Can't rip CD tracks with apostrophe in name

Help and Support
1

This comes up with some regularity for CD ripping. Good example is one I’m doing right now, Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites. Here’s the files after ripping:

01.Catapult.flac
02.Angels_of_the_Silences.flac
03.Daylight_Fading.flac
05.Goodnight_Elisabeth.flac
06.Children_in_Bloom.flac
07.Have_You_Seen_Me_Lately.flac
10.Recovering_the_Satellites.flac
11.Monkey.flac
12.Mercury.flac
13.A_Long_December.flac
14.Walkaways.flac

Note tracks 4, 8, and 9 are missing:
4. I’m Not Sleeping
8. Miller’s Angels
9. Another Horsedreamer’s Blues

All would have apostrophes in the file names. Volumio reports successful rip, which is not surprising, it prefers false positives or silent failures. But despite success report, those tracks are missing.

I’m a software dev and I know the grapple w/apostrophes. Just before someone tells me to clean my CD or whatever… the tracks play fine right from the disk through Volumio, just won’t rip.

i think it’s the ’ in the name all have them…this is a coding problem :slight_smile:

most likely they missed the string escape. so the ripping process thinks is a partial string, Found a string opening quote, but can’t find a closing quote. So the rip is succesfull , but the writing of it fails.
