I'm not sure my relationship would survive that particular little 'mountain'. Counted them last night and there are over a thousand of them. 'cdrikari', I am indeed flirting with the idea of EAC for all my classical stuff but I admit I am a bit put-off by the reports of ~10-40 mins rip time per CD. Have they been altered or not? I presume they have, otherwise there would be no point in MM to have the option to Level Volume while ripping to FLAC.? Thanks in advance for your thoughts, I've already ripped 100+ CDs with Level Volume enabled and if they have been permanently altered, I'm gonna do them again. When I display the Track Volume tag on all my ripped FLACs they report a ZERO +/- dB value. 'NoHitter', you wrote that the WAV file is created first during the rip and this is volume levelled, before conversion to FLAC. Does this then apply when checking the 'Level Volume Tag' during a CD rip to FLAC?

I have been reading some other threads and have read that Level Volume can only be applied to MP3 files. Thanks for ALL the above recommendations. A number of things to think about are discussed in this thread: Lastly, if you are just starting to rip the collection. If you want the compilations grouped by Genre without using a filter or magic nodes you could use something like Various Artists - Classical. For you compilations therefore, you should use something like Various or Various Artists in the Album Artist field. Remember that any tracks that have the same values for the Album and Album Artist fields will be grouped as an album in Monkey (and most other players/organizers). Use the non-standard or custom Monkey fields as a last resort if you can't do what you want with the standard FLAC fields. It is always best to use the standard fields for information to maximize the chances that the file can be easily be used outside of Monkey. You should also look at the Monkey Help Index > Tag - Introduction > Tag Fields for a list of the monkey fields and how they map to the tags of various audio formats. Tracks that have long intentionally low volume sections get 'pushed' too much which can cause pops/clipping on playback. I found even using volume analysis and then leveling on playback does not work well for Classical music. It sounds like you have a fairly large classical collection. A couple of other thoughts, If you want more info on volume leveling, see: I have probably asked some stupid questions, forgive me, until 6 weeks ago I had no idea what MM was and thought FLAC was some kind of Anti-Aircraft Gun.

I haven't used the Virtual CD and don't really see the point. Can you have more than the 5 Custom tags on offer.?Ĥ) Are m3u album playlist files ripped along with CD metadata or do I have create them myself?ĥ) Should I be using the Virtual CD to do all this? The few CDs I have already ripped to my external HD, I have just ripped the CD to the Drive and then Autotagged from the Web (or FreedB), downloaded the album art from Amazon or Googled it. I think I will end up using the Custom Tags for more functionality (Composer, Orchestra etc).

Track Name and that's good enough for me) but my classical music is a mix of full operas, solo instumentalists, vocal compilation CDs and orchestral works. Rock and pop is easy to tag (at least for me - I use Artist - Album -Track No. Anybody out there have any suggestions on any tagging conventions or tips and tricks that they would like to share. But soon I will begin with the classical stuff.

Some of these files will also form the basis of playlists for portable listening.ġ) When ripping to FLAC from CD, if I check the 'Level Volume' Box in the ripping dialogue window, does that mean that the newly created FLAC files themselves are irreversibly altered? I cannot see the volume that it is being normalised against (I read somewhere that 89dB is 'standard' whatever that means.)Ģ) On the same subject, if the volume is leveled, is it track leveling per album or for the whole database that is being performed.? I'm a bit confused sorry.ģ) At the moment I am busy ripping all my non-classical music.

I also have around 1000+ tracks downloaded from various sources (mainly MP3 but also some WMA and M4A / MP4 files from itunes). After that, I plan on creating playlists in MM and converting the playlists to MP3 for use on my portable devices. I'm a new MM (Gold) user and I have just started the monumental task of ripping my 1300+ CDs (around 900 of them are classical music) all to FLAC to create a backup for my CD collection.
