JohnnyB, what file format are you ripping to? FLAC? mp3? m4a? Possibly you said above, but on a PC? A Mac? There are some differences in tags between the different file formats.

Also, you...

Gary, I just want to make sure that the OP is clear that the file names (as set by the naming string) have nothing to do with how the tracks appear or are sorted in the majority of players. (Unless...

What is your naming string? That determines the file naming. If you are using the multi-encoder then please post the naming strings stored with each of the codecs the multi-encoder is using.

How are the files named? and stored now? Is there one folder per album which contains the music files, with the title of the track and the artist in the file names in some consistent manner. There...

Question? Are the files you are downloading actually .wav files? Most downloads that are available are mp3 or m4a, or (often at a greater cost) lossless FLAC files.

Your files are either...

Another way to think of lossless file formats like FLAC, ALAC etc. is the process of converting a .wav file to a smaller lossless file is essentially the same process when you "zip" a document file...

There are reasons why this may be necessary in professional audio and broadcasting. Basically, if you want to edit the recording, you have to do it with an uncompressed (.wav) original. At least...

One other thought, make sure the filename you are trying to change it to doesn't contain any of the various Windows "forbidden characters".

What is the file name? What are you trying to change it to? You might want to try this with your antivirus/firewall temporarily turned off. Try changing the filename when booted in "safe mode". ...

I spoke too soon. In attempting to get the Foobar sync to start I selected "remove pairing" on the phone and Tune Fusion on the PC immediately crashed.

I'm trying to get TuneFusion foobar2000 sync to work, seems to hang on "waiting for device" But the immediate issue is if I click on "Cancel Sync", TuneFusion crashes. (and on any sync, including...

Are you using Itunes, WMP or some other player that is trying to be "helpful" by "updating" your metadata without asking or telling? Also make sure to get the cursor off the item you changed before...

This question is probably for Spoon or someone familiar with the innards of the software:

Is there a "programmable action" (function) that will return the length of the string presented to it? I...

AFAIK, neither Itunes nor WMP have any error checking at all. Although, I recall that if you had a low bitrate copy of a track that Itunes would sometimes replace it for free with a higher bitrate...

There were a number of different attempts at copy protection used, most commonly in the early 2000's. Do Google searches and you can read about some of the techniques that were tried, and the names...

I'd call this digitizing or transferring, ripping typically refers to moving already digitized data to a different storage medium, most often from a CD or DVD to some form of random access media like...

I am glad that solved your issue. I couldn't think of very many things that could cause that. Good luck and let us hope that the table doesn't get corrupted again. Let us also hope that there...

What is the naming string? What is the list of substituted characters? The substituted characters list may have a space being replaced by the "9837" character which may well be an illegal character...

Electronically there is no need for an enclosure to hold an internal drive used externally. It is already enclosed in a metal/plastic enclosure probably more rugged than most external drives. I...

Hello all and Happy New Year!

I'll give you my take on this: First, if you get an AccurateRip match, you can't do any better, the probability of you getting the same error(s) as previous rippers...

According to the Wikipedia entry, all Dolby Digital decoders include the ability to decode Dolby Surround (4.0 analog encoding into two channels) to 4 (actually 5, but the two surround channels will...

Aha, probably Dolby Surround or whatever they called it. An analog encoding of 4.0 surround and decoding, used extensively by the TV networks before the coming of digital TV. I think also used on...

My method for capturing YouTube audio without any (further) degradation:

Using an audio interface that has digital (such as SPDIF, AES3 or Dante) ins and outs, and an audio editor (Audacity is...

Possibly you tried this already, did you try using the converter to convert MP3 to MP3. You'll get an error message if the source file was corrupt and you'll have to convert the output again to get...

Using the converter (single file, using right click contextual) converting mp3 to mp3, to recover some corrupt files, an issue:

If the source file corruption is in the middle of the file, the dBpa...
