I can't see any of your screen shots as they all say waiting approval.

Sorry,I'm asking a much more simple question. dbpa is only using the names of the ARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST fields that already exist in your files that you are converting. I'm asking you to look at...

Then perhaps the files you are converting already had ARTIST or ALBUM ARTIST set to use what would normally be the "ARTIST SORT" value (i.e., Allman
Brothers Band, The vs "The Allman Brothers...

CD Ripper screen, bottom left. On "Naming" row, click "SET" to the right side. This will take you to a popup screen that has your naming string at the top. Mine has:
...

Post your naming string here. I also suspect you use sort tag info in the naming string.

Unlikely changing max speed will help you with ripping tracks with errors. More likely to help would be cleaning the CD or trying with a different drive. Both those things work well for me. Often...

foobar2000 is a server as well as a player.

buffer is different from drive caching. I recall spoon saying 1024 cache size is a safe assumption no matter what. But maybe I have that number wrong. Someone else can chime in.

got it. Then all you need is a Mac user to give you some feedback on where these files sit.

A bit more clarification: On your backup HDD, this was a backup of your iMac, including program files, program cache files, etc. (essentially a mirror of your main drive on the iMac). Is this...

someone with a Mac will have to chime in. But I'm still confused. This is info from your prior rips. You have those rips (digital files) already, including all the artwork and tag info. The old...

Thinking more about your question, I'm not sure what you are actually asking, so you'll need to clarify. Do you mean the "cache" info that dbpa keeps from recent CD rips (for example, you rip a CD,...

hard to say, but it's an unusual problem. Do you have PerfectTunes? Can you run a check to see if the album with the problem tracks actually matches the CRCs in the AccurateRip database? If you...

Agree with Dat Ei's point. I've used every version of dbpoweramp ripper and converter for over 10 years, creating FLAC files (over 8,000 albums) and I've never seen a single case of distorted...

see this. If it was me, I'd uninstall all the versions, then start over with a new install (you don't have to purchase again, just download your install using the purchase code)...

does this problem disk rip with itunes? Maybe a problem with that particular disk.

Just keep trying with popular CDs. Sometimes one can get the drive setup for AccurateRip with a single CD. Sometimes it takes trying 15 or 20 different CDs. Just keep trying....

He shouldn't hear any difference (given that all these FLAC files are decoded back to the same lossless audio), unless something is very broken with his server/player!

correct. No reasonably modern player (last 15 years) would have any issues whatsoever.

Yes, I suspect WMA doesn't work with Mac version (and your reference confirms this). I was only pointing out that WAV files can likely be converted with the Mac version. @spoon will have to address...

Do you mean WMP Lossless files (rather than WAV). I suspect the MAC program can convert WAV files.

Yes, if you set the FLAC encoding at 5 (it can do uncompressed or level 0 to 8, with "8" the most compressed), then the file size would be smaller than uncompressed ALAC. No matter what of course,...

I'm not an ALAC user, but are you sure that ALAC has an "uncompressed" setting like FLAC. I've never seen this mentioned. But unrelated to this, you should pay attention to the fact that FLAC files...

Yep, without being ticked, it's not writing that tag. So you can ignore on the CD ripper window.

Untick the "style" item in the "CD RIPPER OPTIONS" > TAGS AND FILENAMES > METADATA and ID TAG (option button)
Then style won't be written to the tags. I agree, it is often wildly wrong!
