Ripping insanity.

Post by surfside »

I've used MM for a long, long time.
But I haven't ripped anything for a long time.
I just upgraded to 2014.2.2xxx and all the config for ripping has changed.
The ripping main directory looks like this before I rip.

C:\Users\Craig Leidy\OneDrive\Music\"VARIOUS"\1959 - The Best of Jukebox Rock #2

I only entered up to Music, but the rip dialogue added the Subdirectories and filenames.
Trouble is... the rip lands anywhere it wants to.
I'd like to force the Album Artist to "VARIOUS" (quotes included).
And, I'd like to force the Album Name to 1959 - The Best of Jukebox Rock #2.
Can someone lead me in the right direction... thanks.

You can adjust as needed, best practice is to use the tags through Masks.

I would like to suggest not to do that as VARIOUS and VARIOUS ARTISTS without quotes is common standard for detecting Compilations (MM 2027 will also have separate Compilation TAG flag). For others like @Lowlander said is easy to adjust based on Metadata/tags.
