I’ve used MC since MJ 7, mostly to manage my music. Ripping and encoding has always been an important feature for me. MC 10 brought some nice improvements; it would be nice if the following things were addressed in MC 11.
- Once a ripped cd is out, the central pane becomes empty taking away all the great and detailed status info. What about being able to keep track of what’s going on?
- Along with the ripping progress bar of an individual track, having an overall progress bar for the whole process.
- Individual album logs would be appreciated when ripping secure more than one album.
- Since encoding takes more time than ripping for me, I would find useful the possibility to quit MC after ripping and have it pick up the encoding where it was when I get back to MC (Exact Audio Copy style).
- I spend most of my time offline, and a batch look up of the cds I inserted while offline on Yadb would be useful.
- MC should check again cdplayer.ini when a cd previously classified as unknown by MC is inserted. I often find missing YaDB Latin/African/Asian/French music with another program on FreeDB, but MC doesn’t update its library accordingly. I could then export this info to YaDB as well so others could benefit. (thanks Sauzee for your feedback on this).
- Exportation to cdplayer.ini would also be a plus, so that other programs could use basic cd info.
Thank you for thinking about this. Keep up the good work.
