I use Foobar, but not usually with Asset, although I have on occasion.

Foobar has a bit of a setup learning/configuration curve, but other than that issue, works well.

I've run into an issue...

Semicolons to separate in dBpa, but if you edit your tags using mp3tag, it uses the double backslash. Different codecs use different ways of dealing with multiple value entries (if they deal with it...

If your database and codec support multiple genres well, consider tagging with both Rock and Punk (or whatever. That way if you want rock, including the punk, filter for rock. If you want only punk...

Well, I cut down on the number of genres I use, but more recently have been using multiple genres in some cases. They work well in FLAC. Three cases, African music, tagged now as African, but also...

Gary and Atulgarg:

I'm suspicious the issue isn't reading the CDs but is obtaining the tag data, due to the discontinuance, changes in the old tag metadata sources. Typically, he may see the...

I'm ripping from typically five or sometimes six instances of dBpa, five drives, all "internal" drives, three actually connected to SATA ports in the PC, three using external SATA to USB converters...

"Most likely a dumb question but I'm still trying to learn, I have Replay Gain (Track Gain) set in DB Ripper, with Asset installed in my Qnap 251+ I notice in the Asset options there are 2 boxes with...

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...
