Settings for compilation or various artists albums.

[Supermjj]

Hello, I have just bought db Poweramp cd ripper and works fine with groups and artists cd's, but when i try to rip compilations or various artists on a mac it does not put the album into a folder. It seems to put each track as a folder, then you have put those folders (tracks) into a folder as a compilation folder and this makes it a tedious task (hope this makes sense).Can someone please tell me what the settings are supposed to be for compilations/various artist cd's. Didn't have this problem when i was using windows trial edition, but i would prefer to use this on my mac because this is my main computer. Thankyou.

Re: Settings for compilation or various artists albums.

have you ticked the "compilation" flag on the ripper screen? And you might add an album artist (Various Artists). And modify your naming string to put compilation flagged albums into their own folder. This is what I use:

[MAXLENGTH]240,[IFCOMP]Compilations\[album][IFMULTI]\Disc [disc][]\[track] - [title] - [artist][][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[album artist],[artist][]\[album][IFMULTI]\Disc [disc][]\[track] - [title][][]

This is for windows. If a Mac, change the backslashes to forwardslashes.

I think that might have done it, i've changed the "back slashes" to "forward slashes" like you said and it seems to be working. Thank you.
