I have a top level "Music" folder. Then underneath I have two folders: FLAC and LOSSY. Within each of those two folders I have folder for ARTIST (or ALBUM ARTIST), then underneath that I have a...

I wouldn't worry about it. Nobody else's will match to these bad rips.

I would actually say NONE whatsoever. (unless you have some sort of very specialized DAC that only works well with upconverted files.....but this is very unlikely).

I easily transfer my music, including FLAC files if I want, to my iPhone and iPad using TuneFusion (a dbpa companion product) and running foobar2000 mobile on my iPhone and iPad. iTunes not needed at...

I've seen other people posting on not seeing the album art in their Mac file browser. Sorry, I don't use Macs and this is definitely some sort of subtle Mac issue, likely caused by some of the Mac...

Yep, that's very important for me (as that tells dbpa what folder to put that album in, and also includes the track artist name in the file name for those "compilation" CDs.

The reason I use "Compilations" vs "Various Artists". I *think* this got me on that path, but it's been a long time, so the details are blurry. I use a Squeezebox Players/LMS Server ecosystem for...

Agree!

Another vote for foobar2000 as a player on your PC. I've never heard of the player you're using, but foobar2000 is pretty popular and infinitely flexible. I use it myself for my PC player. I also...

Agree. I wouldn't want "Beatles, The" in the artist or album artist tag. But I would think the "Beatles, The" is just used in sort tag and not in artist or album artist tag, where the player display...

Yep, I understand using "Beatles, The" as a sort name and use of that sort name in creating an artist folder (so "Beatles, The" shows up under "B" folders when sorting or browsing by folder). It's...

Your choice. I'd do the opposite as default. Nothing would bother me more than seeing the artist reported in my player display as "Beatles" rather than "The Beatles" or "Doors" rather than "The...

Seems odd. I'd use "Beatles, The" for both Artist Sort and AlbumArtist Sort.

I don't use it, but I do see "CDplayer.ini" as a selected choice in my CD ripper settings for "Active Providers" of metadata. I don't have any "CDplayer.ini" file on my computer (win10) harddrive. ...

In the past on my Win10 machine, my anti-virus software removed the .exe file related to ripping when I tried to rip a CD. I can't recall exactly how I fixed, but it had to do with a setting in my...

You should probably add a post over at the wishlist forum in order to document this request in the place where the developers look in the future....

some (most) do.

Yes, in your Convert step to FLAC, use the "Delete Source File" DSP. This will delete the original file after the conversion.

And yes, FLAC is lossless...

I forgot that I also use Broadway, Soundtrack, Celtic and Cajun (because I also have lots of music in those general categories)

As an aside, I should note that I do use VLC as the video player on all my windows PCs. It works great for that purpose (which is where VLC started in any case). But as noted I do not use it for...

Regarding Genres, this is really a very personal decision. Everyone thinks about this differently, as they should, to suit their own preferences. I suppose if I was a DJ, or liked to create automatic...

I should emphasize, that even after you think you have your naming string, genre/artist/albumartist/sort tag decisions all finalized and working, etc. You still need to rip a handful of CDs (of...

Yes. That's exactly what I do. I don't use SORT tags at all. I use ARTIST and ALBUM ARTIST only.




I don't have to think about "The" in front of artist or album artist names, as all the...

Yes. Which is one of the reasons that my setup has each disc of a multidisc CD in it's own subdirectory, under the top "Album name" subdirectory. Then I can have different art for each disc if I...

No, that's not what I meant. You can't save the naming string itself in a tag, and the string is not saved in the PROFILE tag metadata. Only the name of the Profile (for me, for example, the profile...
