Tracktype – This is another free metadata service like FreeDB. Key the web

address

www.tracktype.org

into the FreeDB options in the metadata preferences

as shown in figure 4.6. Tracktype does not provide cover art.

Metadata drop down boxes – The boxes beside each metadata service

provider allow the user to choose the order that Ripstation v4.4 queries each

metadata provider. Click the drop down menu to the left of each provider and set

to Never, First, Second or Third.

No Data Setting - Four options exist for dealing with albums with no metadata.

Automatically Rip - Discs will be ripped using “Unknown Artist” for artist

tag and artist folder name. The album name will be generated using a unique

ID. All albums ripped in this way will be placed into an artist folder called

'Unknown Artist” for later tagging and naming. There are several added

options to automatically rip. The second new option is to have a cddbid text
file placed in the album folder for unknown discs.

Automatically Reject - Discs will be rejected and placed in the reject pile.

Rip and Reject - This option is the same as Automatically Rip except the

unknown discs will be placed on the reject stack.

Query User - User will immediately be prompted to enter album information

manually during the batch process, as shown in figure 4.8.
