The end of the conversion is when it writes the ID Tags, this could be quite slow over a network.

Did you compare it with a conversion on a local drive?

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

Patience is the key here, just did it again, and it just took a little long, but finished finalizing of conversion.

Hi,
I am running DB poweramp on a Mac and I tried to write replaying gain flags for my music stored on a nas.
Unfortunately it gets stuck and seems to freeze at the finalizing conversion stage.
Is this a bug in the Mac version ?

Thanks for the explanation. I understand. It is truly amazing how auto playback systems are so outdated. Your situation is even more odd than usual (it uses title metadata but not filename!).

Even though both our cars have these sorts of built in player things, even with drive storage, I never bother with the built in players. I have an old 160GB ipod that is plugged in, and the car system recognizes this as an ipod and allows me to control from the car stereo system and even the steering wheel audio controls.

Thank you guys! That did the trick perfectly

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

My suggestion would allow you to change 100,000+ files tags with only a couple of mouse clicks....let it run overnight and done. And all reversible if you want to make any bulk changes in the future. My mp3tag process would have to be adjusted slightly to address the single disks with disknumber, and that's doable, but I understand that you prefer to do this in dbpa.

Thank you for taking the time to fully explain, I think I understand now . I understood your suggestion to mean only altering multi disc tags thus requiring a second run. If it's possible to do both with filters simultaneously that could be incredibly useful, but I must admit I prefer the logical, rule based layout of dbpa. I've always got mp3tag installed, but for the love of me I've never, ever enjoyed the interface. I couldn't tell you why because I've never worked it out myself but for some reason it's just never 'clicked' with me, which is unfortunate because it's superbly capable for a free program.

The why is because my music is sorted as flac, with 240 vbr aac for portable use, BUT in the year 2017, Renault is manufacturing cars without a Cd player that does not, or cannot, read disk number or track number tags. Or sort files numerically based on file name. Or display album art from an aac file. The list goes on but the short version is that irrespective of the mode of play or file structure, it only ever plays alphabetically through the title metadata, somewhat spoiling albums. The R-Link 2 system in the new Megan is a freaky propitiatory linux system that will support a 2TB hard drive but only the NTFS file system above 32GB volumes (wth?) as it hibernates rather than shutting and also doesn't construct a file database on removable drives, hence performs better with a journalled file system -even on flash drives. Part of the update over the previous years system was the ability to handle aac bit rates greater than 192kbps (in the year 2015!).

As a driving machine, superb. As a music player, outclassed by a $5 Chinese mp3 player :(

Hopefully mvilles solution will do the trick. Fingers crossed

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

(NOTE: to reverse this change, I'd first create a new custom tag that contains only the song title. This way it will be simple to revert your title tag back to containing only title in the future if you choose to do so.

Good idea. You could add the following at the beginning of the Rule Based Manipulation example earlier, to backup the Title tag:

IF Title=[anyvalue]
SET TitleBackup=[Title]


... I am also curious, like garym, as to why you would want disc and track in the title tag.

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

My apologies, I meant that it would require multiple runs. All my files contain a disk tag too, if only 1/1.

I'm looking at 100+GB of mp3s which I would prefer to do in one go. More importantly I would like to learn how to do this within dbpoweramp if possible (and therefore be able to undo it). There doesn't really appear to be any ideal solution from what I have been able to find.

p.s. out of curiosity, why do you want your title tag to contain track number and disknumber info. That info is already in other tags that virtually all players can use. The typical reason for needing track no in the title is related to using these files in a automobile mp3 player. However, in those cases it is the file names themselves that need this info rather than the metadata (as the car player sometimes arranges things by filename rather than using tags).

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

Not sure how this is undoable in dBpoweramp and not MP3Tag?

Anyhow, assuming your Title, Disc and Track tags are populated consistently, you could try this in
ID Tag Update utility codec >> Manipulation >> Rule Based Manipulation:

IF Title=[anyvalue]
SET TempTag=multi

IF Disc=1/1
SET TempTag=single

IF TempTag=single
SET Title=[Track] [Title]

IF TempTag=multi
SET Title=[Disc].[Track] [Title]

IF TempTag=[anyvalue]
SET TempTag=

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

Almost, I would like the track number and song title in all files, but also the disc number for multi disc albums.

The above will have the same effect as ID Tag Update rule:

IF Track=[anyvalue]
SET Title=[Disc].[Track] [Title]

i.e. insert the disc number into the title irrespective of the number of discs in an album.

If my understanding is correct then then it should be possible to apply the same dynamic rules of file naming to manipulating the title field. I simply cannot work out how.

No, my suggested solution would only add disc number to the title if there are multidisks. It won't add disknumber if only one disk.
edit: my suggestion assumes that you only have a value for disknumber when there are multiple disks; otherwise disknumber is blank.

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

to clarify, you want the metadata tag field "title" to contain both the disk and track number as well as song title? (as opposed to the file name itself containing this information, which is something quite different).

Edit: if this is true, then I don't know how to do this in dbpa. But easy to do in mp3tag:

install mp3tag. (handles FLAC, ALAC, WAV, etc. as well)

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/dodownload.html

Load up all your files in the active window.
Filter on files that have disk number > 1
Then select all these files.
Then choose "convert: tag to tag" from menu
Then enter for field: TITLE
and for format string: %disc%.%track% %title
Then hit OK.

This will change the title tag to be what you want.

NOTE: %disc% above may need to be %discnumber%

Re: Replay Gain R5 Hangs 'Finalizing DSP Effects'

Thank you, but I was referring but I was referring to rule based manipulation using ID Tag Update. The files themselves are already organised using;

[IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][artist][][] - [[year]] [album] \[IFMULTI]Disc [disc][]\[track] [artist] - [title]

I just need to add album (preferably only too multi discs) and track numbers to the beginning of the title tag while maintaining the file structure.
