,But maybe the 'Length' tag does not appear because - as you say - once checked it is automatic? Paul

Correct.

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

no clue. And wrong thread. But if you tick length, the cd ripper will automatically fill in length tag when you rip.

Gary, Cheers. So I don't even need to create/write in a field for 'Length'. 'dBpa' will complete the tag/info. for me behind the scenes. I was assuming I would have to perform something like:

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

Hi again, If I check the 'Length' box in the 'Tag ID Options' window (ie. so as to permit this particular tag to show on compatible devices):



... and then I call up the 'Create New Tag' on the bottom of the page (as per screenshot):



... there is no choice (in the pop-up scroll) for 'Length'!? I would have thought that all of the possible tags offered in the 'Tag ID Options' (first screenshot) would appear in the lower pop-up of 'Create New Tag'. Or do you just have to type in the ones which are missing, please? Thanks.

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

Gary, Thanks. But hopefully none will need correcting! Paul

Tinkering with tags is practically my part time job. I'm always noticing tiny inconsistencies or changing my genre categories. I changed probably 400 file tags today when I added some new cd rips to my library and noticed some inconsistencies in older rips. Fortunately I was doing this in a batch way with only a few mouse clicks. All while sitting on my deck, listening to music, facing the ocean, with a breeze, drinking an ice cold craft beer. (What I'm doing right now while typing this on my ipad).

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

Oggy, Is that when you use 'Perfect Tunes'? Paul

You'd use PerfectTUNES, for checking for inconsistencies, improved artwork and if a CD did not give an AccurateRip, amongst other things.

I've re-ripped tracks from CDs with multi-frame errors, on a different CD drive, after the results from PerfectTUNES.

Just saying that you can add tags later, if required - it's not a big job, so rip away!

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

Various ways, but simple way is right click the file(s) in windows explorer and choose "dbpoweramp -Edit ID Tags". Then do all the album or track level tag editing you want.

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

You can always add them later, if you find you need them.

Hi mville, Do you think it's OK then for me to just forget about 'Album Name Sort' then, please? I think I am goin' to get a bit wound up an inundated with the whole tagging malarkey as opposed to moving forward and enjoying the ripping process! I think -
for me - 'Album Artist Sort' and 'Artist Sort' are plenty to be goin' on with. Cheers, Paul

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

Yes.

Thanks for confirming, mville.

[garym]

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

I do, but only to sort albums chronologically.

You must be putting date in the album sort tag? e.g. ALBUMSORT = 1973 - Phases and Stages, ALBUM = Phases and Stages

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

There is a UK Classical composer called: Mark Anthony Turnage!

If Vaughan Williams had a hyphen, like Mark-Anthony, there would be no confusion!

Re: Ripping Level Question (help?)

Yes, it is, but, I couldn't think of any other double-barrelled named, composer, there is no hyphen, and Vaughan, can also be a Christian name. But fair point.
