Thanks guys! I&*8217;m going to use the largest USB SSD drive I can afford. My digital library is growing exponentially!

I&*8217;m in a Mac environment, BTW. So, I&*8217;ll look for other...

Thanks Gary. Now I just have to figure out the best way to get the 1T of music onto my external drive from the internal hard drive. Does anyone know of any software that would make that easier or...

Thanks so much, Spoon. I feel like a real dummy when I can&*8217;t find this stuff. You all are so helpful. Cool. So I can just run a check on all of my files once I get them moved. Do you think I...

Hi! How do I use batch converter to do a test conversion? I have almost 1T of flac files to check. Is batch converter the way to go? I have reviewed the menus and the help files, but can&*8217;t...

Thanks GB. I was wondering about that tag. I'll try it on my next rip and see if Audirvana reacts to it. I would probably add the "the" at the end after a comma.

Thanks. Some of my older CDs have errors.

On more question: What does the rip status indicate on track one?

Thanks Gary!

Hi Guys! Hope you all are having a great weekend. I've been happily ripping my single artists discs and things are going well. I did have a question about the tags for my various artist discs,...

Thanks. An MBID tag will show up once in a while. Not sure what that is.

I think I'm ready to start ripping in earnest. I still have a little bit of a hiccup in Audirvana with various artists...

Thanks! Are there any other things I need to check in the bottom of the box?

Thanks man1! I have a huge variety of music. Haven't started ripping the metallica or slipknot collection yet and I have to read some threads about tagging classical music. The CDs are taking up...

No. The disc number is not appended to the album title. Each subfolder is titled CD01, CD02 etc. This is my file structure:

3388

Is this the area at the top where I should be changing this:

3386

My discs on multidisciplinary sets are labeled CD01, CD02 etc.

Thanks Guys. Where can I set that in the program?

Thanks for the clarification Gary. I think I have that sorted out.

Sim - I don't see that I have a Disctotal or Disc tag available? Where is it and why do I need it? Thanks.

Thanks Sim. It's 2 in the morning and I've made a decision to use the following string.

[IFCOMP]Various Artists[][IF!COMP][tag]album artist sort[][]\[album]\CD[SETLEN]2,48,,[disc][]\[track] -...

OK. Ran into a little problem with my various artists sample. I have compilation checked and each song has the correct meta for Artist and Artist sort. At the album level meta, the album artist...

Thank you! I'm going to run my test CDs and we'll see if it is the winner! (Fanfare)

Yeah. Thats what I thought. Must be a setting in DBPA ...

Gary - Can you add album artist sort to your various artists string? I would appreciate it. I think that will do it for me.

Simbun- I used your string without the year and I noticed that their isn''t a folder.jpg in each individual file like there was in the original string. Is this dependent on the CD being ripped?

Yeah. I'm going to see about a metadata editing program for Mac. Does the C2 capability of the drive matter? Mine says that it doesn't do it.

Thanks guys. Yeah, Simbun, I&*8217;m over 50, I need names in things! Close to finalizing my string. Slightly OT, when you download a hirez flac file, does it have metadata similar to a cd?

You guys are correct. I'm confident now that I have all of the necessary tags filled. I'm just going to settle on a string and start ripping. I think I'm going to go with Gary's and change the...

Yeah. Tried it on a double disc and a compilation. Looks good, The box set string you gave me earlier, does that handle them any different than a double or triple disc?
