    Advanced renaming and wrong CD 2 of a 2CD album

    I purchased dBpoweramp today and I want to rip my CD collection to FLAC.

    I started doing a few test runs, but I ran into a problem right away. Here are the details:
    The first CD is found on Discogs, but the second one is not. I tried a manual search, but I couldn't figure out where (or if it's possible) to paste the Discogs release URL. The second disc isn't detected and it automatically matches a different release across other metadata providers instead.

    This is the naming script I created:

    [IFCOMP][album] - [artist][][IF!COMP][artist] - [album][] [IFVALUE]totaldiscs,[totaldiscs],[IFMULTI]2[][IF!MULTI]1[][]x[IFVALUE]media,[media],CD[][IFVALUE]year, (,[][GRAB]1,4,[year][][IFVALUE]year,),[][IFVALUE]catalog #, [catalog #], [][IFVALUE]label, [label],[][REPLACE]a,\,a[][IFMULTI]Disc [SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][][IFVALUE]disctitle, - [disctitle],[][REPLACE]a,\,a[][][track] [title]


    For the first disc, it generates a folder named like this:

    Star Wars; Return of the Jedi [Remastered Limited Special Edition] - London Symphony Orchestra 2xCD (1997) BG2 68774 RCA

    The second disc should be identical and simply create a Disc 02 directory inside that same folder, but I can't get dBpoweramp to find it. Even when entering the barcode manually, it only finds two separate single-disc editions.

    I'm probably doing something wrong... but I can't figure out what. Could anyone offer some advice? Is there a way to manually select the desired release from a list, similar to how MusicBrainz Picard works?

    CD Ripper open the manual metadata search page, then copy this url to the clipboard and it will display the disc:

    https://www.discogs.com/it/release/6...ure-Soundtrack

      I got it... but maybe something wrong in my naming script...

      it is actually

      John Williams - Return Of The Jedi (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 1xCD (1997) RCA Victor

      instead of:

      John Williams - Return Of The Jedi (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 2xCD (1997) BG2 68748 RCA Victor

        where have I to put precisely the URL?

        in Album, Artist or Barcode?

        because none of those works properly

          1) open manual metadata page
          2) copy the url to clipboard

          the results will automatically populate when copy to clipboard
