Newbie Question - One Folder, Two Files???

[sashua]

I am converting my CD's over to FLAC and I find that when I rip two or more CD's from the same band that they are all placed into the same folder with the band's name. There is only one cover art folder inside (the last one ripped).

How do I correct this - or is it normal?

Will my Sonos differentiate and still pull up two distinct CD's with all corresponding metadata?

Change your naming scheme to include a folder for album. If you update to dMC r13, the default naming scheme has this change done already.

Please pardon my inexperience here. I just downloaded what I assume to be the latest version of dMC only 3 days ago. I assume that I have dMC 13 but how would I know?

Meantime, I also don't understand what you mean by "changing my naming scheme to include a folder for album". By that do you mean change the name of the artist slightly so it will be recognized by dMC as a separate entity?

Thanks for all the help,
Russ

No, he means that in dMC it is possible to configure what folder structure is created to put your ripped files in. Before r13 the default for this folder structure didn't include a separate folder for each album, but in r13 is does.

You configure the folder structure through the "Set" button next to the "Naming" field on the main window. But you shouldn't need to mess with it in r13, it should already do what you want.

To see what version you are running go to "Start menu->Programs->dBpoweramp Music Converter->Configuration->dBpoweramp Configuration". That will show you the version number.

If you were using R12 and updated to R13 you would have to click 'Set' next to naming and choose the 'default' option, otherwise the R12 setting would be kept.

I just checked and I am using R13. I had a trial version previously but I deleted it from my computer before purchasing the full premium version.

Will I always need to use the "set" button from here on or can I reconfigure somehow or download a patch to make this task easier?

Thanks,

No, just once.
