Removing 'Comment' Tag In A Single Pass

[garym]

Hi JH,

Am still waiting for your kind screenshot to be authorised.

I do not see the option for TAG ID UPDATE (though it has been d/l. Here is Advanced Settings:

On upper left portion of batch converter screen (where you are selecting the folder(s) you want), you click CONVERT. Then you'll see a popup screen and at the top on a row titled "encoder" there is a dropdown menu. in this menu, select ID TAG UPDATE.

I would advise folk to view the Online Help pages, as a lot of the required info/help/guides is already there, with screenshots.

RTFM comes to mind a lot recently

Cheers Gary,

I think I have sorted it now. It took a couple of attempts. The processing took 10 mins for around 18GB of music.

Mville,

I did try that last night but struggled to get it to work. But then Jailhouse posted a couple of pointers.

What is "RTFM", please?

Try googling it.

[monsterjazzlick]

Try googling it.

Hi, I assumed it was in relation to an aspect of dBpa (eg. an abb. term for one of its parameters). Not everyone in the world uses text-speak! Paul

Hi,

As I said, I did try - last night - looking in the online 'help?' section, but was not able to locate the specific remedy.

If this is what you mean in your earlier repsonse:

then I find it quite insulting to be sworn at! I have been nothing but polite and complimentary to every single reply I have received on here to date.

It is just a slightly amusing figure of speech and nowhere in my post was it directly intended for you. The advice was general, for all users to view the online help, as it might be easier and quicker than long-winded threads

As I always say though, you don't have to make my advice.

He wasn't swearing at you. Mville is one of the most helpful people on this forum. RTFM is a common term used by many (on the internet and before) to remind people to use the help resources that are available to their best ability.

Even my mother, who never swore, found the term amusing, when I explained it to her, about 15 years ago. It was on her computer quick start, guide!

Couldn't agree more about, Mville.

[monsterjazzlick]

OK guys, fair enough.

Paul, I looked for the Batch Convert right-click option and couldn't find it. It turns out it wasn't enabled in the dBpa configuration. To see if it's enabled on your installation, open Configure dBpoweramp and click on the Advanced Settings button near the bottom of the window. You'll see this:

Attachment 1646

Tick the box, click OK, and go back to Gary's instructions.

Hi JH,

Hi JH, Attach. still not showing?

Cool.

Hi,

I thought I had posted this question yesterday, but then I just saw the related screenshot Jpeg in My Pics and realised I had not!

I was presented with four options for ENCODING when removing the 'comments' tag from my FLAC files:

I left it as it was (in it's default state). Do you think that was OK to do so, please?

Thanks,

Paul

EDIT: In case the (above) screenshot appears as pending:

Above Normal;

Normal;

Below Normal;

Idle.

It was default set to use: 'All 4 Cores'.

default is fine. Normal, above normal, etc. is all about what else you might want to do with the PC at the same time. Doesn't really matter unless you're doing lots of other work on your PC while you're doing the dbpa work. In that case you might not want to use all 4 cores as your PC is also trying to run other programs. If doing a batch job, I wouldn't be doing other intensive things typically, so using 4 cores is good.
