Batch Ripper and Nimbie USB+ on Windows 11

Re: Batch Ripper and Nimbie USB+ on Windows 11

I bought the Nimbie and am ripping my 3,000 CDs. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW OP BryanO's ADVICE COMPLETELY. I followed the procedure in dBpoweramp web page for using the Nimbie, and either didn't find or skipped the instructions, A) Download and install dbPowerAmp Nimbie Batch Ripper Driver v6, and, B) Configure Batch Ripper to use Nimbie loading (don't use Auto eject / Manual load)--> this means select "Nimbie" not "Auto eject / Manual load." I spent hours trying to get this all working, until I followed OP's instructions completely. This is all really great!!!

I get all the way to B)Configure Batch Ripper to use Nimbie loading.
I, for the life of me cannot find where this is!
When I loaded Driver v6 I didn't get a configure window.
Any ideas?

I am about to fork over the money for a Nimbie. I have 3000 CDs. Did you correct the problem about album art and GD3?
When I'm done, I could offer other people a service to rip, or I can loan out the Nimbie.

Thanks for the detailed step by step. I have the same setup, Win 11 and Nimbie USB, but the problem I'm running into is in tagging the files. The Batch Ripper will work fine ripping and applying the album information, but if I don't use GD3, I won't get album artwork. Do you have any issues related to obtaining album artwork?

I'm wondering if I borked the install and need to start over. (Downloaded some old version from Nimbie and had to do some manual updating)

I made most of the mistakes mentioned in several of the community threads. Community answers have been very helpful - thank you!

Here is a summary in case it can help others:
1. Download and install the Acronova 1.1.3 driver manually (clears all warnings in Windows device manager)
2. Download and install the Acronova 1.3.0.2 R5 QQripper app (needed to support manual rip using dBcdgrab - do not run QQripper with Batch Ripper)
3. Purchase and install dbPowerAmp reference (trial is insuffient for batch ripper)
4. Download and install dbPowerAmp Batch Ripper R4 https://www.dbpoweramp.com/batch-ripper.htm (be sure to install to "\program files\dbPowerAmp")
5. Download and install dbPowerAmp Nimbie Batch Ripper Driver v6 (be sure to install to "\program files\dbPowerAmp")
6. Configure Batch Ripper to use Nimbie loading (don't use Auto eject / Manual load)

Good luck!
