My fairly old (8 years or so) QNAP pretty much comes to a halt when using the QNAP backup app to back up the drives to an external USB drive. It takes forever to save files from dBpoweramp, or for...

I've saved my naming strings and other settings as a text file, so I have them in the event I need to reinstall. Very useful when I switch to a newer computer.

For a better understanding of the string editing language used here to make the filenames, look in the dBpoweramp help file for custom naming. If you've installed the software on your C drive and...

Not clear from your description, you are using a SATA to USB adapter? It is possible some won't work properly, although I've used several different models over the years without difficulty. I can't...

Have you looked at the rip log generated? That will tell you why it is inaccurate Also if you rip it more than once is the CRC after ripping red or green. If red, then it didn't get the same...

If your player uses tags, not file and directory names (like most) to select the tracks to play, you don't have to bother to change the file or directory names. It makes no difference what they are,...

Yes basically. However if the replay gain settings are messed up, no reason to clear the tags, just run the replay gain DSP in batch converter (once you solve your access problem) again, it will...

Make sure you are opening the batch converter, not the music converter. There should be a list of all your mapped drives/directories by drive letter (and a few other locations.) Before each one...

What revision of dBpa are you using? This feature and how it works with the date and genre were updated a revision or two ago. But I proceed as I described above all the time, with all the tags,...

When you highlight a track (or a group of tracks) the fields at the top change the values of only the highlighted tracks, not all. Exceptions are album stuff like album artist or album title. But...

From previous posts answered by Spoon, I recall the replay gain apply DSP applies the replay gains already in the tags, not new ones. Therefore you'd run the convert twice, first to create the tags,...

I've been ripping a lot of "popular" (as opposed to my usual Caribbean) music recently. I've noticed in some cases it appears that someone, probably someone from the record company, loads the...

The issues would appear to be in the digital players. I've never experimented with recording the output when you push "play". If you don't want some form of clicks, the player would need to fade in...

Yes, you can copy metadata from one rip to another. Put enough basic metadata with the new recording so you can find the files afterwards. Then open two instances of Windows Explorer, one of the...

Not sure whether this question is for me or for fidtheforce? I'm using Mcaffee. If I go to the actual Discogs page with the artwork, I have no problem dragging a copy of it to dBpoweramp. It just...

For a few hundred CDs, no need for a Nimbie. I recently acquired what now appears to be about 2000 pop CDs (for free) from a radio station that was about to dump them. I've been spasmodically...

Well, how large is your collection? That would probably influence your collection. If you only have a few hundred CDs, it will probably take you longer to get your Nimbie working than it will just...

Wow, congratulations. First, you keep statistics better than I. I know how many folders there are, and how many files. Windows Explorer tells me that, but I have quite a few files that weren't...

You don't really need an (expensive) enclosure. Just get a sata to USB adapter that comes with a power supply. The drive is already in its own box. Plug the cables in, you are good to go.

I...

I also continue to have the issue that the Discogs album art doesn't get copied to my dBpoweramp album data when I successfully use the manual metadata search feature.

Also, a "feature request",...

Actually, what is far more likely if you are ripping is that you are getting accuraterip data for the wrong CD. This is particularly true for CDs with one or few tracks, as you may have already...

Gary, sorry to stick this here, but the Private Message link says you have too many stored private messages and can't receive new ones...

No, the built in internal laptop drives are, in most cases no better than the external ones. The good drives, in my experience, are the "internal" 5 1/4 full height desktop drives. Use them with a...

As one who struggled with Latin, then Spanish in High School (Hey, that's why I become an Inguneer!) (To this day, I remember only about a dozen words in Spanish, I can count to six.)I have always...

Excuse me for getting away from the OP's issue, but a couple of comments on using the EBU R128 standard for volume normalization. While it works fairly well with a lot of material, be aware you are...
