dBpoweramp would not do this

A request for perfect tunes

Having just transcoded 7500 tracks, perfect tunes reports reports i have 119 inaccurate rips, this is ok i can dig the cd's out and re-rip them, however if I go to print the information text (so I have a list of the discs I need to find) it's coming out at 84 pages !!!

It would be very handy to just create a list of the album titles/artists which contain the failed rips. Then I could print it out and gather those discs before returning to the PC and checking which tracks I need to re-rip.

Actually it does, and in one case when the rip failed, it created a version with (3) in the same folder when I ran it again.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

It suggests these a temporary files, they should not exist at the end of ripping (the file either replaces the real file, or is deleted if there is an error).

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Does DBPoweramp ignore parantheses or brackets after album titles? I had two albums with the same name, but one had "(Instrumental Demos)" tacked onto the end, because the files were all instrumental. Each album had different artwork, but the Instrumental Demos version didn't show up in the album list. I selected the one without the suffix, and it automatically applied the artwork to both albums, which I didn't expect it to do. I wanted to keep the artwork for the instrumental demos different, as it was intended to have different artwork when it was released. Is it possible to select a file from the computer to apply to the other album? When I search for art for the instrumental album, it doesn't find it.

Also on an unrelated note, almost every time I try to apply album art, it says "error writing to file", yet my music player picks up the change just fine. I don't know what the issue is there.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

PerfectTunes would do this yes, it removes such from the end as it often gets in the way.

If the files are set to read only, then folder.jpg would still write, but the art would not embed.

How would you suggest I name different masters/release so this doesn't happen

I name different releases like this:

What's Going On
What's Going On (2008 MFSL)

Out of Our Heads
Out of Our Heads (US)

Couldn't Stand The Weather
Couldn't Stand The Weather (SACD 24-88) (2011 MFSL)

Fragile
Fragile (DVD-audio 5.1 surround 24-96)
Fragile (SACD 24-88) (2011 Japan Remaster)

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Suggestion for Album Art: When you change the settings of image size you get an option to update any previously "Perfect Tuned" at a lower resolution. I PT'd all mine to 600x600 before realising the option for a large size. But changing to a larger size and re-running does not have teh expected effect of increasing the size to the max available.

Might I suggest you get dbPoweramp reference edition and a good drive that supports accurate-rip well for your ripping?

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Weird, now PgUp/PgDn/End/Home works... Focus was probably on something else when I tried it.

There is definitely something fishy going on here. Now it doesn't work again, and the problem only comes in PerfectTunes (currently running dedup again).
If i restart the program it will most likely work again, so something happens with this during execution. Maybe some variable doesn't get reset after listening to a track or so?

[Spoon]

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Which program? just the dedup? try pressing tab, as if there is control which has focus, which should not, it would correct that.

[Spoon]

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

The album art program shows in complete albums, if you have 400K tracks, that might be 134K albums....if the album art is of sufficient quality it is left untouched.

>The album art I am seeing in the screen looks correct there where a couple that looked strange one was somebody apparently lowering a baby into a bath tub

As with any database there are always anomalies, if you remember the name of your album we can look it up.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Is it possible to choose a file from your computer to apply as album art if PerfectTunes can't find the correct art for the album in question?
