agillis;496811 Wrote: We now have FLAC mirror instead of rip to mp3. It speeds up the ripping process only having to rip to FALC. When your done you run FLAC mirror and it will make mp3s out of any FLACs you don't have mp3s of. It will also update any tags you have changed!! You never need to edit your mp3 files just your FLACs. If you use tagrename you can change the genre on a lot of files at once. OK, that makes sense. agillis;496811 Wrote: I'll look into it but this is a very complex feature to add. I would have to basically rewrite tagrename in a web GUI. Is it that complicated? Does the ripper call the FLAC command line encoder? If so, you can specify the tag info on the command line. You would have to have some logic to say use tag info read from CD info service or use tag info specified in web form. If your ripper is a script, there may be command line tools you could use. If you are a Perl script, there is a library on CPAN to manipulate Vorbis tags in FLAC files. agillis;496811 Wrote: I personally ripping without a GUI. When I'm done ripping I open my VortexBox share in Windows. Sort by date so I see the albums I just ripped at the top. Then I use tag and rename's beautiful and very functional interface to fix any tags. This certainly works and reflects what I used to do before I began ripping directly to FLAC. It's not that this is *hard* to do or that it can't be done, but this means that the user needs to have a separate machine running Windows to manage the tag information. As I see it, Vortex Box strives to be a standalone solution (which I think is a great goal!). Not having the ability to manipulate tag information prevents it from being truely standalone. agillis;496811 Wrote: I's also like to point our we are using MusicBranz now so the tags should be better quality.

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.

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.

Those of us who have spent time finding the correct album covers would hate to see them wiped out with a single button click. Overall, I really like VortexBox. This will not overwrite existing cover art. It will only add art to albums that don't have it already. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72695 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] VortexBox 1.0 what else does it need?

I had use Album Art Downloader to get cover art. It creates a file called Folder.jpg. The Vortexbox album art downloader didn't recognize that file name as cover art and downloaded new files called folder.jpg and cover.jpg which squeezecenter used. Sorry for the confusion. -- induna induna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72695 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
