Ok, I should have stated "Correct me if I'm wrong" in my previous post, but I droped that sentence unintentional.

The checksums calculated by Accuraterip looks like CRC32 to me. My opinion was that EAC calculates the checksums and hand them to Accuraterip.
That means EAC and Accuraterip calculate checksums of tracks separatly?

AR checksums look like CRC32 because they are 32-bit, but they do not use the standard CRC32 algorithm, and yes, checksums for AR are calculated separately from EAC checksums.

Sorry for the practically verbatim repost of what I said earlier, btw.

I think it is still CRC-32, they are using for AR. But not a single hash of the entire track, rather a frame-by-frame hash list, isn't it? Well, I don't know.

greynol

Do you understand perl?

If so, have a look at the script being discussed in this thread:

Guys, you might need to disable it only for CUE, since there are many burning programs that doesn't support UTF-8 CUEs; but LOGs should be always saved in UTF-8 - it will be much to understand and translate them...

greynol

I have scripts that will no longer work if log files are in UTF-8 format.

Since when has giving someone a choice become a bad thing?

aSceT

Giving choice is not a bad thing at all, i just want that feature badly

Lund

Now, that you mention cue sheets, I think it's a good idea have UTF-8 support for them, too.

And I doubt anyone here is seriously against non-optional settings when it comes to Unicode/ANSI output.

However I think there might be a problem implementing Unicode with Modula-2 in the first place... I don't know how well it is supported, Andre might have to write his own Unicode implementation from scratch.

greynol

Speak for yourself. I'm fully against changing from ANSI to UTF-8 without making it optional (for logs and cues)!!!

If it's an option then I have no problem but would prefer that the setting be ANSI by default.

If I may ask for a tiny feature: Copy all track titles to clipboard and Replace all track titles with data from clipboard. I think a simple text with (CR|LF|CRLF)-separated lines, one track title per line, would be easy enough to implement and it would provide two significant benefits:

1) Easy editing of track titles. No matter how good EAC is, it's unlikely it will ever support search & replace, regular expressions, column blocks and other useful functions that dedicated editors have. If I could create a tracklist in my favorite editor and then simply paste it into EAC, replacing names already there, it would save me a tremendous amount of work.

2) Easy transfer of once-written titles. It has happened quite a few times that I skipped one track name and only after I wrote another 10 or 20 titles I discovered that I am one title short. In such a case I have to manually Copy track title, Paste it one line below, repeat for another N titles. Even worse, sometimes it happens that I start entering data for a wrong CD. When I find out, I have to retype the whole thing. If I could copy the names to clipboard, I'd simply save them to a file, insert the correct CD and paste the typed stuff. Again, this would save a lot of work.

That's about the only thing I am missing in EAC - everything else is already there or won't ever be added (command line interface).

Andre Wiethoff

This is already in... You can copy the current track listening to the clipboard via Ctrl+D and get them with Shift+Ctrl+V...
(Exporting looks a bit different than importing though)
So adding a line would be no problem, just set all titles again with Shift+Ctrl+V (can also be reached by menu)

cu, Andre

pepak

I never noticed that! :-o

Thanks!

Ignore this, I wasn't using the latest version, though I thought I was.

First of all, thanks for the wonderful program, now on to the suggestions:

I would like to see an option to control where the log file is written.

I have the File naming set to "%D\%C\%N-%T", so when I select my "M:\mp3" directory, the output for "One Step More And You Die" by "Mono" will be "M:\Mp3\Mono\One Step More And You Die\01-Where Am I.mp3" etc.

The log file is written to "M:\Mp3\One Step More And You Die.log". I would love to see an option for the log file output similar to the file naming, so "%D\%C\%D" in my case.

Ohh, and maybe a way to write the AccurateRip information to the log file, but I guess that may be a bit harder to do.

Lund

Oops, sorry. I guess a double (triple?)-negation slipped into that sentence. I'm fully against a non-optional solution, too.

@Lund:
No worries!

My comment regarding making ANSI the default over UTF-8 was silly; it really doesn't make any difference which is the default.

@Turambar:
I guessing you haven't tried the new version yet.
