Meta data lookup and Batchripper
Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered before but, I couldn't find it.
Anyway, I have v16.6 Reference installed on Windows 10 Pro. I bought it ages ago as I had purchased an Acronova Nimbie and I wanted to rip my CD collection. I now want to re-rip to uncompressed FLAC and I have now got Metadata issues. I can use CD Ripper and that does the lookup no problem but, when I use Batchripper I get nothing and the disc gets rejected. I know that AMG is no more so I tried with just GD3, still nothing even with an account setup. I have also tried MusicBrainz and freedb, still nothing.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right but, clearly something is missing.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
We updated Batch Ripper last week to fix metadata issues.
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
So, I have to pay to update to 17.1 to get this fixed?
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
No, batch ripper is a free download, visit our main page then click batch ripper link.
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
Ok, thank you. Was running v2. All sorted now :thumbup:

R4 is creating a 32 bit temp installation file that will not execute. The OS is 32 bit.
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
You need Windows Vista or newer to run Batch Ripper R4

Guilty of hijacking this thread but...
Is metadata free now with R4?
It looks like I lost a chunk of money on prepaid commercial lookups.
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
GD3 is still paid, AMG was discountinued a long time ago (we gave 2 years notice before they switched AMG off).
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
Will R4 pull from any of the free services?
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
Yes freedb, discogs and musicbrainz
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
freedb.org is now supported at gnudb.org. You can simply replace the settings for freedb in dbpoweramp with the new address and it will continue to work.

Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
No need to change anything in the latest version of Batch Ripper, or dBpoweramp, they use our freedb server.
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
I am experiencing this issue.
I recently upgraded my system (a 6 drive windows 10 system) and all software to v17.1 with batch ripper to re-rip my collection. I figure this time around I'll be more thorough and do some testing before I jump in. During this testing the problem I've come across is that occasionally batch ripper will come across a disc that it will find the metadata for but will not find the album art. Where it gets weird is that the same disc using CD ripper acquires all the metadata including the album art.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Re: Meta data lookup and Batchripper
You need to subscribe to GD3 within Batch Ripper, to get the same metadata as CD Ripper.
