PROBLEM: SecondSpin won't recognize inserted audiodisk.
-------'
- reinstall SecondSpin with a different cd-rom type until it does.
PROBLEM: bad audio quality.
-------'
- some cd-rom drives output truncated audio packets which cause bad
audio quality.
- not all cd-rom drives support proper trackdownloading
HINT: Download a recent demoversion of MakeCD. It is able to extract
cdda tracks and you can easily see if you cd-rom drive sucks.
Also see the list of known working drives
- the layer 3 fast mode is in highly experimental stage. It can
result in decreased quality in all possible cases.
- if encoded mpeg files sound like some audio is missing now and then
(one beat is missing etc.), it usually is caused by badly
configured hd-filesystem. Try to download a track to ramdisk and to
harddrive and test if the audio is ok.
PROBLEM: The SecondSpin just freezes when it starts to encode a track
-------'
- This is most probably caused by that the "SecondSpin_encoder" isn't
executable. Please set +e tag and start ppcloadseg if you're using
the ppc version.
PROBLEM: SecondSpin isn't able to select wav or aiff files in the requester
-------'
- AIFF and WAV files must have .aiff / .aif or .wav extension! You must
rename the files accordingly.
PROBLEM: The SecondSpin encoder crashes.
-------'
- you might have installed a FPU version of the encoder although your
cpu doesn't have one, or it isn't working properly.
- you have found a bug in the code. please report it and hope it will
be fixed when the next release comes. (yeah, sure)
GENERAL PROBLEM INFO:
- elfloadseg MUST be running if you try to run the ppc version.
- PPC version isn't tested much so it might not always work properly..
- After encoding of one track has been completed, your system might lock up
for couple of seconds. I have no precise idea what might cause it, possibly
the encoder additions I made :).
- If you're going to send a bug/nag report, please tell these things too:
a) Your configuration, including CPU & CD-ROM Drive!
b) Send the information file, which is generated by SecondSpin:
- Use BETA VERSION MENU / SAVE SYSTEM INFORMATION
c) What audio cd were you encoding.
