Hi daleyb, I've been gone awhile....good to be back and see you're still around. :) ALBUM ARTIST is a very important tag because most players use it for organization and navigation of your music...
Oh, I believe it. I've been using a variety of Sonos devices for many years, and the only one that I ever tried and returned was the PlayBar (which happens to be their most expensive player). I'm...
I agree. I have quite a few concert DVDs & Blu-rays, and because they often have bonus content not available on their corresponding CD releases, I've tried various approaches to extracting that...
Hi MES2. As you're working through your issues here, I think it's worth stepping back and clarifying a couple basic concepts/points:
(1) Every player must read or index a music library before...
There are many free conversion utilities available. Obviously, they don't offer the same feature set as dBp, but if you have one simple task, any utility that covers that task should be effective....
Haha....we've all been there. ;)
+1 Never a good idea. mp3 is the most widely-supported format out there, so it's hard to imagine you'll ever run into a playback device that can't play it. The Heos players are no exception. I...
Just weighing back in here....I'm glad to see, and not the least bit surprised, that those who have commented unanimously agree that the current setup isn't "optimal." ;)
Since it's several...
It's worth pointing out, zee, that if you're starting with lossy files (mp3s, as implied by your thread title), it's unwise to perform any kind of audio conversion on them. Lossy to lossy, presuming...
Your logic may seem valid, but it's actually flawed. Ripping with iTunes is not a definitive test of whether a CD is OK or not.
I have two:
(1) Since you are satisfied with iTunes' rip results...
dBpoweramp is a program primarily used for creating digital audio files from CDs. As you probably saw when you were setting up and ripping those CDs, it can create/convert audio files in a wide...
Very kind words, Alastair, and as garym says, you're very welcome. I certainly hope there aren't people who feel ridiculed in this forum, but I do know exactly what you mean. I've participated in a...
Hi Alastair....no worries on the language thing. Your English is obviously excellent and you made yourself clear enough. :)
Read through garym's suggestions about dynamic naming. But note...
I suspect your first question answers the second: If you are ripping to a different location, dBp doesn't know that you already ripped the CD. So of course there's no warning.
As to the location...
I realize you resolved the issue you started with, but just a quick comment: It's never a good idea to convert from one lossy codec to another. Unless you absolutely can't use the files as...
Hey, glad to hear it, Alan! Not only did you resolve this issue with your reinstall, but you're bound to have a more stable system going forward. Happy it all worked out.
Try installing a completely different program (not related to dBp). Anything that uses the MS installer..... If you get the same issue with any installation attempt, I would seriously consider...
Sorry if it seems I'm harping on your installation status, but to me, this smells like a bigger Windows system issue, not anything specific to dBp. If you'll indulge me....you're saying that you...
All of that looks related to Windows internal telemetry....perhaps there was an improper shutdown while it was "phoning home" or trying to collect data or something. Hard to know. Also not sure how...
Still curious....is this your own clean Windows 7 install or was it pre-installed on the new laptop?
Did you do a clean Windows 7 install? If so, maybe it's a little "too" clean, i.e., you may still have some updates and key components to install. Run Windows Update 2-3 times (with restarts) to...
Since you're just getting started, now's a great time to reconsider using WAV for your new music library. It offers no benefit over other lossless codecs, but does have some distinct disadvantages. ...
+1
I can confirm that this is the way it's always worked for me. Copy'n'Paste....not Drag'n'Drop.
For me, these two different objectives and operations are best done with different programs. A disc backup (for the purpose of re-creating the original audio CD) is something I do separately from...
