Hi Brad,
using CDex 1.70 beta 4, here are some notes on the most important settings,
including setting where the ripped tracks are saved.
To open the CDex configuration dialog, on the Options menu choose settings (F4).
The dialog contains a page tree, and the controls for the page which is
selected in the page tree. After you've selected the page you want in the page
tree, you can then tab to the controls for the settings for that page.
These are the pages which contains some of the important settings:
1. The directories and files page, which is in the general group in the tree.
There's an Ouput filename format and directories Recorded Tracks read-only edit
box. This contains the root folder where your ripped tracks will be saved. If
you need to change this, press Enter, and a Browse for folder dialog opens,
allowing you to choose a different folder.
2. The Encoders page, which is in the Encoding group in the tree. There's an
Encoder combo box, and if you want to rip to MP3, this should be set to use the
LAME MP3 Encoder. Unfortunately, Jaws reads this as another Thread priority
combo box. There is a real thread priority combo box which by default is set to
normal, and the following control is the Encoder combo box, which Jaws misreads
as another thread priority combo box.
3. The remote freedb page, which is in the CD Database group in the tree.
There's a your E-mail address edit box, which must contain an email address.
Following this, there are three check boxes. The use proxy and Authentication
check boxes should not be checked, but it's convenient to check the Auto
connect to remote freedb check box. When this last check box is checked, then
CDex automatically gets the cd info when you put a CD in the drive.
David.
original message:
I am runnin the most recent version of cdex and I am helping a friend to use
the same program as I. When I was introduced, a friend showed me how to
make sure that any cd I extracted, went directly into a music folder where I
could then move it to any location I wanted. Because he was so quick at the
computer, I am not able to take what he did and help my friend to do the
same thing. We have had difficulties locating the first cd she extracted.
Would anyone know where I can find what she extracted and furthermore, would
anyone know how to set it up where when she extracted a cd, that it would
extract to a folder she wanted it to go.
