PMM 3.92 30-day Trial and crashing problems
« on: September 14, 2009, 06:18:07 pm »
I just downloaded and installed PMM 3.92 and am having two major problems.  First of all it seems to have overwritten my PMM 3.76 registration so now I have an unregistered trial version that I cannot upgrade.  I also do not have the old registration info or install files to reinstall 3.76.  Furthermore 3.92 crashes every time I try to encode a CD.  It is able to encode the entire CD but always get stuck on the last track - it displays 100% but never actually finishes.  Windows becomes almost totally unresponsive and I can't even terminate PhatNoise with a ctrl-alt-del.  I have to hard power cycle my PC (painful) every time I encode a CD.  I have 100+ CDs to encode and don't want to destroy my PC to copy them.  I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 on a brand new PC.  Any suggestions?

1) How unlock product or get rid of annoying trial registration.
2) How to fix encoding problem.

TIA,

Mike

1) Go to 'Phatnoise.us', register and download the '3.92 NO ACTIVATION' version of the software

2) No idea.  Sorry.

VorTechS,

Could you please send me the registration e-mail so that I can activate my account on phatnoise.org?  I actually registered yesterday but haven't gotten the confirmation e-mail back yet.  Thanks!

Mike

Mike,

For what it's worth, PMM is a pretty poor CD ripping/encoding program.  I suggest that you try EAC (Exact Audio Copy) - free - and also dBpoweramp which now has a ripping capability (free to evaluate for a useful amount of time).
