    extract metadata only

    Hi,

    Is there a way to make CD Ripper/Batch Ripper write a file containing only the metadata embedded/retrieved?
    I tried using the [Audio Info] codec and Test Conversion with the Write Metadata DSP effect, but both methods still process each track as if it was ripping.
    As the metadata is already retrieved and presented before ripping, I was hoping that CD/Batch Ripper could write a metadata file without ripping the audio files.

    Sometimes I need to retrieve whatever data is embedded on a CD, and I was hoping I could use Batch Ripper with a Nimbie to quickly process each cd without waiting for it to rip as well.

    Best regards,

    There is 'Write XML' dsp effect, however you will have to rip the CD, even if to [Test Conversion]

      Ah okay, that's what i already tried.
      Is it possible to do via the Run External DSP?

        No, for metadata to be passed from CD ripper it has to rip the track.
