    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    180 does seem like a low number based on my experience so far.

    you are more than correct, maybe I should keep quiet until I learn how to use it.

    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    Thanks Chris, definitely heard a difference with files moved to Aurender local drive. Clearer, more forward and a bit more channel separation. Now to go back and clean up my iTunes library on my mac mini. Going to try the scripts that Chris C recommended on CA only in later versions. Will let you know.

    oops, sorry, don't know how to add link here.
    Not sure why some people are trying to complicate this. I've always used iTunes to rip (AIFF format). It integrates perfectly with the Aurender. All you need to do is drop in the cover art file then upload the folder to the Aurender.

    Are people having other issues with this (am I missing something)?

    Ive got a Antipodes arriving tomorrow so ill find out what software it uses then.
    Most people don't realise that you can in fact plug in a USB CD-rom drive into an Aurender and rip directly. The cost is under $50 these days for a suitable drive. This is nice because you can then remove once done and you don't have a redundant drive sitting there afterwards.

    I sure didn't! How does it handle tagging?

    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    Never tried it, I imagine it may connect to a database if connected to the internet, otherwise you'd have to do it manually. I think you'd be far better off ripping on your computer. I just mention it because I think the lack of a CD drive on the Aurender is a pro, not a con like some people suggest. Many work-arounds so that it's a non-issue.

    The other benefit of ripping on your PC is that you have a backup of your music by default.

    I don't know why that would make a difference. I thought the N100H buffers everything to the internal SSD regardless of where the files are stored.

    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    A little update and a question:

    I have moved all music from NAS to Aurender local drive, I have cleaned up and added album covers and for the most part I am thrilled with the improvement in SQ. Still breaking in, but more room arrow d the instruments, female vocal are in the room and dead quiet background.
    Question, I have about 55 albums that do not show an artist under the album title in the album view. They seem to be set up the same way ones that have artist are set up. Aurender help has suggested I use XLD to tag these. I have used XLD to convert from air to flac, but don't know what they mean by tagging??? Would someone please tell me how to set XLD preferences so that I don't screw up the file already there. Not sure where the artist would go to get it to display on my iPad. Thanks.

    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    Jeff...I don't use XLD; so I can't speak to it...but I can't imagine tagging programs, are that different.

    If you have XLD installed...I would suggest, you should be able to right-click on the file (or better yet...select all files, of a particular album for example)



    For me...I select Edit ID Tag (but your option, with XLD installed...should be there instead)



    And then your tagging options, should look...more or less...like this; where you'd enter meta-data information.



    If you're still stuck, let me know; I can walk you through it real quick.

    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    Well, it works sometimes and sometimes it only tags the first track on the album and names only that track. On XLD it has a spot for track ____ to track____ and I put in the numbers. Could not seem to insert the image here.

    No Mike; as my tagging is pretty tight But if someone has a TON of files...and is trying to do mass conversion, and/or tagging; looks like a good solution.

    It's not the only one; but perhaps it'll turn out to be better or easier.

    Well...by DVD, do you mean DVD-A? What's the codec (file format) you've ripped to? As for DSD; if they're "native" .dsf, like mine...my understanding is, they can't be tagged.

    Now, Aurender will read Artist, track #, and track title from the file (like 01 - Artist - Song Title.dsf); but my understanding, is the dbpoweramp tagger...cannot tag .dsf (at least I don't get the option to...and it's one of the reasons, some guys are for converting DSD/DSF to FLAC).

    That being said...a) it's been a while since I checked, and I need to (so if I find anything out, I'll pass it along); b) might just need a plug-in at this point, and c) some other taggers...might do .dsf.

    Yeah...as I said to JG; it had been a while, since I looked into it...and I was pretty sure there was a tweak at the time, and likely a pretty straight-forward solution by now.

    I actually had/have Tag & Rename, because I read it was the best mass re-tagger; at a time where I was contemplating that (though Mike's suggestion, seems like it has a lot of potential too).

    Also...mp3tag, does .dsf; so there are definitely options now. I'll admit; I've been using, whatever is "built-in" to dbpoweramp for so long...I don't really want to change it up much. I tried to see, if there was an update, or .dsf plug-in; or even really, what dbpoweramp uses.

    Can't really tell, though I'll probably just post at Illustrate and figure it out. It might even be, a stripped down version...of mp3tag.

    Re: Aurender N100H Review

    Hello Folks
    I am still not being able to correctly tag Aiff files (already tagged in windows via properties etc..)
    Example
    Album : Cartography
    Artist : Arve Henriksen
    12 tracks in aiff
    The Aurender still does not see it as a whole album
    One of the tracks is "Unknown"
    Weird ?

    Some other FLACS , ripped from dbpoweramp , have the cover not recognised

    Weird ?

    Any solutions ?

    Cheers
