Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

It is not a bug, as naming is independent to ID Tags.

So, why is the behaviour for [track] and [disc] not consistent i.e. why is track padding and disc not padding, within the naming string?

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

The naming section is shared between programs, CD Ripper, dMC, Multi Encoder to name a few, it does not have access to CD Rippers ID Tag settings. For naming track numbers are always padded, disc numbers are not (not many people have disc sets of 10 or more discs).

Thank you for the clarification.

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

After purchasing dBpoweramp Reference and PerfectTunes software recently, I've re-ripped and re-organised our CD music collection, using CD Ripper. 169 artists and compilations, 3200 songs, great value software, thank you!

Now that it's done, I want to create a separate MP3 version of the collection so I can copy it to my wife's and my smartphones.

NOTE:
My default Music folder path is:
C:\Users\Brent\OneDrive\Music\*.*

My new path for the MP3 version is:
C:\Samsung S9 Music\*.*

If I setup a profile in Music Converter to do the task (as and when we add new albums to the collection), what do I input into MC's profile dialogs — to suit the MP3 path above?

Set the naming to:

[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][][][]\[origfilename]

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

I like the software but the naming is horrible to understand. Just honest feedback.

I have ripped files to Music\FLAC

I am converting them to MP3 and want to add them to the same artist\song folder structure under

Music\MP3s

Seems really simple but I cannot get it to work even when I copy over the paths from mt old PC with an old version of the software.

Re: Naming Scheme tutorial feedback

What you are asking is quite complex, because your 'Music' folder really is:

c:\users\[username]\Music

so to go from:

c:\users\[username]\Music\FLAC\some folder\possibly another folder\filename.ext

to

c:\users\[username]\Music\mp3\some folder\possibly another folder\filename.ext

You have to trim the first 4 folders:

[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath][][][][]\[origfilename]

Then set your base output folder to: Music\Mp3\

I think I'm having trouble with the IFMULTI. My rule is this:

[IFCOMP]Various[][IF!COMP][IFVALUE]album artist,[REPLACE] ,_,[album artist][],[REPLACE] ,_,[artist][][][]/[REPLACE] ,_,[album][]/[IFMULTI][disc]-[][track]_[REPLACE] ,_,[title][]

and what I get in the dynamic naming section of the ripper for a multi-disc cd is this:

Album_Artist/Album_Title/2-05_Title

But I don't get that when I rip CDs. I can put a single digit in the Disc input field or I can have a pattern like this 1/5 and it makes no difference.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks for any pointers.

I tried to edit the post above. I've solved the problem. I had "Drop disk count" checked in the DSP section. Unchecking that made this work the way it's supposed to.
