ID3 tags

Gua · 18th January 2004, 14:56

I can't get winamp to fill Id3 tags when I'm ripping my cds.
Is this correctable??

Preferences (Ctrl+P) > CD Ripping > Output File Settings > tick 'Automatically add tags with metadata to ripped files'

I have that checked ...will not work!!

james · 18th January 2004, 16:33

Hm.

Is Winamp picking up the CDDB title information from the internet OK?

Gua · 18th January 2004, 16:36

Yes!!,

james · 18th January 2004, 17:44

I assume you're ripping to MP3?

Gua · 18th January 2004, 18:12

yes!!

Is there any help out there??? Winamp will not fill in the ID3 tags when ripping

Hi.
I get the same problem: (Plus another one):

1. Using MP3 Encoder v1.2, trying to encode in VBR (192kbmin, 320max, quality high/2)

Output settings:
Auto add to media library - yes
Auto add tags with metadata - yes

(I'm getting cd info from CDDB and then ripping. It adds filenames excatly the way i want ('artist - ## title')

Why wont it add ID3 tags?

2. In playlist generation:
I have UNCHECKED all of this - i do NOT want it to generate playlists.
It still does.

Any ideas?
Cheers

mine does the same thing. But only when i rip to MP3. Anything else works just fine.

If you edit the tag after it rips it as "Unknown Artist"
does it work?

It works perfectly fine here.
Not sure, but have you possibly installed some crappy 3rd-party mp3 decoder,
like in_mp3pro or in_mad?
If so, remove it, and use the default Nullsoft in_mp3.dll only!

fosweb · 8th July 2004, 22:16

Fixed.

Which is good i suppose. But is there a better MP3Pro plugin around? (Ie. since the THOMPSON one doesnt 'agree' with winamp 5 and ripping.)

Nah. Thomson plugin messes up much more than that...

Doesn't support id3v2
Doesn't parse metadata to library
Doesn't support shoutcast streaming titles
General bugginess/crashes

Thomson/Fraunhofer messed up big time
by not giving its new proprietry format a different file extension, eg. m3p
It's entirely up to them, the mp3pro patent holders, to fix their shabby plugin.
Take all issues up with Thomson directly.

Point them to the Winamp 5 SDK

MP3Pro is on the way out anyway
(not that it ever made its way 'in' to start with)
Soon to be replaced by the far far superior aac plus / aac2
(5.1ch streams at 48k which sound as good as mp3 192k / --aps)

ps. Besides all that, lol,
afaik, there's an option in the MP3Pro plugin to not use it for standard MP3.
Try unchecking that option maybe...

This thread should now be considered closed. My problem was the Thompson Plugin. "DJ Egg" thank you for finally solving my problem. I opened this post in January it is now officially solved/closed.
