dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Regarding slash vs semicolon separators-
Semicolon is shown when dBpoweramp perceives the field as multiple separate values.

There is an option for this - Configure => Codecs => m4a / mp4 ID Tagging : Multi Tagging
Perhaps you have it set to As a single tag '/' separated ? It will result in files manually tagged with slash for delimiter to be read back as multiple values and rendered back as semicolon separated - even though you have slashes in actual files.

Thanks I will try this.

This morning I tried beta 8. The CD ripper does not create directories automatically. See below error report

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Beta 8 posted, very bad bug causing lockups during conversions has been fixed.

Other issues will be looked into shortly, we're cleaning things up for R16.1 final.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

dBpoweramp R16.6b6
In addition to my previous comment about seprating two composers in Music Converter (to ALAC) ("Jagger/Richards" being altered into "Jagger; Richards").
This now also happens when encoding to ALAC in CD Ripper.
When two or more artists are added and separated by a slash forward, the slash forward is replaced by a semi-colon, f.i.
"Peter Dijkstra/Concerto Köln/Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Regensburger Domspatzen" is altered into "Peter Dijkstra; Concerto Köln; Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks; Regensburger Domspatzen".

I then can only resolve this by manually checking every track and altering the ";" into " /". Since I have to correct +1000 tracks, does anybody perhaps know of a script that does this automatically? Or any other convenient way?

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Thanks for the bug report, apparent incompatibility with Multi Encoder noted.

A new beta will be out soon.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Peter, thank you for the update. I tested the automatic creation of the new subdirectories this weekend.
Today I altered the subdirectory 'cd1' in 'cd2' which resulted in the below errors.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

dBpoweramp R16.6b6
I ran into two issues with Music Converter
1. When two composers are added in the tags, f.i. "Jagger/Richards" it is altered into "Jagger;Richards". In iTunes than just one composer is shown, namely "Jagger"
2. In the Windows version you can convert to multiple codecs simultaneously. It would save time if this would be possible in the Mac Version to.

One suggestion. When you tag files in one directory it would be easy if you could easily go to the next or previous file, instead of closing the first, opening the next, like in iTunes.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Thank you very much!

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

OK, starting with the next update, manually altering ripping destination will automatically create new folders instead of complaining about invalid destination.

[Thijs_Alphen]

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Please clarify where (Batch Converter? Ripper?) and how exactly you're running into this.
Are you manually entering not-yet-existing folder name in CD Ripper target path? If so, I'll allow such.[/QUOTE]

In the Ripper when I altered the name of the folder in the previous rip, for use in a new rip

example :
previous rip:/Volumes/My Book Duo/Muziek en Video/Downtempo/Various/Hôtel Costes 09
for the next rip I wish the alter the location by merely changing '09' manually in '10', to: /Volumes/My Book Duo/Muziek en Video/Downtempo/Various/Hôtel Costes 10

sometimes two directories need to be created
example:
previous rip: /Volumes/My Book Duo/Muziek - wav/Downtempo/Various/Hôtel Costes 09/cd
for the next rip I wish the alter the location by merely changing '09' manually in '10', to: /Volumes/My Book Duo/Muziek - wav/Downtempo/Various/Hôtel Costes 10/cd

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

i think i found an error which is still present in beta 5:

when the automatically found cover isn't correct or low-fi or so, in earlier versions i loaded another cover by drag and drop from safari or by hitting load (from file). When i do so in the beta it shows the new cover but writes the originally found cover to the file.

greetings,
toby

Drag and drop adds another picture to the list rather than replacing the existing one. Please remove the existing picture first. Note that the text below the picture will say "2 of 2" and so on if there is more than one picture.

Dear Peter,
R16.5 The Edit Dynamic Naming appears to work fine now, like in W10. However, dBpoweramp does not create the to be created directory.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Hey Toby,

AFAIR there has been a change with R16. If you want to replace the actual album art/front cover, you have to delete it first, before you can use "drag and drop" or "load" to set the only front cover. Otherwise the new album art will be an additional one.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.1 for mac OS beta: discussion

Additionaly or as the only one?

Hmm, good question, it was meant as the only one. I only click the litte dots, select load (from file) and select the Cover. Or i dragged an image from Safari into the ripper-window. At least in the last versions i used, this replaced the Cover with the new one and didn't make an additional one out of it. In the folder there is only one .jpg fole exported from dBpoweramp.
Hope this helps.
