Technical Support / Re: Great new way to clean up ...
Last post by wallewek - March 16, 2026, 06:51:21 PMSorry sorry being dense, and possibly blind, but I don't see any "file" mention in either of those screen. Only album names.
If I go to the "Settings" gear at the top of the screen, there is a Collections path and a "View in File Explorer" that takes me to all the album files, though; I hope that should do. I'm guessing if I edit an album file there, VS will pick up the changes?

Right, yes. And there is no way to close that popup, but keep its associated track list visible while splitting?
I'm asking because the auto-scan for track breaks (which works wonderfully, BTW) sometimes has trouble on "iffy" albums, and it would be nice to keep the "official" reference handy for comparison.
Oh, well, I'll live. Thanks!

Last post by wallewek - March 16, 2026, 05:06:49 PMRight. Having to cut the selection out and undo the cut works, but it's harder to be precise and adjust than if the yellow selection worked the way track markers do, setting a permanent marker you can move back and forth. Once you've cut, you can't adjust. And unfortunately, deleting a track messes up the track list.
Track markers are perfect to skip sound between tracks or sides; it's easy to use them to tweak lead-in and -out. If one could have a non-splitting "skip" marker it would be ideal. You could even use the (G) and (5) tools to check the settings; wouldn't have to delete anything, making it easy to go back and tweak later.

I find this question a little confusing, but you must close the popup before you can record, if that's what you're asking.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - March 15, 2026, 08:20:58 PMHe's right, it's more difficult to get a cut exactly right. There is a trick to it though:
1. Make your best guess and put in the cut.
2. Listen to the result.
3. If it's not good enough, undo the cut (Ctrl+Z) and drag the appropriate edge(s) of the selection.
4. Repeat the cut (X).
5. Repeat from step 2 until it's exactly right.

I don't understand, are you using a selection (Yellow highlight). It's no different than dragging track breaks. But I'm sure you already know this.

General Discussion / Viewing Discogs track list whi...
Last post by wallewek - March 15, 2026, 06:00:53 PMPardon if this has been answered previously.
When I lookup an album on Discogs, the popup help seems to imply that I can keep that list when recording and splitting that album. That list is sometimes helpful when splitting, but it doesn't appear to be possible to keep the list open when recording. Am I missing something, or is that just how it is?
Thanks!

Last post by wallewek - March 14, 2026, 11:33:49 PMQuote from: Indy33 on March 14, 2026, 04:34:07 PMWhy do you dislike deleting a fraction of music? Just curious about your thoughts
Because if it's not done right it's noticeable. And if I didn't care about that, why rip it at all?
When there's a repeating segment, if I clip it out cleanly it's inaudible. And that should be possible. It's just a little challenging to get the start and end points right with no marker. Ideally it would work like track start/end markers.
