I've attempted to answer your questions as best I can. Some of the questions will require a discussion before I can revert fully as we may yet have to finalise an approach.

Regarding per track accept/reject, I'll discuss it and see what can be done on that front. See my next comment below which may alleviate some of your concerns re preexisting tags. erland;563231 Wrote: > Maybe together with an option to select if it should overwrite existing > tags or just add new when a particular tag doesn't exist.This is already > built-in so long as you configure masstagging correctly. At present (even with regular tagging) you can limit retrieved tags to a specific list or exclude tags by specifying them. This way you can get all tags available from various sources except those you specify or you can get only the tags you specify. See screendump for an explanation of the implementation. erland;563231 Wrote: > Will this also be able to do the smart detection if I only select a > bottom level folder where the parent folders name specify the artist > name ? > Does it support both these directory structures (deep vs flat) ? > - <artist>/<album>/ > - <artist> - <album>/These approaches are still under discussion, but my hope > is we support both and a few other options, and that the behaviour is configurable. erland;563231 Wrote: > Will it also be able to set musicbrainz id's so I don't need to use > pickard and similar musicbrainz tools ?It doesn't currently write these tags, > but there's no reason I know of why any tag available from musicbrainz cannot be written by default. I'll look into this. erland;563231 Wrote: > What about folder trees that needs different tag format on different > files ? For example a tree with both mp3 and flac music files.Dealing with > different file formats is done transparently. puddletag knows how to handle each of the file formats it supports. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Screenshot1.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10323| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- audiomuze '*puddletag: A tag editor for Linux (that happens to run on OS X)*' (http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79733 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
