Tagging
« on: July 28, 2007, 10:05:43 pm »

I'm about to rip about 300 cd's and want to make sure I do this right the first time! ;)

How can I ensure that all of my rips will carry all the tag information with them?  I will be ripping to the FLAC format.  Thanks!

By default MC writes all usual library fields to the file tags if the file format supports tagging.

A general enable/disable tagging option is here: Options > General > Importing & Tagging > Update tags when file info changes.

Each library field has a separate option for file tagging. Mostly it is enabled by default. You can find the field specific options here: Options > Library & Folders > Standard Library Fields / User Library Fields > click a field name to edit the options.

However, the default tagging options should be fine if you have not changed them.

- If you define user Library Fields in Tools/Options/Library&Folders, be sure to check "Store in File Tags (when possible).

- (Define those User Library Fields before you start ripping.)

- Add the tags you want to edit to the view for your CD/DVD drive and in the Recently ripped and recently Imported views.

- In the tag window, click on the small icon at the top left of the caption.  Choose "Slow Tags in Current View".

- If you want to be sure that every rip is error-free, choose Secure Ripping in Tools/Options/CD and DVD/Advanced Ripping Options.
It is slower that the Normal mode but each block of audio data is read twice and the data compared.

i thought i'd hijack this thread rather than starting a new one, since my question concerns tagging. hope it's ok.

  is it possible to change audio tags in mc from UPPER to lower case?
