A lot of my music has accented Latin characters (acute, grave, umlauts, circumflexes, etc.). I also work across platforms, doing all of my ripping and tag editing in Windows and all of my music serving in Linux. I've tried many times, but have yet to get the codepage issues to successfully copy files with accented characters across platforms. So now I try to make sure that my file and directory names are all unaccented.
But I really like to keep the correct characters in the tags, which has no problems with file copy operations because they're just data in flac files. I rip in EAC and compress with flac, and have it set up in the standard way, using the same artist, album, and title info to write the tags and the directory and file names. Up until now I have been putting the accented characters in, and then substituting the plain Latin characters later, sometimes much later because they get lost in the shuffle after some binge ripping. Does anyone have a better way of doing this, for example, specifying one accented set of fields for the tags and one near-equivalent unaccented set of tags for the directory and filenames *at the time of ripping/compressing*? Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom on this. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51539 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
