0) I believe ID-Tag is also a dBpoweramp (or "illustrate"?) product?

yes

1) Should I expect to be able to perform relatively simple editing of the file metadata [using ID-Tag], and on multiple...

You can have multiple instances of dbpa CD Ripper running on your computer at the same time (just start the program running multiple times). Just start 5 different instances running, and select the...

there is. Check your settings

I don't think the update to fix this that @spoon mentions has happened yet. Give it a bit more time (and test AFTER the next update).

no.

I couldn't agree more. I could have written the above statements verbatim regarding my own experience. I tried briefly to use two instances, and it mostly just confused my work flow. The careful...

I would Google the terms: Mac FLAC and player. . And see what options come up. I know there&*8217;s a foobar2000 for Mac

got it. So you will just need software to transfer the FLAC files to your player. I assume this can be done by directly connecting the player to your Mac and transferring the files. the Astell and...

as a windows user, i'm not a good source for Mac players. I use foobar2000 to play on windows, and I know they now have a Mac version. But that's for mostly playing via my computer speakers. For my...

And experiment a bit with your rips early on. Try single disks, multi disks, various artists, etc. Play around with a few rips of these types and see how your music server and player report things....

my metadata options. See attached pdf file at link. this will only be there a couple of days, so save if you want it. Note: there is no right answer here. tagging is a very personal thing.

I ripped my over 5,000 CDs to FLAC with dbpa at -5 compression. If I was doing it again I'd use -8 (maximum). Keep in mind these are all lossless (bitperfect copies of the original CD). It takes a...

to add to this, my use of FLAC is not at all based on file size savings. It is based on wanting a lossless codec, with widespread support, that has standard support of metadata (tagging) and built in...

Look at the tags of the file using dbpoweramp or any tagging program. if there are replaygain tags, they will show up (just like ARTIST, GENRE, etc.). There could be 4 tags, ALBUM GAIN, TRACK GAIN,...

something is not right as these are all lossless and should sound identical. Are you sure that Apple Music or your phone is not adding soundcheck (volume adjustment) values to the files. Do the...

You can run multiple instances of CD Ripper on your computer, with each instance you start setup up to use the different CD Drives. This is not automated as with a batch ripper. Each time a CD is...

are you asking about the folder/file names (seen in browsing a directory) or in some sort of music player (that is showing things based on the metadata (tags)? If files/folder, what would you like...

it will save settings

My music server can sort albums by the date tag field, so even without Album Sort tags (or date being included in Album field), I can see my albums sorted chronologically. A nice feature.

I hope you mean your ARTISTSORT and ALBUM ARTISTSORT tags.....

Almost, just before....Leo. But also keep in mind that once stored away, I never expect to actually look at or use a physical CD. Just can't bring myself to part with them. And technically, it's...

should work but I'm not expert on those fields. I personally don't use any sort tags. Sometimes simple is better. I even reorganized my physical CDs to match the "first name" alphabetized order of...

All good. Should be able to load up all your albums and run that action to remove " from artist. Note that this changes the ARTIST tag, but doesn't change the file name or folder name. Once the tag...

That should work perfectly. You can create a new action, as noted. Any questions about how, post on the mp3tag forum.
