    Map tags to other tags

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of migrating from EAC (with which I ripped many thousands of CDs over many years) to dbPoweramp. So far, things have been good. It's so much quicker to rip and the process of ripping a CD is easier. Also, the interface is friendlier. After a few days playing with it, ripping almost 200 CDs (using 5 drives simultaneously), I can't see myself going back.
    I do have an issue with a few tags that are named differently between the two programs. The examples I noticed are: TOTALTRACKS->TRACKTOTAL, TOTALDISCS->DISCTOTAL and DATE->YEAR. I would like my CDs to be tagged consistently (my tagging program expects that), so would like to set up dbPoweramp to use the same tagging convention that was used for the rest of my CDs. I tried playing with the "ID Tag Processing" DSP effect, which seemed like it could help, but couldn't make it do it.
    Any way to map the tags the way I'm used to?
    Thanks

    DATE->YEAR

    This is in dBpoweramp control Center >> codec list/options under tagging for flac.

    The Latter is not possible to change because they are sent to the encoder as:

    2/3 for example, the disc and it is pulled out of that string then. Really you would be better to update your existing tags to the newer standard which is no used as DISCTOTAL and TRACKTOTAL for flac.

    Converting your existing FLAC >> FLAC with dBpoweramp would update those, have a backup before you do.

      Thanks for pointing me to the DATE->YEAR setting.
      As for updating my existing tags, my library is huge and is backed up on the cloud, so I prefer to keep the old convention even if it is older. I now have a python script to convert new files to the old convention for the other tags, so all is well.
