Hi Donal Have you ever used the Windows extractors? I think some of the variables are common to those apps. However, a comprehensive listing could be valuable. Perhaps we should produce an article based on this for our blog. On 14 Sep 2012, at 11:04, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Hi Gordon I'v

Hi Donal Yes, I believe you can use the "/", but I haven't personally tried it. You could use, for instance: "%A - %a/%N %T" As I understand it, that would produce a filename structure like: Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water/01 Bridge Over Troubled Water.m4a" Gordon On 14 Sep 201

Hi Gordon I've been doing some of that, but just said I'd throw a mail out there to see if a list existed. If I get the chance over the weekend I'll use the CLI version with a script to see if I can devise a comprehensive list. Once I have it will post back here. Dónal On 14 Sep 2012, at 11:0

Hi Donal and Esther OK, if I remember correctly, there is a distinction between upper and lower case letters here. For instance, "%a" = Album, whilst "%A" = Artist. I can't remember all of the variables but if you experiment I'm sure you'll find the ones you need. On 13 Sep 2012, at 23:13, E

Hi Gordon, Have you figured out the range of options which are available for naming tracks? Also, I presume that one could use the "/" separator to generate a folder structure? Thanks. Dónal On 14 Sep 2012, at 10:49, Gordon Smith wrote: > Hi Donal > > What would you like to know? There's

Hi Donal What would you like to know? There's no documentation that I know of because it's a free application which we couldn't do without actually. But I find that there's no need for documentation. Gordon On 13 Sep 2012, at 22:41, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Hi all, After months of procr

Hi Dónal, I did think you had probably checked the web page, but just consider this in the long tradition of terse unix documentation man pages. (Sorry, I wish there were a more descriptive source for how best to use this. Sometimes I find such descriptions in reviews, so I may hunt around fo

Hi Esther, *smile* I'd looked at the webpage. I guess I was looking for something a bit more comprehensive. For example, and this is purely illustrative, there's a portion in the "preferences" dialog where one can specify the name of the decoded (output) track. There are "%n" etc. used. No

Hi Dónal, There's always the web page for XLD (English version): http://tmkk.pv.land.to/xld/index_e.html You can check the section under the heading "How to use". It's also discussed (briefly) in a number of MacWorld articles such as the May 2011 article by Kirk McElhearn, "How to convert audio

Hi all, After months of procrastination I'm finally getting around to playing more with XLD cd ripper. It looks excellent. However documentation is pretty sparse. Actually: that isn't true, it seems to be non-existent. Does anyone have a user manual for this thing? Dónal Dónal Fitzpatrick
