TedVery nice job with the videos. J River may give us too many options - as you stated in the video, there are always 4 different ways to do things.Fixing capitalization and other issues, especially in SACD rips, may be simpler to do using Library Tools- Clean File Properties rather than writing an expression. I find that menu item fixes all kinds of junk.Perhaps the most powerful set of tools for extracting info into and out of the tags and file names are the 2 library commands Rename, Move and Copy FilesFill Properties from FilenameAnd to a lesser extent, Fill Track Numbers from List Order.Using those 2 commands, if the information is anywhere in the Filename or tags, it can be put into the proper place.
Ted, thanks for taking the time with the videos. What you've shown is a great help.I'm wondering if a short video can be done to show different audio set ups with pros and cons of each (such as ASIO and other variants) and the various operating systems. I personally always find this stuff confusing. I run ASIO with winamp on Windows XP and I never know if I would have to do the same for JRiver. Can JRiver achieve this with a stock install or does other software have to be installed as I have done for my winamp / ASIO setup? What if you're using Windows 7 or Windows 8? If not a video at least a chart would be a good starting point.Thanks for all your efforts,TV
After several failed and one half-ass attempt at publishing a JRiver tutorial I have worked out many of the bugs (read: user error and video driver issues) and decided to try again.At the urging of several Audio Circle and Computer Audiophile members I am attempting to publish a four-part tutorial (edit, make that three-part) on Getting Started With JRiver As An Audiophile Player. I decided on the multi-part structure because I felt that it would be easier for folks who already have some JRiver experience to pick and choose (i.e Part One is pretty darn basic). Also, it gives me more freedom to go into some additional detail in each section. So.......I will publish the series as outlined below. When a section is ready, it will be bolded and will include two links:Hi James I have connected my laptop with a USB ab cable to the bda2 but what ever file (resolution) I send to the dac it always shows the same resolution on my dac shouldn't it show what ever resolution the file is?* a screencast.com link to watch it online* a dropbox link to download the MP4 video to your computer.Part One: Intro (20:39)• Introduction• Installation• Importing music• Setting up DAC/output• Basic JRemote setupView Part One online: http://www.screencast.com/t/6RPtNbbKN4Download MP4 video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3487125/jriver%20part%201%20-%20intro.mp4Part Two: Tagging and Custom Views• Tagging techniques• Filling tags from file info• Tag Pasting• Mass tagging ideas• Building customized views• Exporting them to JRemoteView Part Two online: http://www.screencast.com/t/52KgBYF34vSDDownload MP4 video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3487125/Jriver%20Part%20Two%20-%20Tags%20and%20Views.mp4Part Three: Resampling, file conversions and misc feedback• How to set up output for PCM and DSD resampling• How to convert PCM to DSD offline• Answering feedback questions with examplesAs I publish these feel free to leave feedback, criticism or ideas to include in the remaining sections. Alos, if you go to screencast to view online and it disallows you, my monthly bandwidth is used up and downloading via dropbox is your other option (the dropbox links are public and don't require a dropbox app at your end). Thanks....P.S. Here is the original out-of-synch 26 min video, in case you were wondering where I was going with the subject matter. It was included in this original now-defunct thread topic.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3487125/Jriver%20Beginner.mp4
