I am just setting out on the task of ripping all my classical CDs.
I plan to follow what is now more or less a convention when ripping classical discs: each work on a CD will be ripped as an "album", so e.g. a disc containing Beethoven's 4th and 5th symphonies will become two albums, e.g.
Beethoven - Symphony No. 4 - Vienna Phil, Rattle
Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 - Vienna Phil, Rattle
So the original album name becomes meaningless, and I am trying to find a shortcut to naming albums. I've only just started using dBpoweramp and I still rely on MP3Tag for some of the heavy lifting.
At the moment I:
create a new tag in CD Ripper called %ashortname%, e.g.:
Beethoven - Symphony No. 4
then create an action in MP3Tag that goes:
[album] = [ashortname] - [albumartist]
Now this works just fine, but I'd like to transfer as much of the work as possible to dBpoweramp, so that there's little or no messing to be done in MP3Tag. I've tried using the mapping facility in ID Tag Processing, but it doesn't seem to like multiple tags, although it may well be user error. Any advice appreciated. I'm ripping to FLAC, if that matters.
