recording with Error Correction = On

This means that the software has stopped with a jitter correction error,

and may mean that the drive has jitter larger than the overlap entry in

the ini file. It may also mean that the drive has the oak bug. First

try setting the overlap size to a larger value. If that doesn't

work, try setting the max_mismatches in advanced options to 255.

 

Error 34

Message: No SPTI Error

This means that the SPTI drivers don't seem to be working. This

is usually when the api is set to spti and the software is running on

win95. Spti is only for NT.

 

Error 38

Message: The Xing MP3 file settings are incorrect.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 39

Message: There was a failure during the MP3 encoding process.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 40

Message: The program is missing required .dll files, or is missing the registry entry for a path to the .dll files.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 41

Message: The MP3 encoding process has failed.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 42

Message: MP3 input to audio has failed.

This message occurs when you have run out of memory on the drive to which you are saving your files.

Error 43

Message: The MP3 encoder was unable to convert data to the MP3 format.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 44

Message: There was a failure writing to disk during the MP3 encoding process.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 45

Message: The MP3 encoding process failed to activate.

This is usually fixed by reinstalling the program to restore the shared file links.

Error 51

Message: Incomplete recording

Recording was stopped before the process was complete. The track

will not be included in your database unless it was a complete recording.
