Thanks All

That was what I wanted to do.

I've learned how to build an action in MP3Tag, and just now finished applying it
to over 18,000 files, successfully changing almost 11,000 track number tags. If
anyone is interested, the MP3Tag forums identified the process as: Format Value
/ TRACK / $num(%track%,2).

I appreciate everyone's help.

If that's what he wants, he can do it with mp3tag using a text file.

Foobar2000 can also do it.

I think Bill meant that he wanted to batch process all mp3 files so that he
didn't have to manually edit each title.

Not sure what "bulk tag" means but if you want the track #s with a
leading zero in mp3tag:

- select the tracks
- left lick the icon with"1 2"
- the track number assistant window opens
- checkmark the 2nd box there which likely is titled "leading zeros for
   track numbers" in the English version

This was a version problem. I have loaded V0.99 prebeta 5, and now my rips do
indeed include a leading "0" for tracks 1-9 after converting to flac. This
version does have an option under EAC>Compression>ID3 Tag that speaks to this
setting, although I don't believe I'm writing ID3 tags when compressing to flac
(am I?). This wasn't an option in the very old version of EAC I had been using.

Now all I need is to find a way to bulk tag track numbers with leading zeros
using MP3Tag!

Thanks for the tip, Lin.

Hi John

Tried both of your ideas. Seems inserting a "0" before the "n" results in all
track number tags = n, and inserting "02" results in track number tags of 2n.

I'm going to try a newer version of EAC and see what happens.

Thanks for the replies.

Hi Lin

Maybe a version issue? I'm still on 0.95 prebeta 4, from Nov 2003. Not sure why
I never upgraded, other than this works (worked?) fine for my needs. While I'm
at it, it seems I'm using Flac 1.2.1, and have Flac Front End 1.7.1 available in
the FLAC directory.

I'll try downloading a newer version of EAC and see what happens. Thanks for the
reply.

Or possibly "%02n", the zero to say pad with zeroes, the 2 to say make
the result 2 digits long.

If EAC supports padding with leading zeroes at all - I'm not at a
machine I can test this on right now - then the format would be
"tracknumber=%0n" i.e. with the zero between the % and the n.

Cheers,

John.

I don't know why yours is doing that, because I use almost the same
command line, and my track number tags come out like I would expect:

-6 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T
"tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

I'm using EAC version 0.99 prebeta 3, from July 2007.

Not sure if this is an EAc question, or compression settings question. I'm in
the process of ripping a large number concert recordings to flac, and want the
track numbering to have a leading zero (01,02,03,etc) for sorting purposes. That
is how the tracks are numbered in my EAC window, but not in the resulting flac
files. Here are the settings I use for external compression:

-8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n"
-T "genre=%m"  %s

Changing to "tracknumber=0%n" gives me (01,02,03), but also (011,012,013). Am I
missing something simple? Or do I have to continue retagging the track numbers
after compression?

If EAC is configured to use an external mp3 encoder, and the encoder either
doesn't exist, or the file path to the encoder is incorrect, I might expect that
symptom.

Examine the Compression Options dialog box (press F11), External Compression
Tab.  Is the checkbox set for "Use external program for compression"? If so, is
the pathname valid, to a valid compression program?  Are the command-line
options set correctly?  If not, maybe the compression program is confused.

I use "Lame" for mp3 file encoding (aka compression). If you already have Lame,
you can simply choose the "Lame" option in the "parameter passing scheme"
drop-down box, and provide the path to lame.exe.

I use customized settings on the External Compression tab:

   parameter passing scheme: user defined encoder
   use file extension: .mp3
   program, including path, used for compression
     C:\Program Files\LAME\LAME.EXE
   additional command-line options:
     %l-V 5%l%h-V 2%h --vbr-new %s %d
   bit rate: 192 kBits/s

There are many other external compression programs; lame is just one. If you
want it, go here:
   http://lame.sourceforge.net/index.php

You'll find all the details in "WhatsNew.txt" packaged within the EAC
distribution file (eac095pb5.zip).

I won't bloat this reply (more than it already is) since that text is readily
available.

I use EAC with W2k SP4, so I can't vouch for XP, although I doubt there would be
any conflict (you'd be seeing many posts here if there was a problem!).  Perhaps
someone else in the forum has ideas.

Regards,

     -- Marty

Hi,

1) be sure you have downloaded lame.exe and told EAC where it is
(EAC->Compression settings).

Im still reading info on the radified.com site, looks like the pre-beta 4 of EAC
to rip and the LAME pgm to burn is going to be the way to go.  The challange is
getting EAC configured correctly, but it's only a one time set up.  I would
reccommend using a very clean PC to do this with, if you are going to do a bunch
of discs and/or planning to use it for making archives, it might be worth the
cost of a new Intel based dedicated computer, thats not normaly used for other
things, like browsing the internet because you can bug up your rip and burn pc
and not know it.  Plextor CD drives are prefered.  Im going to consider it an
investment to justfy the cost :-\  In my case I have about 300 origional issue
CDs, not remastered crap, along with maybe 100 hours of bootlegs going back to
the 70's when FM radio was great, that Im going to give the EAC/LAME treatment
to.  Example, I have Golden Earring playing live over FM radio, it was a $1.00
show (just GE no other acts) at the peak of the Radar Love rage, they had played
5 nights opening for the WHO in Madison Sq. Garden and then flew into Kansas
City requesting to play in our Cowtown Ballroom in mid summer, with no A/C. They
were great.  Then there was the Rory Gallgher show (only act again), almost 3
hours long he slayed the crowd, live on FM radio onto my Akai reel to reel,
while I drove around listening to it on the radio, I still have the origional
tape.  bla bla bla..........................

When I click one of the buttons at the left of the window to make WAV, MP3 or
IMG files, I get a Save Wavefrom dialog box which becomes immediately very pale
of color. When clicking on the window, I get a little pop-up window with the
following content:

[Window Title]
EAC.exe

[Main Instruction]
EAC.exe has stopped working

[Content]
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the
program and notify you if a solution is available.

[Close program]


I'm using EAC V0.99 prebeta 5 from 4 May 2009; Windows 7 Pro UK 64-bit.

Dialog boxes when pressing eg F8, F9, F10, F11 and F12 work fine.
But when pressing Ctrl+E, I get the following message (and the programs stops):

---------------------------
EAC.exe - Application Error
---------------------------
The instruction at 0x0b2ffb6f referenced memory at 0x0000002f. The memory could
not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the program
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


When pressing Ctrl+W I get the following similar box:

---------------------------
EAC.exe - Application Error
---------------------------
The instruction at 0x0b72fb72 referenced memory at 0x00000002. The memory could
not be written.

Click on OK to terminate the program
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I hope this info helps. If there is a way to let EAC dump some debug or
diagnostic info then I'm willing to do that.

Kind regards,
Paul.

Looks like a memory conflict. Do you run other applications in the
background while you're working with EAC? If so, try it w/o these apps.
I never switched to Vista but guess it has a secure mode too?
Try EAC running in this mode and see what happens.

I made a similar experience with previous releases of EAC under XP Pro but not
  "whenever". Only when I switched from one track to another too fast.
  Giving the programm 2-3 seconds time avoids freezing here.
