The ISO extracts will occur on the drive where you do the extracts.Here is a simple primer:1) First make a new folder close to a root drive (so the naming path doesn’t get too long..sometimes the classical ones are ridiculous). Call it, say, ISO2DSD. 2) Then make a subfolder in it called Programs (capital “P”). 3) Put the SACD-extract.exe (first link below, unzip) executable in the Programs subfolder. http://code.google.com/p/sacd-ripper/downloads/detail?name=sacd_extract_0.3.7_WIN32.zip&can=2&q=4) Put the bat file (link below, unzip) in the main folder.https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3487125/Extract%20DST%20Stereo%20DSF%20Files.zip5) So then put any number of ISOs (rename the ISOs if their name is too long; something that will uniquely identify them but not too long) you want to extract in the main folder (the one with the bat, the one we called ISO2DSD). 6) Click on the bat file and then each ISO will extract to DSF tracks, putting one album full of tracks in a folder each (20 ISOs, 20 new folders created). When you do this again remove the already-extracted ISOs or they will get worked on again! Each ISo can take 10 minutes or more, so once you have this down well do a shitload overnight.
No, you have it!! The third bat down (Extract DST Stereo DSF Files). ALL bats do multiple ISO's, all of them. That's why they exist. Just stick multiple ISO's in the parent folder and click the bat. Multiple folders will be created, one at a time. Then, when that "job" is done just cut and paste the folders to your music library, and move the ISOs out for another batch.By the way, the MACOSX folder can go, so can sacd_extract.exe in the main folder, so can the dll in Programs, and that Guide is quite old (I'm on version 3.0 now). And get rid of any other bat files you don't use.
Update - I just extracted 8 albums in DSF. I copied the JPEG files I had gathered for the DFF files into the folder and then imported a single album and it was tagged, including the year and genre and then a second album with the same results. Thanks so much.
I gotta back Ted up on DSF vs. DFF. When I extracted my multi-channel files for playback in Foobar, I started with DFF. With no tagging and the crazy inconsistent metadata imbedded in the SACD iso, finding and playing files with apple remote was really frustrating. I bit the bullet, reextracted all MC programs as DSF and tagged them in Jriver. Now searching and playing the files with Foobar & Apple Remote is smooth and easy. 400+ multi-channel albums at my fingertips.Russ
