yes i know finding a ripper is a problem.
But how about audiograbber (http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/) from the last release on it's freeware. It can rip directly to mp3 (using lame as external encoder with stdin/stdout) and is only slightliy slower than dbpoweramp. The only problem about it is that there are no commandline options available.
But i have an idea for that too. I read somewhere that it would be possible to send window commands (LParameter, WParamter) directly from one program to another. If you could get this running it would be very easy to use audiograbber. Just configure as standalone ripper (the settings are stored in an ini file) start it and send window command for ripping. Let it rip to standard dir and then, as you do it now, rename dir and files according to freedb.

Heyt i think i have fixed the bug, i wasnt writing the duration to the database when a cd is looked up, since this information isnt available, so it was just null, and when trying to get this info back it was causing the problem, so to get around this, i just set the duration to "" (empty yes, but not null). this means, if you have access delete everything in your cdinformation table and in the CDs table. if not you have to delete the music.mdb file and replace it with the one supplied in the zip.

however i havent updated this plugin in the wiki yet, since theres one more bug i have to fix (this is being discussed in the "support" forum). theres a post with an attached dll, which has the *fix* but also has a lot of debugging stuff in it (well not that much), you could backup the old dll, replace it with the one in that post, and try it out. once you have figured out if it works or not, i suggest you replace it with the old one again (otherwise logs might get to big) and tell me how you got on. that way at least i know ive fixed this bug.

so i repeat, the bug hasnt been released yet.

ok ive uploaded version 2.0.2.1 which has the audio cd fix, and another major bug fix that i didnt notice. thankts to pcostanza for pointing out the bug and helping me find it, and thanks to Heyt for helping me track down the audio cd bug.

oh for the audio cd fix, you must either delete every entry in the "CDs" and "CDInformation" tables in the music.mdb database, only if you have "MS Access". if you dont have "MS Access" you must delete the old music.mdb file and replace it with the one supplied in the zip (only if you have tried accessing a audio cd, the bug only applies to cd entrys in the database, some fields had null values and that was stuffing it all up, if you didnt put a cd in the drive and try to access it, you'll be alright you dont need to delete the database).

sorry it took 4 days to fix the bug, given the fact that it was a major bug.

if you find any more bugs let me know, ill kick you, but let me know Tongue

oh and SmegHead i didnt get a change to put the flashing current time when the music is paused, ill do that in the next release, i just wanted to get this bug fix out there.

oh and you can download from the link in the first post.

enjoy.

hi reven, i'm a bit late for testing i think. But a very good release i've to say.
The reentering now works perfectly and the fallback if no freedb info is found is also great.
But there is still the problem that you have to use the first cd drive for lookup. OK the plugin won't crash anymore since there is the fallback but it would be a nice to have, if all drives would work if you have more then one (and not only physical drives count). My first is normally a virtual one.
And then of course the thing about enhancedCDs/CDExtra ... but i think we have talked about enough.
Once again a really nice work so far.

right now im too lazy to bother about a second drive, im assuming most people only have 1 cd drive in their pvr, why have two? in a normal pc, yeah ok i have two. i think i can do this, but working on "my videos" at the moment, on a database frenzy.

Heres a little improvement request for you Reven,

would it be possible to have some way to highlight the fact that an item in the icon display is actually a subfolder

for example I have a virtual root of q:\music\include

beneath which I have many subfolders usually one per album but if its an artist I have many albums by I have a subfolder for the artist which in turn contains subfolders for each album.

for example

q:\music\include\TV21 - Thin Red Line
....................\Japan - Tin Drum
....................\Rezzillos - Mission Accomplished
....................\Peter Hammill\A Black Box
....................\Peter Hammill\X My Heart
....................\Peter Hammill\PH7

in this case I would like to highlight the fact that the folder
Peter Hammill contains sub folders

To be fair you can already do this by not having a folder.jpg in the top level of a folder like this but it doesnt look good when all the other folders show a pretty picture

any thought ?

errr im going to go with no, just because i have no idea how this would work, i mean how would the UI display this?

my music is designed for a file structure like
music directory\Arist\Album\song.mp3

you could make a custom folder.jpg file which contains say multiple album covers like how windows displays 4 images (2x2) for picture folders.

Well I had thought that you might be able to add a border round the icon perhaps or small dot beside it just some way to show that the folder contained subfolders.

Its not important I just thought it would be a nice touch

Hi Raven,

I am also a big fan of your MyStuff. I am still curious if MyMusic reads the album art from the mp3 tags or if you need to put jpgs in the folders? If it does read from the tag how do you make it to pick it up.

Many thanks again,

if the music file isnt found in the database it will read the info from the file then add the info to the database (its much quicker to get this info from the database than it is to read the files). the tags work on wma,ogg,ape and mp3.
