Hi! I was hoping there was a tool which would let me do something like: #flax -o existing.flac --append mytune.flac To merge the 2 files! Also; is it possible to change the velocity/gain of a flac track ? I would love to know how! Regards, Frans

Frans, You are basically talking about common audio processing on flac files. If you are not a developer, then the easiest way to do this is to decompress the flac to aiff or wav, do your append and/or gain changes, then recompress the resulting file(s) to flac. The only disadvantage here is the time to decode/encode, plus the disk space to hold the uncompressed files. However, if you are a developer, the flac library allows direct access to the audio from flac files. It should be easy to write a program which appends or gain changes flac files by processing the audio directly. You still have decode and encode time, but it happens in parallel with the processing, so the total time should be much quicker than above. You also use far less disk space. Personally, I would like to be able to burn flac files to CD-R without decompressing them and using an aiff/wav burner...

However, this wouldnt make much sense i guess, as the total process of muxing, appending and demuxing will probably take more time than reencoding ;) ....

I think you may be able to merge two ogg flac files (a flac file in an
ogg container).<br>

no. native FLAC is not a great container for these kind of things.

not sure what you mean by velocity. the only notion of gain in
FLAC are the de-facto replaygain tags which are supported by some
players.
