Summary0021226: Rip Error dialog can be shown too often during Rip
DescriptionWhen MediaMonkey runs into some issue ripping the error dialog will show that an error ripping a specific track happened. This dialog can be shown again right after it auto-closes. This makes MediaMonkey unusable during a Rip where this error occurs.

1a. Error should be shown once per track
1b. Instead of showing during Rip, the Statusbar could show MediaMonkey is encountering Rip errors. This would limit interference with main program during rip problems.

2. If Error dialog is to be shown (ie. 1a) an additional option to Cancel Rip should be added as currently you can only cancel the Track. The Cancel option could be renamed Skip Track so user can do either.
Steps To ReproducePresumably MediaMonkey ran into an issue accessing the drive. I'm unsure why this happened, but it's possibly not MediaMonkey's fault,
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

I think current implementation is fine as user is notified whenever there is a reading error and can decided whether to continue to the next possible error or whether to cancel the current track..
i.e. If there is just one problematic track (scratched CD) one can still want to rip the other tracks..

We could enhance the options to cancel whole rip process (instead of just one track), but that's rather a minor issue and would probably require new strings, so pushed to the next version...

The problem is that if you don't want to Cancel (either the file or disc) MediaMonkey will constantly keep showing this error as shown in the screencast. This is unusable.

Another solution:
1c. Checkbox, Mute additional errors for this track

If all tracks have errors like this, it is really hard to Cancel the full Rip. As by the time you moved the Mouse to the Statusbar, Right click, often the next error dialog is shown instead. This is why item 2 should be added where the user can Cancel the whole Rip too (so both Cancel Track, Cancel Disc options).

Also if possible,
3. MediaMonkey should identify what specific issue it's running into during the Rip that prompted the error dialog to be shown during Rip Process.

I think that when MediaMonkey constantly shows the error for every next portion of the track then the CD is damaged in the way that you rather want to cancel the rip operation (either for the track or the whole rip process)

But I agree that it could be communicated in a clearer way and buttons could be changed to something like:
[Ignore] [Ignore all] [Skip this track] [Cancel rip]

I'm not clear on why we'd need Ignore/Ignore all buttons. Shouldn't error logic automatically prevent > 1 error dialog appearing in relation to a single track? In which case, couldn't we just limit it to the following (which has the benefit of not requiring new strings)?

[Retry] [Skip] [Cancel]

Retry: Retry the current track again
Skip: Skip the current track and ignore all associated errors, and continue with the next track.
Cancel: Cancel the entire rip operation
