I’ve mentioned before that iTunes mangled my MP3 library and then a multiple disk failure on my ReadyNAS took it away completely<\/a>\u00a0and, eventually, I will re-rip the hundreds of CDs that (thankfully) I still have in my loft…<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I’ve been researching (aka asking followers on Twitter) what’s the best way to re-rip my music and the general\u00a0consensus\u00a0was to rip as Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC)<\/a>\u00a0and then convert to MP3 as required:<\/p>\n

[blackbirdpie url=”https:\/\/twitter.com\/GarryMartin\/status\/194536609302052865″]<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded FLAC from Sourceforge<\/a>\u00a0but the installer gave an error message, complaining that it failed to register\u00a0MSCOMCTL.OCX (on my Windows 7 x64) system.<\/p>\n

Neil C. Obremski describes the problem in his 2008 blog post<\/a>\u00a0and the problem file is a Visual Basic 6.0 control which, not surprisingly, Microsoft no longer ships with Windows. Whilst there are unofficial downloads available, Microsoft also makes the Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls (MSCOMCTL.OCX and COMCTL32.OCX) available as free downloads<\/a>\u00a0but they are contained in a .EXE file that didn’t want to play ball either.<\/p>\n

No problem, 7-Zip opened the .EXE and I successfully extracted the file I wanted, copying it to C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64 on my machine.<\/p>\n

Following this, I dropped into a command prompt (running as an administrator) and typed:<\/p>\n

regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx<\/code><\/p>\n

With the OLE control extension (.OCX) registered, I was able to run the FLAC front end (although I actually used dBpoweramp<\/a> instead… it’s tremendously powerful and the CD ripper setup guide<\/a>\u00a0helped me to get going).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
