That's exactly the way I was doing it before. I primarily listen through my portable music player (although this may change in the future), and it doesn't recognise each individual artist when...
I'm really glad I asked about these settings, as I almost didn't. After saying I couldn't ever see myself using the [Custom] field, something came to mind that might actually make things simpler for...
I imagine you must also be able to change the name of the field from [Custom] to whatever you want it to be, and possibly create multiple custom fields, e.g., [Copyright], [Organization],...
While we're on the subject, how does the [Custom] field work? It looks like something I'll never need to use and may as well be left unchecked.
Thanks for the advice, I didn't even know that was possible! As the tags will stay the same for the vast majority of my CDs, I'll probably just stick to unchecking the unwanted tags in settings and...
I know this really comes down to personal preference, but how do people prefer to deal with the unnecessary (unwanted) metadata that often appears when ripping? What I mean is, do you permanently...
Thank you, Spoon.:)
Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd ask this question here. Is there a way to reset the metadata fields to default, or does anyone know what the default settings are?
I've been playing...
Thanks, garym. It all makes much more sense now!
Thanks, mville. I don’t think it does, but interesting to know anyway!
So there isn’t really anything special about the data on an HDCD disc, the HDCD coding just allows the data to be upsampled from 16 bit to 20/24 bit (which isn’t possible with standard CDs). Is this...
USB Audio Player PRO, which displays the 20 bit HDCD albums as being Hi-Res.
Thank you, garym. I'm not sure I fully understand why the HDCD rip would not be bit perfect, but it doesn't matter....
Hello Garym. So far I have only enabled the HDCD DSP when I've been ripping discs which I know are HDCD encoded. That is, I deselect the HDCD DSP function when I'm ripping regular CDs, which make up...
That's exactly what I do! My Christmas CDs contain a huge variety of genres; Religious, Rock, New Age, Easy-Listening, etc., but it all gets lumped together under Christmas to be shuffled played...
Well, I tried but it didn't work. Like you say, my software either lumped all the words together so I got something like "Rock Punk Anarcho-Punk" as one genre, or it just displayed the first word;...
I’m going to try this and see if any of my software has the ability to read multiple genre tags. If it works it could be a great solution, with the first tag as the main genre followed by a couple of...
I only thought about including styles as a way to make choosing a genre easier. For example, is an album Heavy Metal or Thrash Metal? In this case I can just choose the genre as rock and put both...
I would like to keep genres as simple as possible. At the moment my list looks something like this:
Blues
Christmas
Classical
Country
Electronic
Folk
Jazz
I've been thinking about doing the same thing! Like you say, on a soundtrack where all the tracks are by the same artist, I would probably save that under the artist's name and not OST. As for...
I would be completely lost if not for the help of garym and the other forum members. I've been back and forth with questions for over a month now, and have only just got things set up the way I want...
That's great advice, thank you. I also like to add as little as possible, but I think having [MFSL] or [DCC] in the album title actually looks quite good! I hadn't even thought about the MFSL covers...
Do you have OST as the album artist for all soundtracks? That actually makes a lot of sense, especially if the soundtrack is a compilation.
Actually, Oggy, you've reminded me of something else...
Just as I thought, my assumption was wrong and the answer was simple! As always, thank you for taking the time to explain. That little number 1 in the Compilations field really is far more important...
The way things work is all starting to make sense at last, and I now understand more of the settings in my software as well as what I've learnt about naming strings and tagging. I feel like I've been...
This is something I meant to ask about. When the individual discs each have their own folder under the Album parent folder, they are simply labelled “Disc 1”, “Disc 2”, “Disc 3”, etc. The album name...
Thanks, garym. So exactly the same as what I’m doing, except I have a "Various Artists" folder instead of "Compilations". My "Lossless" folder only contains FLAC files, so I might change the name to...
