CODE
-8 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T album="%g" -T "date=%y" -T "genre=%m" -T tracknumber="%n" %s


Hi guys, I'm wondering what do you think of my commandline above? I'm wondering if it matters in the order that I have made the commandline? Meaning the track number going after the genre? If not, how should I rearrange my commandline?

On a side note, does anyone here know why Foobar 2000 list my songs in the following format?

CODE
Christina Aguilera - [Stripped #18] The Voice Within


Does the above look a bit weird to you? Or the format looks okay and I should go along with it?

Fb2K lists your song titles like that because of the string in Preferences > Display > Title Formatting.

This makes no difference at all.

So I'm good to go and start ripping my CDs? There are no problems with my commandline then?

Watch where you put your quotation marks.

For comparison, the HA wiki example is:

-6 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T comment="%e" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %s

Does it matter though? Will it affect the way the tags will come out? How should I change it then?
Synthetic Soul
How about the way krabapple already suggested (and you quoted)?

I'm not sure it matters, bu I do think that it makes sense to be consistent with your syntax.

The thing is that I don't need to add a comment such as indicating that EAC is using Secure Mode. I think I know where you're getting to and you're suggesting that my commandline should look like this?

CODE
-8 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s


This is a bit off topic, but can you tell me what the "%s" symbol mean?
Synthetic Soul
That looks good.

The %s is a token that will be replaced by EAC with the full path to the source WAVE.

This is my command line:

CODE
--no-padding --replay-gain -8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" %s


I don't put the genre in there because it's hard to standardize as someone else already mentioned in another thread.
