Oggy,
Cheers, I looked at the music discussion thread, thanks.
If the album has VARIOUS composers, then do you leave the 'dBpa' default verbatim as: "<various composers>"?

Or do you remove the: "<" and ">", please?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
Back to 'Composers' again (if you will), I have completed all of the different Composer fields for each respective track - no problem.
But, there is a field that is empty which is also called 'Composer' (directly above: 'View All tracks'). It defaults to Wayne Shorter (either because he is the first composer on the first track, or because of GD3/Discogs etc).

Now, I can DELETE Wayne Shorter and leave it empty (not sure if that would effect anything?). However, if I try to type something in (ie. the names of the three composers of this album: Shorter / Hancock / Williams), then it writes in (automatically): 'Shorter / Hancock / Williams' in each individual track field (suggesting that every track was a combined composition by all three composers!).
On page 1, the "Various Composer" text remains intact.

Muchas gracias!

Yes, you are displaying the first track, and the Composer, is Wayne Shorter.
If you filled in Shorter / Hancock / Williams, and then hit, To All, this would overwrite, your first screenshot, and the Composer for each track, becomes, Shorter / Hancock / Williams. Do you really want that, and not what you had originally?
Oggy,
OK, cheers.
You are correct about my intentions; I don't want: 'Shorter / Hancock / Williams' for every track (because it would be inaccurate).
So it's showing Wayne Shorter because he is the Composer of track-1? So, please, is it then possible to flick through the other tracks to see if Hancock and Williams appear (in that very same verbatim box for their own respective tracks)? - I am not sure how to flick through them (I did try via the player). Or would you not even worry about it?!
I will rip it and see how it comes out ...
Paul
NB. I was wondering if W.S. was showing as the Composer because the first track and title of the CD is 'Nefertiti' (ie. his own composition?).

Oggy,
Thanks.
I just checked on my Sony player and all the Composer tags read fine.
I still cant work out - sorry to wreck your head! - how/where to highlight any track on the page of the screenshot, please? I've clicked everywhere; well obviously not everywhere as the respective Composers would have changed!

Hi,
I am about to rip a Miles Davis CD called "TUTU".
The COMPILATION box has been automatically checked even though this is not a compilation album!:

Is this due to there being inaccurate information on-the-web?, and do I just simply uncheck it, please?
Many thanks.

I would uncheck the box, but it's still up to you! Your choice!

If the artist tag contains different values across the CD, CDRipper automatically ticks the Compilation box.
This behaviour is very annoying, but Illustrate insist that if the artist is not consistent (i.e. is not the same for all tracks) then it is a compilation, something I do not agree with.
I expect it is a compilation the majority of the time, and the reason why CD Ripper is programmed that way. The one exception (barring errors) I can think of offhand would be some tracks where the Artist field has "Feat. [another artist]" appended to the album artist's name.
Just another reason why one should always closely check all metadata/tags with every rip.
