Changing meta data on wav files.

thanx for this

all goes swimmingly up to

when it does not show info in the last two boxes [label and serial] they are greyed out

Attachment 212134

and therefore does not see tracks in DB

Might be my version of Wine 1.3.28

That shouldn't matter, I probably should of used a different screen. That info would only show if you set up the drive While an audio cd was in the drive. From then on it would show as you've posted if no audio cd was in the drive.

If still having issues - 1st put an audio cd in the drive, then open winecfg, Highlight the D drive by clicking on the "D"
Remove it, then set it up again as before.

shantiq -
Not sure why your difficulty - was on 12.04 but switched to 11.10 & tried again

Without doing anything dB couldn't find a drive - screen 1

Set up the /media/cdrom0 & fstab, restarted then added the drive in winecfg
Didn't actually matter if I left the D on auto-detect or specified CD-ROM in advanced, after setting clicked apply, closed winecfg, inserted an audio cd.
Then when re-opening winecfg, highlighting D & clicking on Advaced shows as in screen 2, it found the audio cd

At that point dB works fine - screen 3

( the manual meta is quite cool - though iirc after the 21 day only freedb works? screen 4
Hope you get it going - if dB used WNASPI32.DLL then this wouldn't be an issue, the prog. would access the drive directly without winecfg ala EAC, ImgBurn ect.

thank you for your help
as usual with me a basic mistake
for reasons best known to the spazz aspect of my illogical mind

i had entered

#  /dev/sr0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660  user,noauto,exec   0 0

instead of

/dev/sr0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660  user,noauto,exec   0 0

and of course nothing else could work


thank you for your patience. No doubt it will help others too

PS electric ladyland hhooohaaa does not/has not/will not get better

A little fool around with dB

Adding either the cd ripper or converter to unity panel
(can be done as 1 icon - adding one or the other as a quicklist but for the moment as separate

To add the converter - assumes ~/.local/share/applications exists - to check/create if not there

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/musicconverter.desktop

C&P this in, save, the "Name=" can be whatever you wish, if different icon then full path
The Path= line is maybe not needed,if leaving change red to your username

[Desktop Entry]
Name=dBpowerAmp Music Converter
Exec=wine "C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\MusicConverter.exe" 
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/doug/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Illustrate/dBpoweramp
Icon=8939_MusicConverter.0

Then open the folder & drag the .desktop on to unity launcher

nautilus ~/.local/share/applications

(I've tried adding a mimetype= line for DnD of files - doesn't quite work, may be able to figure out may not


To add the cd ripper

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/dbpoweramp.desktop

add this -

[Desktop Entry]
Name=dBpowerAmp Cd Ripper
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/doug/.wine" wine C:\\\\Program\\ Files\\\\Illustrate\\\\dBpoweramp\\\\CDGrab.exe %U
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/doug/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Illustrate/dBpoweramp
Icon=B941_CDGrab.0
MimeType=x-content/audio-cdda;

Same deal as above, drag on to launcher

To use the ripper as auto run on cd insertion on 11.10/12.04
Do a log out/in after above
Open System Setting > Removable media > Cd audio > other application, you should see it there, select - screen

If not there

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

In the [Default Applications] section add or edit to this line

x-content/audio-cdda=dbpoweramp.desktop

You should also add to same line in the [Added Associations] section
if line is there the append to end -
Ex

x-content/audio-cdda=vlc-cd.desktop;dbpoweramp.desktop;

Or if no line then just add

x-content/audio-cdda=dbpoweramp.desktop;
