Batch Converter Network Access Question

[souwalker]

Hi

I realise I can possibly use the Batch Converter to run ReadyGain on FLAC file I did not use this feature on my earlier rips.

Question is all my FLAC files are in my NAS. dbPoweramp is working fine with the network path but with the Batch Convertor, I cannot seem to access my NAS.

When I tick the 'Network' icon, I get the following message:
""Only folders within a network can be set for inclusion.""

If I click Network via Windows Explorer, I have no issue.

I am trying to run ReadyGain Utility in batch mode on some of my FLAC files in my NAS. AS in my earlier post, I am unable to use the right click>convert option as this can only be done one file at a time.

Any clues?

Map the network share to a drive letter, then it will work.

Thanks Spoon :-)

I just mapped the NAS to a letter drive and now the Batch Converter can see the Music folder in my NAS.

I ticked the 'Music' folder and now all my artist and albums are selected as well. Looking good.

So you suggest to run ReplayGain on my entire collection overnight? I've ripped about 90 CDs already. Only about 20-30 do not have ReplayGain . I discovered this feature about 30 rips later :-(

How long would 90 CDs take?

Spoon, sorry to sound long-winded, but would you please re-assure me that by running the ReplayGain Utility via the Batch Converter, will not alter the 90+ CDs (about 30% no ReplayGain & 70% already applied ReplayGain) I have already ripped to FLAC? It's just that it took me over a week to rip those 90+ CDs and it was hard work :-) I still have about 700+ to go :-)

It is difficult to say, will just have to try.

Mmmh..ok.

Then as an alternative, is there something in the FLAC tag that I can see that I have done ReplayGain compared to the files I have not? I know generally (but not accurately) which CDs I did not do ReadyGain as I file my ripped CDs in ripped order so I just need some sort of identifier in the Tag to confirm this. I only have about 30 cds with no ReplayGain so it's not too time consumming to identify if there were tags.

They would have ReplayGain tags, it is visible on the Right click >> Edit Tag page.

In windows explorer, correct?

Will the tag be titled 'ReplayGain' or something else? I need the correct identifier name, thanks :-)
