I've been thinking. DBP has a verification feature, to make sure that the end file is 100% identical to the original file. How come all converters/rippers don't have this thing?

So, I gave beta7 a go and I can confirm that the problem with recognizing some discs is gone. I ripped 20 CDs and tried the discs the app didn't recognize before. All worked well.

Now I'm beginning to be really happy with the app and the last remaining complaints are basically to do with how to interact with the app

UI:
- I find it frustrating that I can't use tab to move between elements when modifying the tags for artist, album, etc.
- I don't understand why editing the settings/profiles is not allowed unless there is a CD in the drive

Tagging:
- I would still really like to see a metadata import from discogs
- Would be great if I could select that spaces would be replaced by underscores or %20 in the file names
- A more powerful tools for tagging would be great (like... capitalize the first letter of every word, etc.)

Looking good.

Thank you for confirming :smile2:

The safest way is to wait for full release.

Hi Spoon

I'm really looking forward to the final version release estimated around Christmas time :smile2:

In the meantime, I'm using the full PC version and so I'm not in a great hurry to download the current beta test version to my Mac. I appreciate that other Mac users may not be in the same fortunate position to use both systems (PC & Mac) and will be using the beta test version on their Macs.

Since I don't need a Mac version imminently (even tough I prefer to use the Mac rather than my PC), do you suggest that I simply wait for the final Mac version (which is fine) or shall I download the beta test version for later registration, once the final version becomes available?

Whilst I appreciate that this is entirely a matter for me to decide, I'm wanting a really 'clean' install on my 'precious' Mac and wondered whether it was 'safer' to wait for the official release - to avoid any left over parts of the test program clogging up the Mac.

I look forward to your recommendation because it may not make any difference to the final outcome, but thought it sensible to consult the expert first rather than rush into anything!

I have either 8 or 16 gb of memory, pretty sure it is the later. I was playing music files at times, but not the ones I was converting. I really don't know what caused it. I was just guessing. It did work when all was shut down other than DB. Thanks much for such a great, trust worthy software. I have been using it for years on windows.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Do you think it was a memory issue, or the fact these files were being used in something else?

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Just an update, problem solved by shutting other activities down. Shut down music playing software, and other programs that would be affecting resources on the mini.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

What could be causing the crash? Any steps that I could that to possibly prevent it from crashing? I am using latest mini with i5.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

I don't think so. Because when looking at things through the converter window the individual files are not showing.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

No Limit, the restart is likely a crash. Are you able to isolate it to specific files?

[mjock3]

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Is there a limit to the number of songs that are able to be converted? The beta seems to be restarting after a certain amount of time. I was hoping to convert an entire fold I have and am unable to do so.

Can anyone tell me the possibilities?

Thanks

Was this your last post?

Yes, thanks. What happened to it? It disappeared from the page and I tried refreshing several times. It's only back this morning.

Hi Spoon,

First off THANK YOU for working on the Mac version. I've been waiting over a decade.

Next ...


Isn't there some way you could use "drutil -list" and "drutil -drive n eject" to control a robot? Oh ... wait, you're talking about actual robotic loaders like those built into specialised CD printers.

Have you looked at this device? http://www.acronova.com/product/nimb.../2/review.html and its associated software?

Was this your last post?
