Re: Tracklist via clipboard

For a CD with "various artists" that you want to get the artist from the
Title field (in EAC, when ripping), you do have to put the artist first,
then a /, then the track title. THERE MUST BE A SPACE on each side of the /
character.

But you also should open EAC -> EAC options -> Filename, and check the box
for using "Various Artist" naming scheme.

Some articles on the web (including Andre's own website) say there's a
"various artist" checkbox on the main screen; I can't find it (I'm using
1.3).

I suppose, also, that you could always try using the Database -> Transform
-> Split feature...

Please let us know what (if anything) works for you. -- Mark F.

It is hard to believe a man is telling you the truth when you know you
would lie if you were in his place.
