Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
It's not just AMG its also GD3 which has just improved their classical tagging. It's nice that dbpoweramp uses 4 metadata services(AMG, GD3, Music Branz and FreeDB.org) to come up with the most accurate tags out there. The other nice thing is that the service is only $5 a year. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60818 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

dBpoweramp does such a good job when ripping (I signed up for the AMG subscription,) that I usually don't have to do anything afterwards. Sometimes, particularly with classical music, I have to do a touch up, and I use EasyTag for that. dBpoweramp runs fine on my Ubuntu machine with wine installed. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60818 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
I used EAC, foobar and mp3tag for quite some time, and was reasonably happy with them (particularly for the price - free!). I finally got tired of the work involved in using multiple products to rip and tag my music, so decided to pay for the full version of dbpoweramp. I have been extremely satisfied with that decision. VERY easy to use, highly accurate, and is as flexible as I need it to be. I still use mp3tag quite a bit for minor clean-up work, primarily to change tags on greatest hits compilations, but I haven't used EAC since I bought dbpoweramp, and foobar doesn't get opened a lot anymore, either. -- GeeJay GeeJay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60818 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
I agree on dbPoweramp -- excellent tagging during the rip (including excellent cover-art-finding), and good solid accurate rip -- and very fast, with dual cores being utilized effectively in the paid-for version. And you can rip to two different folders/files/formats at once, e.g. lossless for use on SC, lossy for use on a portable device. And then there is the awesome batch-convert function. Worth every penny.

For doing all of the above and album art try dbpoweramp if you don't mind paying for it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
For my FLAC collection, I'm using MusicBrainz Picard tagger for the dirty work and mp3tag for fine-tuning. Picard does a good job most of the times and automatically includes tags like album artist, artistsort, albumartistsort etc. Mp3tag is a great program for the rest, like correcting small errors, including album art etc. -- Jassel Jassel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19047 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60818 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
I use Foobar2000 most of the time to play files and tag them. It allows me to scan an add replaygain information, fill tags automatically according to filenames, use FreeDB to get tags, move and rename files according to tags, and most of the stuff you'll need to manage your library. When it gets more complicated (if I want to add/remove artwork or copy some info from one tag to another for example) I use MP3Tag. But I guess by now there must be plenty of programs that handle the tags just fine, so it's up to you to decide which one you prefer ^^ -- BlueScreenJunky BlueScreenJunky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60818 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
My favourite is Tag&Rename as it has a nice itnerface and can pull artwork and tag detail from Amazon (UK, US, Canada, France, Germany and Japan). However, if you errant tags that it doesn't know about, there isn't a way to display and sort them. I use mp3tag for that. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60818 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] best tagging software?
Like Fedder says: there's a lot out there. The only thing we can do is give our own experiences. I first used Easytag, now I use MP3Tag. Contrary to what the name suggests, this program works great with FLAC=files too. I find it very versatile: it can do all I want. And it has some very handy macro facilities. Search the forum for mp3tag and you will find a lot.
