Problems with multi-disc file naming in R15.3

[LazLong]

I have a three-disc set I want to rip, Vangelis - Blade Runner, 25th Anniversary. I've set the metadata to 1/3, and I'm trying to get the file name to be:

Vangelis - Blade Runner, 25th Anniversary (Disc 01) - 01 - Main Titles.flac

[Artist] - [Album] - [track] - [title]

I've tried to modify the multi-disc options to put the disc number formatted as above by using a modified built-in preset:


[album] (Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[discnum])

However, when I change the multi-disc naming options to anything other than default set at install it seems to break, and doesn't make any changes for multi-disc sets. Even if I choose one of the other built-in options from the pop-up list in options the multi-disc naming breaks (doesn't happen).


Am I being stupid?

[SETLEN]2,48,,[discnum][]

It needs the [] to end the statement

Oops. Sorry. Missed that the brackets end statements. However, this didn't help. I think it goes beyond my missing the end statement.

When setting the file naming options in CD Ripper, checking the "Show Example as Multi-CD Set" box doesn't modify the Example data if in CD Ripper: Options: Meta Data: Options I choose any of the other preset values for the "Multi-CD Add Disc to Album" pop-up menu other than the default "[album], Disc [discnum]". Likewise, when creating the ripped files, CD Ripper ignores the setting for "Multi-CD Add Disc to Album" if anything other than the default "[album], Disc [discnum]" is chosen, be it one of the presets or something I enter myself.

Here is the data I've entered for the tags:



"Disc" is set to 1/3, so shouldn't this tell CD Ripper that it is part of a multi-disc and name files accordingly?

Please can you post your full Naming string, that isn't working for multi-disc CDs?

Are you using [SETLEN]2,48,,[discnum] to pad disc number? If, yes, you can set:
CDRipper >> Options >> Meta Data & ID Tag
and tick Pad disc number to 2 digits (ie 01) instead.

Naming: [Artist]\[Artist] - [Album]\[Artist] - [Album] - [track] - [title]



Meta Data & ID Tag: PerfectMeta Options: Multi-CD Add Disc to Album: [album] (Disc [discnum])



These settings do not add the (Disc 1) to the [album] field when writing the file. i.e. I'm getting Vangellis - Blade Runner - 01 - Main Titles.flac

If I use the above settings and click on the "Set" button next to the "Naming" field in the main CD Ripper window and then check "Show Example as Multi-CD Set" the dialog box flickers (refreshes) but the contents of the "Example" field do not change.



The same thing happens if I choose any preset other than the default, which is the first selection in the pop-up menu, with value set to [album], Disc [discnum]. Likewise, the file naming isn't written in the multi-CD format if I choose any other preset other than the first option in the pop-up menu OR I enter my any custom multi-CD naming options, evens ones copied and pasted from the other presets.

Please give the following naming a try:

[IFVALUE]album artist,[tags]album artist, - [],[IFCOMP]Compilation[][IF!COMP][artist][][]\[album]\[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track] [title]

What happens?

Naming: [Artist]\[Artist] - [Album]\[Artist] - [Album] - [track] - [title]

I would also point out that with this Naming string, you could potentially get extremely long folder\filepaths, which in windows, is restricted to 260 characters.

Try replacing [album] with [album] (Disc [disc])

For the disc in question I get:

\Vangelis\Blade Runner\1-10 Main Titles.flac

Also, in the "Set File Naming" dialog box the example is properly processed, both for single disc and multi-disc examples. I think this reenforces the idea that there is a problem of processing/evaluating the statement in the "Options:Meta Data & Id Tag Options:Perfect Meta Options:Multi-CD Add Disc to Album" field.

Yes, thank you; I am aware of Window's lameness in this respect, and plan my paths accordingly. Most commonly used Linux and Mac OS X file systems have an unlimited path length, and I wish Microsoft would drop this bit of cruft.

Try replacing [album] with [album] (Disc [disc])

Where are you suggesting I replace [album], in the "Naming" field in the main CD Ripper window, or in the "Options:Meta Data & Id Tag Options:Perfect Meta Options:Multi-CD Add Disc to Album" field? If in the latter, that is exactly what has started this thread as that was what I tried initially; if the former then yes, that works, but again, this shows that the Multi-CD album naming feature is not working. Isn't detecting and appropriately naming multi-CD titles the reason the "Multi-CD Add Disc to Album" option exists?

I was suggesting replacing [album] in your Naming string, which you have discovered works. FYI, I have the Multi-CD Add Disc to Album set to (never).

As with many of the functions/options in CDRipper, it is not entirely clear on either what the function/option does OR exactly when the result of the function/option is applied in the ripping/tagging process. In my experience, if it isn't working as I expect, I use a solution that is, which in this case is to simply add (Disc [disc]) to the Naming string.
