Hiya,
obviously your working frantically on v8 and so I dont expect this to be added right now,
Just wondering what you thought of the idea.
I'd love to be able to have the data burning mode do intelligent file name burning.
Instead of just using the file name on the hard drive, I'd like an option for it to create a new name based on the id3 tag info.
So that instead of it being say: Artist - Album - Track # - Name.mp3
it would burn it as: Artist/Track # - Name.mp3

It's a slight extension of what you already have for creating folders out of artist names or album names.

What'd you think? Possible or unlikely?

can't you do that now, by editing the rules?

i just tried it

c:\music\metallica\04 - Untill It Sleeps.Wav


Dir Rule: ARTIST
File Name Rule: TRACK# - NAME


A Really Nice Song, And Playing It Loud Right Now So My Wife Can Hear It

Listening to: 'If Only You Knew' from 'I'm In Love Again' by 'Patti La Belle' on Media Jukebox

King, from the sounds of your reply it sounds like your talking about when Ripping a CD.

I mean when burning one.
My new car stereo reads mp3's and it will display the file names but right now cause of the file name rule I use all the file names are too long when I burn mp3 cd's.
I'd like to be able to use a new rule when burning the songs.

Also, is there any way to increase the buffer used when burning? I've had a few coasters with MJ (audio and data cd's) and I got plenty of RAM so I'd love to be able to set it to say fill 100mb of RAM with read ahead data just to make sure I get no coasters ever.

Nila-

Dropping the burning speed a notch would probably take care of the problem. Also, try defragging your hard drive. Or, get a new burner with the "burn-proof" feature which pretty much eliminates the coaster problem.

Might consider defragging the drive, I'll see what the frag level on it is.
It happens more when I'm multi tasking so I think it's more to do with it suddenly getting a lack of CPU priority and just not being able to handle it and so dying. Being able to set the CPU priority thread level might be a solution if this is indeed the problem.

As for a new drive,
Thanks for the suggestion but unless your paying it's ok thanks. A few things I need for my computer before a new burner and this one is the Plextor 124Tsi (SCSI) and one of the last SCSI drives Plex made and so I'm not in a rush to replace it. I like having SCSI.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
