[mythtv-users] some questions about mythmusic usage

[Vincent McIntyre]

Hi

I have a CD I am trying to rip which seems to have an
identifier code that is the same as another freedb entry.
(I'm not actually sure which database it is using,
 the docs refer to freedb so I am assuming that).

Before commencing the rip (to flac, ie 'perfect' mode)
I was able to edit the artist, album name, genre, year.
I was unable to edit any of the track titles.

Questions:
1. Should I be able to edit the track titles before ripping?
   If so, could someone help me figure out how to do that?
   If not, why not?

2. Can I change the song names post-rip?
   https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythMusic seems to suggest yes,
   but I am still digesting all that text.

3. In the track listing, I unticked all but the first track.
   Then I hit the 'Rip CD' button.

   The first track was duly ripped and written to disk,
   but mythmusic appeared to read all the others and not
   write them to disk. I got the desired result, but the
   implemntation was surprising - I was expecting that mythmusic
   would return to the ripping screen after completing all
   selected tracks, i.e. just the first one.
   Can anyone explain why it doesn't do that?

4. After a certain length of time the box showing
   'Rip completed successfully [ok]' disappeared
   and the rip ran again, without me touching anything
   (at least, as far as I recall).
   I waited again after the second rip, nothing happened.
   Could that have been a keyboard double-strike?
   I was using a plain vanilla USB keyboard.

Hope someone has a little time to reply.
Cheers
Vince
