rikirk Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It is not about the disc tag, it is all about special characters like the accents for the name Frederik in the composer name. As soon as I deleted the composer name it played flawless. I guess it's all good at this point just me that has to deal with some mass tagging! Thank you a TON for the kindest and generous support. Will keep you posted if something else shows up. Will see you at Axpona 2019 anyway! You can't miss it. Let me know if you want me to hook you up with a good dealer in town or you should get in touch with Wynn Audio (Wynn Wong). r Link to comment

It’s quite normal for a single album to have a disc number 1. I have now tested my new version with that same album and it can handle Frédérick; etc. as well as disc 1 for single albums. Will post that new version today. Thanks for the offer to hook up at Axpona and the dealer introduction. Cheers Geoff Owner of: Sound Galleries, High-End Audio Dealer, Monaco Link to comment
Geoffrey Armstrong Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 OK, so here's the new promised version. This version has improved handling of Multi-Disc boxed sets as well as better treatment of temp files when they are created. The file selected for play in J River starts to play in HQPlayer as soon as it's temp file is loaded. Before you had to wait until all temp files were loaded from the album(s) concerned. When temp files don't need to be loaded or are not desired, the problem Rick encountered is solved with this version. That occurred when there was only one disc in the album; but the Disc number was set to anything other than '0' or blank. In those cases I was erroneously trying to treat it as a multi-disc album. Rick; I tested with exactly the album you gave as an example. So please could you re-test this one with this new version. Set the Disc number of the album back to "1" before testing and you should find it working. Anyone else using this should update to this version by replacing the main scrip with the one attached here.

I changed HQPlayer for Album Payer… Let's be clear; this has nothing to do with the relative merits of HQPlayer versus any other player. I created this script for J River users who would like to play their music through HQPlayer. If it doesn't work for you the chances are that either: 1/ You haven't read the supplied manual and applied the settings correctly. 2/ Your music files are not correctly tagged. Remember this is a free of charge solution. I am happy to provide support, time permitting. I wrote the manual to accompany the software and if you follow it and have correctly tagged your files it should work for you. Anybody using this should ensure they have the latest version. Full package here, in case you need it. Geoff jr-hqp.zip Owner of: Sound Galleries, High-End Audio Dealer, Monaco Link to comment

I guess he's making this command from within the HQPlayer Desktop 3 directory, in which case the directory name would be followed by the right pointing arrow on the command line.
