Hi Bill
We do rip in FLAC and metadata is contained with the file. We use
RDimport to import audio into Rivendell library. I am not handling that
part of the process here so I would recommend you try importing a single
FLAC file to see if you are happy with the process.
Hope this helps

Stan,
Tell me more... Do you rip to FLAC? What does it metadata sources does
it use? I assume you use RDImport to get the ripped files into Rivendell.
Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill
We have used the Nimbie with a combination of dbpower amp software
(pc version). I haven't spent much time with it but I know it ejects
cd's under the unit if metadata or issues with disk instead dropping
it into the finish tray.

Now that robotic CD handlers have come down out of the stratosphere

rip material for Rivendell?
I guess I see this happening on a Mac or PC outputting some metadata
tagged intermediate file format that RDimport can deal with (like
FLAC). It seems to me that Fred G. once told me that Rivendell could
deal with metadata in Chart Chunk but I don't know of a ripper that
really knows how to store stuff that way. Personally I'd be really
happy to have 44.1 Ksps/16 bit PCM Stereo files without any
intermediate conversion but that seems to be problematic from the
metadata transport perspective.
The other question about automatic ripping is, does anyone know of a
ripper that can make and exception list of the missing metadata?
Since we have to deal with SoundExchange royalty reports, having an
automated ripper rip 100 CD's with missing metadata creates a mess
that's a hassle to clean up. I want to go look in each file to see
if all the required the data is there. Better to have a .csv file
that shows what metadata was collected and what's missing for the
rip run. Then it's easier to go back and clean it up.
I was looking at this handler from Acronova. Anyone have any others
that are in the price range that has worked in a Rivendell importing
scheme they've worked out?
