Beginner question on dynamic naming

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

Thanks. An MBID tag will show up once in a while. Not sure what that is.

I think I'm ready to start ripping in earnest. I still have a little bit of a hiccup in Audirvana with various artists discs, but I think it is more a problem with that program and not with my tagging. So, I'll bug the people on their forums for that!

You guys have been so great helping me out. I really appreciate the time you both took to answer my endless questions. I promise to search first before I ask any more. I hope this thread will help others out.

Have fun ripping!
p.s. it's a unique CD identifier related to the MusicBrainz database.

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

Hi Guys! Hope you all are having a great weekend. I've been happily ripping my single artists discs and things are going well. I did have a question about the tags for my various artist discs, however. Do these tags look correct to you?



If I change artist and artist sort to various artists, it changes all of the individual artists below to various artists.

Thanks1

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

Looks correct to me. Only album artist and album artist sort should be various artists. Artist and artist sort should be actual artist name.

On more question: What does the rip status indicate on track one?

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

It is a secure rip but does not match the accuraterip database. You could try a different drive. But this sometimes happens.

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

Thanks. Some of my older CDs have errors.

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

I try cleaning CD and ripping on a different optical drive. But even with a error, these are sometimes not audible in playback.

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

Thanks! Are there any other things I need to check in the bottom of the box?

I would add the albumsort tag and drop "The" from the beginning.

Re: Beginner question on dynamic naming

Thanks GB. I was wondering about that tag. I'll try it on my next rip and see if Audirvana reacts to it. I would probably add the "the" at the end after a comma.

Probably not really necessary to move to the end, unless you have similar but different title with and without "The" that you need to differentiate.
