Winamp fails to rip selected tracks consistently

[Bookbear]

I have a paid-for copy of Winamp PRO. I am attempting to rip to flac files some classical CDs for a lengthy plane trip, specifically some symphonies. I check the tracks I want (say, one of two symphonies on the disc tracks 1-5). Winamp will say it has completed ripping all 5 tracks, will show all 5 in screen, with tag data, but 2 of the tracks will show lengths of 0:00, and will not play. This never happens with pop or rock discs I rip, only the classical. What seems to be happening is that Winamp will create files with all the tag data but no actual music. I own the cd's, I own winamp. This is not piracy. Obviously, listening to a symphony with two of the movements missing is not my goal here. What's going on?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe the filenames are too long (including directory). Try renaming the files.

Do the two ripped files which don't play actually have the .flac extension?

At a guess, it's the same issue as described here, where the filename length exceeds the Windows limit
