not sure what you mean, what things you're referring to? i for one like it a lot, its much more useful to have access to fields i didn't before, and esp artwok. it also properly updated its format code for tags, uses checkboxes, and finally properly splits artists from titles on comps, meaning in their own boxes, etc... i have asked him to consider allowing users to toggle on comp=1 tags, but thats really all thats missing for me. well, that and maybe post rip soundcheck tagging, for the benefit of apple users. (i don't think soundcheck has album tags, so it would make sense to add it directly post rip) Philip Meyer;652060 Wrote: > > >the AA field and composer field are part of the normal GUI, and the > >user can fill them in pre-rip. > > > I rip to FLAC, and that means an external compression program needs to > be referenced, passing parameters into the command line: > > FLAC.exe > -8 -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" > -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" > %hascover%--picture="%coverfile%"%hascover% %source% -o %dest% ok, right, i understand now. i haven't tested it, but i would be mildly surprised if a new virgin install of EAC w/flac wouldn't have the parameters already set up for AA and composer, if only to keep it consistent with his new gui. if not, i bet he adds this to be the default in the next version.

Can't remember. i have four options with mine, one is free 3rd party, (music brainz i think?) one is the trial deal, and 2 are freedb types. i have also read that you can hack in gracenote and other stuff, but i haven't bothered. the two non-freedb ones will do ALL tags. but the point is that you really don't need to do any special config to get AA tags, as u can put them in yourself, or use a DB that will. as i said, FLAC may require some tinkering for the new to EAC tags, or not, i'm not sure, but not much more than setting up a DB lookup. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89708 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
