I started using Artist - Beatles, The and quickly decided I simply didn't like either Beatles, The or Beatles.

The band name is The Beatles.

I believe this is a very deliberate choice. There are folders A, B, C so Album Artist - Beatles, The / Bowie, David both go into the B folder, but the filename and Artist metadata read The Beatles /...

Hi Supernaut,

I totally agree with everything that Gary says above, but do use sort tags and some of the Genre tags that he no longer uses as they benefit me and my family.

We are all creating...

Mp3tag uses the upper case ARTIST SORT, even if you have used Artist Sort from dBpoweramp.

Congratulations on completing ripping your collection and maintaining those stats - very interesting. I haven't kept an accurate record of the odd error whilst ripping my CDs, but would be surprised...

It is worth cleaning them first as the ripping time may be reduced and occasionally smudges will cause errors.

Unfortunately there are no real standards for which tags should be supported and it is very common for otherwise extremely competent players to be limited by the software and apps.


Edit. Taking...

Couldn't agree more Gary, and as a language lazy Brit I regularly find non-native English speakers' command of the language (Dat Ei is definitely included :thumbup::thumbup:) truly humbling.

On the main page the box for Year is too small for the full date so the last digit, in this case the 3 from 2009 11 03 cannot be displayed unless you shift the date left. You then lose the first...

Agree with Gary that there is no one right way of doing this.

As my wife has a vast amount of comps, I actually use Album Artist OST for Soundtracks, so displays all Soundtracks together. It works...

Yes you can set it up to work when you rip (encode) your CDs.

Add ID Tag Processing - Manipulation - Capitalization. Then you have a choice of:

All Lowercase
All Uppercase
Capitalize First...

As Gary has mentioned, ReplayGain only writes only a tag, leaving the file bit perfect - this is the one many of us use. I highly recommend you keep a bit perfect master file and backup - especially...

I used batch converter to move FLAC files to USB sticks, embedding the art at a maximum of 600 x 600 KB and 250 file size. This works very well on my Pioneer car unit except for the track order...

To display on the Pioneer, try embedding the cover art with a maximum pixel size 600 x 600 KB and maximum file size of 250.

After experimenting, these are what I needed to do to get art to display...

Low,

I think Gary and Mike have eloquently explained why dBpoweramp isn't free.

Having now ripped 1,000s of CDs over the last few years and previously used iTunes and EAC, I would say that if...

This makes TuneFUSION invaluable.

Thanks Spoon, pleased to see this in R17 Beta where it has already saved some time.

Are there any plans to add this functionality to R16?

Interesting to know Gary. All seems good with the Squeezebox Touch, but I probably had later firmware before trying level 8.

I use a laptop with a basic Celeron processor and have had no issues either encoding, or decoding using level 8.

All friends and work colleagues that I know of use the default setting, except one...

Nice!

Thanks Dat Ei,

mville, I do use ID Tag Processing DSP to reduce file size, but to be able to it with a simple right click in the editing software, will save time and make a very good programme...

Yes, I'm also on Windows 16.6 and have 300 KB checked and this works as intended in CD Ripper. However, if you right click with dBpoweramp Edit ID-Tags, there is no option for file size and the...

I haven't had a look at the R17 Beta yet to see if this is available there, but file size would definitely be very convenient for me (and a work colleague) alongside pixel size in ID Tags in R16.

Great suggestion!
