In continuing trying to figure out the many nuances of MJ, I have not been able to:
1) Rip a CD to .WAV
2) Convert the .WAVs to MP3, with the .MP3s having tag info from the MJ datbase for the .WAVs.
- If I rip directly to MP3, then the tags are filled in fine, but the .WAV --> .MP3 Conversion does not fill in the tags.
Now I realize that .WAVs do not have tags by nature, but It seems that you would be able to transfer the MJ info at the time of conversion.
I also understand that I can populate tags by either using MJ or T&R after the fact from the filename/directory, but I am frustrated by having to use "multiple steps" for about everything I need to do with MJ.
What I really want to do, if anyone cares, or cares to comment (thanks!) is:
With ONE step -
Rip the CD to .WAV, and store in a ARTIST\ALBUM\TRACK # - FILENAME format.
Convert the .WAVs to .MP3 with the same filename structure, in another directory.
Have the .MP3 tag info populated (artist, album, track # & title) either from the MJ database or the filename itself.
----
The only way I have been able to do this is to rip to .MP3, saving the .WAVs in the temp directory, and then manually making the directory(s) and copying the .WAVs over.
If I rip to .WAV, and then do a secondary Conversion step, I get no tag info in the resulting MP3s !!
Either way, it seems there is manual manipulation involved, and this is tedious when doing it frequently and / or with large numbers of CDs.
