Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

Hi,

Now that I have d/l and re-tagged the newly purchased "Miles On The Corner" FLAC from Qobuz, I have a question regarding 'Replay Gain', please.

Obviously the CD does not have 'Replay Gain' applied at the moment, but I would like to add it. I am not sure if everything is set correctly within 'Batch Conversion'?:

There are two fields: 'Replay Gain' and 'Track & Album Gain.

Many thanks,

Paul

yes, your settings are correct.

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

The d/l files from qobuz are tagged already, but not in a way that most dBpa users would like. The same is true for the filenames. To make a long story short - there is a little work to be done to get the tags and file names the way you like.

Hi Dat Ei,

The "Miles On The Corner Complete" boxset d/l from Qobuz was pre-tagged as:

Each disc had a completed 'Copyright' field and also a 'Description'; both of which I deleted.

Sorry for the late reply but by now your questions have already been answered by Dat Ei, I hope.

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

Hi evasv,

After purchasing and d/l an album (ie. from Qobuz), then would I just use 'I.D. Tag' to create the tags on each track? Or do I still have to run the FLACS thru 'dBpa', please?

I ask because I have literally never purchased a music d/l before, and also have only ripped from a hard-copy CD.

Cheers.

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

An album art with with a resolution of 600px * 600px is usually embeded. Aside of that there is a high res album art which you can download separately. Usually I substitute the low res with the high res album art.

The track and disc number tagging is ok. I rename the files so that these correspond to my naming sheme which i use in dBpa - no problem with mp3tag.

If you like to have "Replay Gain" you have to use Batch Converter, what is no big deal at all.

Dat Ei,

OK, thanks a lot.

I am buying the boxset fLAC with my Xmas money, so it will be next week.

Thanks Dat Ei,

So it might just be a case of adding any fields you feel are required (such as 'Producer' or 'Conductor')?

Do you find the artwork to be suffice?

With a boxset, are the tracks/CDs saved as: 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 (in the same way that we - on here - save them)? So that you can play an entire boxset all the way through with no breaks.

What about the DSP 'Replay Gain'? Does this need to be applied post d/l?

Much appreciated,

Paul

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

Thanks for the info. If this is true for all Qobuz downloads, and if crc check for the FLACs are ok, I guess for CD quality, it would be as safe or even better than a physical CD.

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

Hi evasv,

Here is a quick reply I just received tonight from Qobuz:

Cheers.

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

I've never tried to download more than one format, so I have no idea. But if you needed both WAV and FLAC, it would be easy to buy one and use Music Converter to transcode it to the other.

Hi JH,

Oh yes; of course. I see.

Cheers,

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

But are you able therefore to d/l the album in multiple formats? Or would you have to re-purchase the file again in another format (if you desired it in, say, WAV and FLAC)? I would be surprised if this was the case.

I only require FLAC.

Re: The 49 Year Old Virgin!

Maybe you can see my uploads in the meantime.

Dat Ei,

It's a shame your images are still not showing. I reported this yesterday.
