    Dynamic Naming now "limited"?

    It appears that with R16 it is no longer possible to create or modify dynamic name formula unless the standard [title] tag is used.

    I formerly used a formula that had a custom tag that I used in the string instead of [title]. I called it [TrackFilename]

    I installed R16 on a new Windows 10 PC, created all of the custom tags I previously used, but CD Ripper will not let me save the change the [TrackFilename] tag to [title].

    The entire formula:

    [composer]\[genre]\[tag]SubGenre[]\[tag]Composition[]\[tag]AlbumFolderName[]\[tag]CompositionPart[]\FLAC\[tag]TrackFilename[]

    This is unfortunate, because I want to use a different naming convention for the track names than I used for the title.

    I also went back to the older PC, which was originally R15 but was in-place upgraded to R16 a few months ago.

    The formula above is what is in place on that installation, and it works exactly as desired.
    But if I open the dialogue try to save it without any changes I get that same prompt telling me I cannot.

    Is there a way to override this behavior?

    I meant to say:

      You can manually edit it in the registry,

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\d MCCodec\FLAC

      if using flac

        I don't see dMCCodec (or dMC-Codec) key or folder.

        Do I add it?
        And Can I add one for MP3 also?

          No, it should exist already. For CD Ripper this is the right location:

          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\C DRipper\Profiles\(default)
