Discussion of dMC R13

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

And a couple of minor remarks:

-> Sometimes the Rip status shows only "Complete" even on tracks which according to the log is "Secure". (This appears not only to Hidden track 00s.)

-> Putting the active metadata sources in light blue is a bad idea, I think -- it looks like the other way around (since they appear as greyed out).

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

PerfectMeta does not handle HTOA correctly. Even though each of the metadata sources do, PerfectMeta will write it as (example with 8 tracks)

0 <Name of track 1>
1 <Name of track 2>
2 <Name of track 3>
3 <Name of track 4>
4 <Name of track 5>
5 <Name of track 6>
6 <Name of track 7>
6 <Name of track 8>
8 Track 8.


Error is consistent when I press Alt-m, and also when it tags and names the ripped files (the last track will be tagged and named as an Unknown artist).


Tried two discs and two drives, same result.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

I think that is unfortunate as there is a lot of potential gain from looking at BOTH freedb choices!

And as long as it does an(y) automatic choice, then the prompt asking the user to pick a freedb choice is (1) unnecessary (since it isn't used) and (2) misleading (since it suggests that my choice will influence the outcome). Annoying, really -- I find myself turning freedb off (since freedb data can be looked-up afterwards.)

You need a higher screen resolution to get the art work preview.

Here is a picture of the missing album art preview:

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

where the album art normally is (bottom right) is now sqeezed off to the side and I cannot preview album art.

Are we able to preview art from multiple sources?

It just picks the first freedb choice automatically.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Don't know whether this should be here or in the appropriate wishlist thread, but: The different freedb choices should be moved to the Alt-M menu, I think. As of now, you might have to choose from multiple freedb matches first (possibly many times, for whatever reason ...) and then the PerfectMeta will choose, based on AMG--GD--MusicBrainz--freedb.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Just started ripping my CD collection to flac this week and noticed a few bugs in the latest R13. Installed R13 over R12 reference on Windows XP Pro.

- very annoying bug in Options -> tag settings. When clicking on the scroll bar to scroll the list, it will check/uncheck whatever tag is to the left of where you grabbed the scroll bar.

- minor problem to me, but if you double click a track in the main screen CD ripper starts playing the track. But the audio is very garbled. Should not affect ripping but its a little disconcerting.

- When correcting items on the Perfect Meta Review page, they do not get transferred back to the poweramp main screen. Not sure if its suppose to do this but it seems like it should.

Hope this is helpful.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Fantastic job on the new PerfectMeta feature! Ripped about 25 CDs last night and its seems to grab the correct set of tag data nearly every time.

Tag Mapping will make it to R13.

Wait to buy another year of AMG until your current AMG subscription runs out.
