>not sure what you mean, what things you're referring to? I find the process a lot more sluggish to edit tags within EAC - it's easier to rip and then work with tags in Mp3Tag or Foobar. I just want the basic track titles, artists, album and year in the rip, and anything else, such as adding artist sort, capitalising, adding replay gain, adding quality artwork as Cover.jpg, etc, can be done easier outside of the ripper.

I've had no joy with lyrics, and not bothered by putting them in my tags. I'm sure it's always provided track artist entry. There's now additional fields, which I would not want in my tags that I go out of my way to remove, because I think the experience is worse with them present. eg. CD disc numbers - I hold albums in my library, not a collection of discs. Columns can't be configured in the track list grid (reorder columns, hide columns, etc). eg. I want to hide the Add lyrics button (no interest in it). I'm not really sure what the difference is between CD Artist and CD Performer fields (what tags these would map to when ripping). >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. > FreeDB is fine - almost always finds the right tag content. Even free compilation CD's from magazines, etc. Don't need anything else, really. Anyway, drifted well off topic. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
