The first problem I encountered was the realisation that I knew less than nothing about the subject.

(There is another bit of software called Exact Audio Copy, which does the same kind of thing and is free, but personally I find it more difficult to get to grips with than dBpoweramp).So, a few days ago I decided that my life was too simple, devoid of massive headaches, and to remedy that I was going to start collecting and tagging classical music. The software also takes care of converting the ripped. I also acquired the dBpoweramp software (for about £30/ 40€ / $40) which has proved a godsend in making the whole naming/tagging process almost painless and even more importantly alerting if there have been errors when ripping - I've ripped over 1000 CDs so far and had about 6 or 7 which needed to be reripped, so all told, not too bad a percentage, but could be a problem if you dispose of the CD after ripping without listening to the rip. This makes the whole process much faster and saves wearing out the B2 drive for those future occasions when I might need it. I started off ripping my CDs directly via the B2 CD drive, but having read Brennan's own recommendations and other voices on the forum I then decided to rip them on to a USB memory stick via my laptop and an external CD drive.

Which is a long winded way of agreeing with Daniel that it is often better to collect and collate your files on a Mac or PC before transferring to the B2. The retrieving of files is entirely dependent upon the tagging that has been applied, so, the more sophisticated you want the retrieval to be, the more information has to be available to the machine. The Brennan is relatively inexpensive for something so sophisticated, especially in comparison to other hi-fi products, but it is in essence a low powered computer attached to a storage device that can retrieve and play files at your command. Most of the answers you are looking for can be achieved, but only with input from yourself in ensuring that the tagging needed for your purpose is accurately applied to the music that you wish to store. How a machine created the tagging on one machine will not always fit in with another machines software. To pick up and expand on Daniels point, accurate tagging is possibly the most important aspect of curating music collections for digital playback. Music might find these points to be important, so it would be well worthĬovering them in a paragraph or two on the website. Long tract, but I think that many people who have collections of classical User Interface can be used equally readily on a Chromebook? Of the works in rotation after each download? This would give more flexibility Into three separate albums by downloading it three times and then deleting two If it’s the former, is it possible to “convert” a CD containing say three works The 64 character limit apply to the album, or to each individual track on the album? Rather than 5, 6 and 7 as they were on the original CD. Only keeping the second work, I’d prefer its tracks to be labelled 1, 2 and 3,

Whichever it is, if in my hypothetical example I’m Whether the track numbers are downloaded from the external database, or entered The number of the track playing at that moment. Right through without needing any intervention at the end of each of its tracks. Playing the CD on my CD player, if I want to listen to just one of the works it’sĪ simple matter to program the player so that it plays tracks 1-4 if I want theįirst work, or 5-7 if I want the second work, and in each case the work plays Tracks 1 to 4, while a second, three-movement work would occupy tracks 5 to 7.
