Issue with Mac OSX Encoding Audio Files

[ThrillerJ]

I have been trying to encode metadata onto audio files (music) with artist info, album info, cover image, etc. The files are originally WAV. I am trying create encoded MP3s at 320kbps, but every time I export them from Max, the audio files have no sound. This problem has persisted for certain albums, but I am fairly certain I did one a few weeks ago no problem.

I am currently running Mac OS 10.15.4, and using the 64-bit version of Max for Mac. Any guidance on this would be much appreciated, as I have to do this frequently for work and it's very convenient to both convert to MP3 and encode the metadata in one go. I just had to convert them first and then once they were MP3s I was able to get metadata encoded and the sound worked. Very odd.

Can you confirm you're using https://files.sbooth.org/Max-0.9.2b2.dmg ?

I'm having a similar problem. Attempting to convert stereo FLAC files (48kHz) to 320kbps MP3. Running Mac OS 10.15.4 and Max-0.9.2b2.dmg. Max "converts" the files but has no audio when previewed or opened in any media player. The file size seems consistent with other files I've converted, so it seems the data is there, it just doesn't have any sound output. Also tried converting FLAC files (44.1kHz) to MP3 and that worked flawlessly.

I have also encountered this with 0.9.2b2 (25) on 10.15.4 with one EP when converting from FLAC to LAME. Every other album I've thrown at it splitting FLAC with cue sheets or converting FLAC to LAME hasn't had this problem so far.

What is odd is inspecting the output files more closely the bitrate shows as 32kbps with audio stream size of 850KiB while filesize is 1.78Mb:

@sbooth I can provide a link to the files via email if you'd like the source for reproducing the issue.

Hi. I am having this same issue, but with converting WAV to MP3. Encoder appears to do it's thing, but the resulting file produces no sound. The WAV file is exported from Audacity 2.3.3, and that file plays fine. I ensured I was running Max 9.2b2, and I'm on High Sierra 10.3.6.

I believe this is the same problem as #36 which is now fixed. I should release a new beta containing the fix in the next few days.

Max-0.9.2b3 is now available and contains the fix.

Great, thanks Stephen! ᐧ
