Hello!

Recently, I noticed that MAREO is using the track artist to build paths according to my configuration. How can I configure it to use the CD artist instead?

Here are my EAC command line options:

CODE

mareo.ini "%n %t" %s %d "%a" "%g" "%t" "%n" %y "%m"

And here is my mareo.ini file:

CODE

; MAREO - (M.)ultiple (A.)pplications (R.)unner for (E.)AC and (O.)thers.

; Literal           From              Replacing Value
; @finalnameonly@   Parameter # 2     Encoded File Final File Name (ie.: artist - cd - track - name)
; @source@          Parameter # 3     FULL Source File Name
; @dest@            Parameter # 4     FULL Destination File Name
; @artist@          Parameter # 5     CD Artist Name
; @cdname@          Parameter # 6     CD Name
; @songname@        Parameter # 7     Song Name
; @track@           Parameter # 8     Track (song) Number
; @year@            Parameter # 9     Year of the CD release
; @genre@           Parameter # 10    CD's Music Genre
; @11@ .. @nn@      Parameter # 11... User Definenable
;
; @ownpath@         MAREO finds out   the full path to MAREO, without the the ending backslash
; @finalpathonly@   MAREO finds out   the final path to where the encode file will end
; @finalfullname@   MAREO finds out   the final full name of the encoded file: @finalpathonly@ + \ + @finanameonly@
; @tmpfullname@     MAREO finds out   the full temporal name with the encoder extension
; @tmppathonly@     MAREO finds out   the full temporal path, without the ending backslash
; @tmpnameonly@     MAREO finds out   the temporal name, without any extension
; @extonly@         MAREO finds out   the encoder file extension without the dot (ie: OGG)

; EOF

For albums with one artist, the path looks like

CODE

C:\Documents and Settings\Sebastian\My Documents\My Music\Archive\Chris Rea\Auberge\01 Auberge.ape

and

C:\Documents and Settings\Sebastian\My Documents\My Music\Portable\Chris Rea\Auberge\01 Auberge.mp3

but for CDs with various artists, instead of writing the files to

CODE

C:\Documents and Settings\Sebastian\My Documents\My Music\Archive\Various\Dream Dance 3 (Disc 1)\01 Faithless - Salva Mea.ape

and

C:\Documents and Settings\Sebastian\My Documents\My Music\Portable\Various\Dream Dance 3 (Disc 1)\01 Faithless - Salva Mea.mp3

MAREO creates

CODE

C:\Documents and Settings\Sebastian\My Documents\My Music\Archive\Faithless\Dream Dance 3 (Disc 1)\01 Faithless - Salva Mea.ape

Regards,
Sebastian

Sebastian,

Did you ever figure out how to do this? I am having the exact same issue with my setup

Thanks,

This is simply down to the paramters passed by EAC to MAREO.

Therefore, the answer is 'no'.

The %t in your MAREO command line is the EAC parameter for the CD Artist (not track artist, but EAC does seem to get confused with various artist CDs and pass through the artist for the first track).

Synthetic Soul,
I am a beginner at this, but I am not sure you are correct here. EAC seems fine passing the correct various artist naming scheme (\various\album\track title - artist name) to the first encoder via mareo. when it comes to the second encoder via mareo, this breaks down and the naming scheme becomes as follows: \track artist\album\track title.

so it looks like there is an issue with passing this via mareo rather than EAC not being able to pass it on correctly.

Any further thoughts?

The naming is done by EAC for the first encoder, while MAREO is responsible for the rest.
