Great Program, BUT !!! The Most Awful Rubbish Tag Database!!

[johnny]

Hello

Well done for creating a fantastic CD Ripping Program, Works very well

I have used many Rippers over the years, EAC, DB PowerAmp  etc

But I really liked EASY AUDIO COPY so I purchased It

When using the other Rippers, there are options for various Tagging Databases, all of the database vary in quality, some being much better than others


BUT with EASY AUDIO COPY, for some crazy reason, they have chosen the very very worst database on the planet.


Every commercial CD  I Rip, I am having to edit the tag info

Most of the time the ARTISTS say Various Artists for every Track ?

There are constant errors in most of the data

Some CDs are not even in the database.


Never Had This Issue in when I purchased DB PowerAmp




So My Question is why have the designers of Easy Audio Copy chosen such a rubbish database to extract tagging data ??


5 Stars for a great program
1 Star for Tagging Database




Why not ditch this rubbish database and use some of the others out there with much better content


Regards

This is what I am talking about

The tag database is awful

I ripped my frankie valli and the 4 seasons set


For the artist it should have said frankie valli

but no... this awfull tag database puts the artist for every track as Various Artists why

its not Various Artists ..... Its frankie valli and the four seasons ....


so I now have to edit all the artist and delete Various Artists and Replace with Frankie Valli



What is wrong with this default tagging database, It's full of errors

and if I see another ripped CD with Artist saying ..... Various Artists.... I will Scream !!!


They are not various Artists .....

Hello,

sorry that you don't like the tag results.
There is not a single database used (as also in dbPoweramp) but a variety of metadata sources.
Basically Easy Audio Copy uses the same providers as dBPowerAmp, but perhaps the auto-calculation which value to take is too restrictive.

Anyway, there is an easy way in the application to directly change eg. the artists (see the pen button).
So it isn't necessary to use a different tagging application afterwards to correct the tags.

If you like, you can send me some log files for CDs which didn't work out that good and I will have a look.
Please contact me via the official email address for more details.

Best regards,
Andre
