dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Wouldn't it be better to leave "&" out? More often than not "&" doesn't indicate different artists but a whole group. And if it does, more often than not that group+artist is known for being a single group.

"feat." and "ft." however pretty always refer to an artist not known to be part of the group but just a brief guest star.

Well, in the end it's by far not the most important issue.

same thing I suggested

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

I agree. I've been forced to not use this feature because 95% of the time & does more harm than good because its a group, not another artist.

Re: beta 13.1 - PerfectMeta overwrites ISRC data

13.1 beta CD Ripper: PerfectMeta overwrites CD-Text and ISRC data

In my Meta options I have CD-Text, CD-ISRC, and CD-UPC selected, as well as PerfectMeta and the internet services. (Chosen by clicking the down arrow next to the Meta button.)

In the CD ripper application I have switched on the ISRC column. (Right click the column headers and select ISRC).

When I put a CD in initially I see values read from the CD-Text and ISRC values, and then these are immediately over-writen by values read from PerfectMeta. That's maybe OK for the CD-Text, but none of the internet services provide the ISRC numbers, so they are all blanked off. (Even if the net service did provide ISRC, should I expect them to be more correct than the value read from the disk?)

[Edit: This is what happens if I use a Virtual CD ROM drive with an image mounted. The image in my test was ripped on the same PC and drive using EAC > Action > Copy Image and Create CUE Sheet.]

I can merge ISRC numbers back again by choosing the Down Arrow next to Meta > Retrieve > CD-ISRC and then Down Arrow next to Meta > Retrieve From > dbPowerAmp Cache (local)

sjmac-

What vcd program and image format are you using that supports cd-text and isrc numbers?

ISRC/CD-Text in cue sheets in an option in EAC (EAC Options > Tools)

Re: beta 13.1 - PerfectMeta overwrites ISRC data

Missing ISRC number behavior is present if using a virtual CD drive or a real one on my system.

Different symptoms if the cd is inserted in to the drive before CD Ripper is started or after.

If inserted before, then ISRC numbers are not shown in the track grid and not written to track metadata after ripping.

If inserted after CD Ripper is started then ISRC numbers are shown in the track grid, but not written to the file metadata.

(Checked for ISRC numbers by right-clicking the file and choosing "Edit ID-Tag")

ISRC numbers can be put in to the file by following the procedure in post #48 above, but then I loose any scanned artwork that I might have added.

ISRC would not be used with PerfectMeta, I will make a note for R13.2 to re-add it.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

I am having trouble getting back to release 13. I hit yes to uninstall 13 when I went to the Beta 13.1 by mistake. It went to trial version. So I uninstalled 13.1 and re-installed my registered version 13 but I am still in TRIAL with 17 days remaining. What can I do to get this corrected?

Thank You

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

It is only because you have activated the Reference trial, so you have the reference version until that trial runs out, then it will revert to your Power Pack. To manually do it, set the month forward 2 months, run CD Ripper, then put the month back.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Update 6 Sept2008

Big update (see first message), full release should be 2-3 weeks (need a few minor issues to fix).

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Changes:

CD Ripper - now supports c2 error pointers over firewire
CD Ripper - fail safe detection of drives (will return Unknown for name)
bug fix: CD Ripper - was possible a device change (new drive appearing) could effect existing CD Ripping

Three cheers!

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

CD Ripper - now supports c2 error pointers over firewire

This new functionality does not seem to work properly with the Sony VGP-XL1Bx series changers. CD Ripper will report that the drive supports C2 pointers however when performing a rip many C2 errors will be reported when there should be none.

For example with a new undamaged CD I get over 2900 C2 errors reported on the first 3 minute track alone. If I disable C2 the track rips fine without errors and is Accurate Rip verified.

CD Ripper reports the drive mechanism as MATSHITA - DVD-RAM SW-9584 with 4 KB of cache and C2 pointers. Not sure of its ability to read into Lead-in and Lead-out.

Re: dBpoweramp Release 13.1

Spies:

You would have to try a direct connection to the drive, and use R13.0 to verify where the problem lies. (ie if R13.0 works and R13.1 does not with a direct IDE connection then the problem is R13.1, if not then the problem is the drive reporting false c2 errors).
