CDPLAYER.ini Configuration.

[Topsy]

I've got a large CDPLAYER.ini database of classical music which I would like to continue to use with dBpoweramp. A tpical entry looks like this -

dBpoweramp seems to add a bit on the end which looks like this -

genre=classica
comment=
numplay=

So obviously dBpoweramp does it a bit different to the program which originally created it. The real problem is this though: in the entries above the forward slash indicates a track artist (although I use it to indicate track composer), the program that created the entry recognizes this and writes the appropiate tag into the ripped file, dBpoweramp doesn't seem to recognize this and treats the whole line as the title, like -

TITLE
Francesco Xaverio Geminiani / Minuet in C minor

When in fact it should be -

TITLE..............................TRACK ARTIST
Minuet in C minor...............Francesco Xaverio Geminiani

Is there some setup configuration I can make to correct this?

Thanks!

Re: CDPLAYER.ini Configuration.

If I remember correctly the CD Ripper that came with dMC r11.5 had an option to switch the details downloaded from freedb due to the fact that sometimes people had put the artist before the slash and vice versa.

Not sure if the latest CD Ripper has this feature though.

Re: CDPLAYER.ini Configuration.

The standard with CDPlayer.ini is to have

TrackArtist0=
TrackArtist1=

Not like freedb.
