Don't forget - everyone has an agenda too. We've been accused of being FLAC fanboys here. :-) I like the idea of Wavpack, one file format for both lossless and lossy, but as it's transcoded in the server for the Squeezebox and because player support for the lossy version is so rare, it's not used much around here. > Here is another questions about tagging.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but you can have EAC create such a directory structure for you, see http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/EACInstall and you can also get Mp3tag to do this after ripping, see http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Mp3tagGuide If you're asking whether you can search by artist, of course you can. I understand tagging isn't so easy for classical though, you have tags such as ARTIST, ALBUMARTIST, COMPOSER, BAND etc. The threads regarding classical tagging go on for pages and pages and I don't think anyone agrees as to what's the proper way to do it. Tags were developed for pop/rock, not classical, and trying to shoehorn classical into the structure is hard. Here's a recent thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60215 Note - you can download SqueezeCenter at any time, and you should so that you can see how it handles the tags you've created. Better get things working fine for you now than rip a hundred CDs and discover your tags don't work for what you want to do. > According to EAC, the caching ability of DVD burners is a pity for good > ripping. Thus a DVD reader should be better... That was the logic > behind my words... I'm pretty sure what is meant is that you have to make sure you're bypassing the drive's read cache. It does no good to re-read data if you're re-reading from a cache, it'll always match. All drives have read caches these days. There's an option to bypass the cache in EAC. At any rate, since you got an AccurateRip confirmation, your drive CAN rip bit-perfect. As I indicated, other drives may be faster or may do better with damaged media, but at least your drive is capable of accurate ripping. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60890 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
