Changes:

mp3 (Lame) updated to v3.88
PerfectMeta enchancement - album artist could overide various artists from other providers
CD Ripper - better handling of display when starting program
CD Ripper - Copy to clipboard can copy the filename
CD RIPPER - default naming is having Various\xxxx Disc 1 Disc 1\ because album name has disc number (from perfect meta), so removed from naming default
CD RIPPER - default naming removed album from the filename
CD Ripper - Much faster as skipping a track on a damaged disc (if user skip)
CD Ripper - now supports c2 error pointers over firewire
CD Ripper - fail safe detection of drives (will return Unknown for name)
CD Ripper - folder.jpg changed to Folder.jpg as default
CD Ripper - mouse wheel scrolls in manual meta review page

ID Tag + CD Ripper: Better handling of comments with CRLF and display of such. In Tag Editor carriage breaks shown as {CR}{LF}
GetpopupInfo faster when tags contain a huge binary encoded as UUEncoded text (200KB single txt element)

File Naming - [MAXLENGTH] naming element to set the maximum length of items such as folder, or file names
File Naming - Now possible to do: [ifvalue]artist[] [ifvalue][artist][] [ifvalue][tag]artist[][] [IfEQUALS]artist,[album artist],bob[] [IfEQUALS][artist],[album artist],bob[] [IfEQUALS][tag]artist[],[album artist],bob[] [IfEQUALS]The ,[MAXLEN][album artist],3[],bob[]


Core Converter can send over replaygain tags at request of DSP Effect
Core Converter attempts to write ID Tags, even if there was an error

bug fix: All programs - folder creation able to correct folders ending in '... '
bug fix: Edit ID Tag would stall if a huge binary encoded as UUEncoded text (200KB single txt element)
bug fix: cd ripper - changed scanner to only load, get around 16 bit errors people are seeing (also ntvdm)
bug fix: mp3 lame any abr mode was vbr -v4
bug fix: CD Ripper - was possible a device change (new drive appearing) could effect existing CD Ripping
bug fix: CD Ripper could say Encoding CPU1, CPU2 even when only 1 cpu on system
bug fix: Batch Converter, if folder had an . it would readd the folder on refresh
bug fix: cd ripper - if viewing manual review page and eject cd now auto close the page

It deleted my Reference registration. If there are special steps to follow please list the process in detail.

I assume I now have to uninstall 13.1, download Reference and the codecs, install Reference, register, set-up my profiles and settings. Is that correct?

Very frustrating and time consuming.

That's probably because you chose the option to uninstall R13. Don't do that. Install it "over" R13.

Sorry I forgot to add the bit about selecting no. You will have to install R13 regsitered, then R13.1 over the top.

lame.exe crashed. file will come via mail.

It says it will function until 8/08 is this going to be a problem?

BUG: Problems when lyrics tags are converted from WMA lossless (wma) to AAC with (m4a) apple tags.

When converting between (wma) to (m4a)
After the conversion all the WMA meta data tags converted over correctly execpt for lyrics tags which only about 100 bytes get transferred over. The rest is lost

When converting between (mp3) to (m4a)
After the conversion all the WMA meta data tags converted over correctly except for the lyrics tags which are lost all together.

PS.
Thanks for resolving the lyrics tags that did not handled CR-LF correctly for MP3.

I believe those bugs would be related to the codecs, not dMC r13.1.

I notice the bottom part of the CD Ripper window (containing player, metadata, album art) is still not resizable in the latest beta.

Could it be implemented, since it must be rather a simple fix? It would save a lot of clicking and scrolling while editing and especially adding various metadata fields.

In the present version there is a huge unused white area in the middle of my 1200 pixel high screen. The unused space is there on smaller screens too.

[atlantic]

If an artist name includes the & character, perfectmeta changes it to a semicolon, for example:

Earth, Wind & Fire --> Earth, Wind; Fire

This results as the following tag fields:
ARTIST=Earth, Wind
ARTIST=Fire

I suppose it would be best if the & character would not be renamed like this since there are so many groups with that character part of the name.

[Spoon]

It is an option you can switch off under Options >> Meta Data & ID Tags.

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

I am sorry to bother you again but that didn't work or am I reading this wrong? I down loaded again uninstalled then re-installed

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.
