OK, so my original problem was solved by updating the Perl package to the latest. My next problem seems to be something to do with the way the Perl system command executes commands.
When I run flac2mp3.pl in debug mode, the $convert_command is shown as: flac --decode --stdout "2 Pac/2Pacalypse Now/01 - 2Pac - Young Black Male.flac" | lame --noreplaygain --preset standard "-" "/Volumes/FreeNAS/MEDIA/FLAC/../MP3_new/2 Pac/2Pacalypse Now/xAIzbX_3Av.tmp" ...and I get the error: Can't init outfile '/Volumes/FreeNAS/MEDIA/FLAC/../MP3_new/2 Pac/2Pacalypse Now/xAIzbX_3Av.tmp' blah blah failed with exit code 65280 If I take the convert_command itself and run it from a shell everything is fine and the file is created with no problems. So what is it about 'system' that prevents it executing properly? The line in flac2mp3.pl is simple enough: $exit_value = system($convert_command); Thanks, Shareef. -- sjalloq ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sjalloq's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4093 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40556 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
