Two Questions

[Lttlwing16]

Almost impossible to diagnose a resource issue when we don't know what Pi model, MoOde version, power supply etc.
For a start post the MoOde system info while idle and then running one of your errant rips... and the audio info of the same file. (both can be found either in the main or config menus)

I have a vinyl ripping setup/chain almost the same as yours and have no problems so lets compare once we know hardware etc :-)

Of course, my fault. Updated the OP with the system info. In looking at it, I did notice that the "soft temperature limit had been reached" under the sdcard info, but not sure if that's in regard to the SOC??
