Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

Maybe it's time update libFLAC to 1.3.2 for this test build?

[Spoon]

Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

Only when it goes to final release (not beta)

"Bug Fix: Flac tagging, if tag did not have a vendor string (non-standard) then previously was writing a 2nd tag block"

Please provide more info on this.

Also, the Album tag issue persists in this release.

"Bug Fix: Flac tagging, if tag did not have a vendor string (non-standard) then previously was writing a 2nd tag block"

Seems to imply there was some wasted space in the Vorbis block. How would we know if this happened, and how to fix old files?

[Spoon]

Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

Not a wasted space, just a certain program not writing the tags correctly, which dBpoweramp tries to retag and it ends up not replacing the existing tag block because of the tagging error.

"Bug Fix: Album tag was being written as \n when had a ; in the title"

This is not fixed.

My mp3 files still show Album Sort as being split, in this new beta.

... and, the Show Work Movement is still automatically populated with 1, when I rip to flac and the other movement tags are populated.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

You would have to create new MP3 files.

The show work movement tag is supposed to be set to 1 under certain conditions.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

You would have to create new MP3 files.

OK. I'll test this out shortly.

... Spoon, I am confused here.

I have created new mp3 files (from flac) and the problem is still the same, as shown here: Album and Album Sort inconsistency

The show work movement tag is supposed to be set to 1 under certain conditions.

So that I understand fully, please can you confirm these conditions?

Anyone else see this behaviour in the new R16.3 beta 3 release or is it just me?

Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

Updated to Beta 4

With fix for mp3 album sort.

Re: dBpoweramp R16.3 Beta [Windows]

Just had a weird one I've never seen before. Ripped a new CD that seemed to have all the metadata identified fine, but when I went to find the folder, it was titles "Unknown Artist -" and the first track had no artist, title or album tags, but all the others did. Also all of the track filenames were simply " - - 01 - Track 1.flac", " - - 02 - Track 2.flac", etc. Have a look at the screen shots. I just clicked rip again, and this time it's fine. Also, obviously no warning of overwriting, since the folder and filenames are now different (named correctly).
