Hi Agillis - I'm glad to see that you are continuing to improve VortexBox. It's nice to have a simple solution to suggest to new users in the forum. Something like VortexBox has been needed for some time. I'd like to comment on the suggestion about allowing the user to edit the tags prior to ripping. I'm not so sure that it easy to deal with after ripping. When I rip discs, I invariably end up tweaking something about the tag info prior to ripping. This is especially true when dealing with meta data that comes from freedb.org. The genre is commonly what is wrong or left out. It's easier for the user to deal with at rip time. Dealing with it post rip is an issue when you are doing a large number of rips. You would have to remember somehow which albums you ripped and go back and clean up. It also would mean a clear/rescan of SqueezeboxServer if the files ended up in the database before you did your cleanup operation. If the "rip to FLAC and mp3" feature is being used of VortexBox, the user has to remember to go back and retag both versions of the file. Eeek. Retagging FLACS post rip is a fast operation, but retagging mp3 isn't because it has to rewrite the entire file. IMO, it would be a big step forward for VortexBox to allow the user to preview/tweak the tag information prior to performing the rip. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
