I'm a longtime user of Reference for batch-ripping - love this product! I assume Batch Ripper uses CD Ripper's metadata settings, thus my post here.
1. I want to force Ripper to only use Musicbrainz for metadata. Nothing else. In CD Ripper/Options/Active Providers, I've unticked everything except MusicBrainz. When ripping in Batch, I still have albums that show [freedb] as the provider. If Musicbrainz fails to retrieve a disc then I'd rather have it fail so I can address manually.
2. I'd like to use the %albumyear% tag from Musicbrainz in file naming. See here for their tag list. Find albumyear. This helps tag Led Zeppelin/Physical Graffiti as 1975, instead of 1994 when the CD was apparently released. Any way to accomplish this?
3. When Musicbrainz (or any provider, I guess) returns multiple DiscIDs in Batch Ripper, what decision does it make? I'd like to reject those so I can intervene manually. Some artists press disc sets that *exactly match* the individual studio versions of albums. I'd rather disambiguate by having the album be called by its original name.
My Disc Makers Elite Micro is churning along. I appreciate you and your work, @Spoon!
