A new start into Linux and Guayadeque

Post by KPJ »

Camaron,

Your success with Audex ensures that I have something set wrong within Guayadeque. G fails to pickup the tags when I scan. I import as a wave file, is this my problem?

@KPJ,
Did you manage to import the radios into Guayadeque? I will check that one out thanks very much.

OK, I first did my trial ripping to flac. I've now tried with wav and you are right it misses some tags. I don't know if this is a problem with Wav files or Guayadeque but.....

why would you want to rip to wav? I can't see the reason. Probably you have your own reasons but if quality is one of them then why don't just rip to flac where you keep the same quality with much smaller files and fully supported tags?

I feel curious as to why you rip to wave.

Well that seems to explain it then. KPJ has been ripping to wav and the tags he sees in the ripper don't appear in Guayadeque. Problem solved I guess :)

The wav file was the default - I am not tied to the format. I will try the flac.

Anonbeat

I will send the files.

I've found the way for Guayadeque to correctly use the cover generated by Audex. (It is hidden deep in Audex settings)
Open Audex and follow this path (I'm assuming you are ripping to flac):

Settings>Configure Audex>profiles>flac>Modify>Store cover file in target folder (Settings)

Now in Cover Patter just type cover

Save the settings. That should do. Good Luck
