Re: Discussion of dMC R13

The only problem that I've seen in R13 is that the pop-up info window doesn't work at all. For any codecs. Anywhere.

Cursoring over files with the codec installed only gives the windows infotip.

Of course, the pop-up window has NEVER worked unless the files are associated with a player. If that isn't by design, maybe you can look at it.

The new metatag service seems to work ok, but I don't see the benefit over using freedb.

all in all, so far, so good.

What version of Windows are you using, Launfal?

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

How can you tell if you are getting tracktype metadata? When I clicked retrieve from tracktype the data was labeled freedb.

What upcoming features can we expect?

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Where did it show freedb?

Hopefully, cue support is right around the corner, as well as reading track 1 pregaps.

Good job, Spoon.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Ripping using Plextor PX-40TS (still) doesn't work.

All tracks are marked ERROR very fast and then the app stops responding completely.

Need Taskman to kill it.

On XP SP2, ordinary user as well as admin.

ciao, TommyZ

Good job, Spoon.

Just curious as to the progress on these 2 items.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

OK, I've been banging on the beta for a while now, and I've got some more feedback that I hope is helpful.

First: WinXP, SP 2, cheapo CD Writer as the main ripping drive.

Two small things that I've noticed: 1) When getting ready to rip a disk, say I don't want the DISCNUMBER field written to the tags. I go to the bottom where the fields are, I hit the X and get rid of DISCNUMBER. When the CD is ripped, the DISCNUMBER field is written anyway, and I have to edit the tags to take it out. The only way to insure that the tag doesn't get written is to disable it in prefs. Using the X worked in 12.2, but I don't know if this is the case for other tags. I presume that it is.

2) When minimizing to the status bar and leaving it there for a while, sometimes it won't restore without right clicking and hitting restore. 12.2 exhibited this behavior, too, and it's not a deal breaker. Maybe something to look at. Oh, maybe 2a) Also when leaving it running for a while, the CD detection stops working. Quitting and restarting seems to get it working again.

Other than that, it seems to be pretty rock solid for a beta. Go Spoon, go!

Thanks for the great work, and I hope some of this helps.

Dang it, I knew there was something else! This would be 3) When using the batch converter, say I highlight 4 directories in Windows Explorer and hit the batch convert on the right click menu. I get one batch converter window for each directory with one of the directories highlighted for conversion, instead of one window with all 4 directories highlighted. Imagine my surprise when my status bar lit up with all of those tabs. Anyway, I think that's the last thing for now.

[Edit: Added batch converter problem]

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Will look into the Plextor PX-40 issue.

Cue sheets, etc,all we can say is they will be in the final R13 release, cannot say when that will be.

To remove disc number, go into Options >> ID Tag options and uncheck there.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Where did it show freedb?

in the upper left hand of the pop-up window.
