...any specific reason for ignoring TITLE and PERFORMER info when importing CD-TEXT cuesheets into flac files? (These two fields have not always been used but they have become widely supported by now). One may answer that the preferred method for getting this kind of info for a cuesheet-flac would be CDDB, but CDDB info is not always reliable. In my opinion the goal "Now a CD can be completely backed up to a single FLAC file for archival" has not been reached as long as this metadata is incomplete. Since there is no standardization for metadatablocks in flac files containing multiple track...

On CentOS 5.4 I just installed K3B to write some CDs. Now every time I used a CD, I get a popup that asks me to "Select a CDDB entry ...". How can I stop this popup? Thanks, Mike,

Copying a CD with k3b is no problem, except I want to include on my copy the cbbd data (from freedb.org). I've configured k3b's cddb section according to instructions at <http://www.freedb.org/en/faq.3.html#15> and read every article google could find about "k3b cddb freedb.org config", but still k3b can't manage it. Grip handles getting the cddb data just fine. I'm beginning to think that k3b is si...

...ways putting *.cue files to the directory with the > ripped audio files. but it would prefer one file per song and not one > big file for the whole cd. My vision of how the players should work is this: - make one album.flac with CUESHEET - player loads album.flac, sees CUESHEET, calculates CDDB id (or CDindex, or custom hash), looks up metadata in database - player presents album.flac as separate tracks - playlists can reference individual tracks in album.flac Josh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I'm trying to install the exaile package on my newly upgraded CentOS 6.4 machine. It fails (see below) with missing dependencies on python-cddb and gnome-python2-gtkmozembed. I found this thread but there does not seem to be any resolution. \ Has anyone got this installed? Am I missing a repo?

Hi, A short question: what program for windows can rip, ogg at "-q 4.99" and tag correctly based on cddb ? (rc3 or better ofcourse) I need this to encode over 1000 CDs with 10 people who will each do 100. I have a simple perl script for linux to do this (if someone wants it you can have it) but that's not an options for these windows users. I never use windows, so I don't know, so I ask here...

Is there a standard field inside OGG comments to save freedb-id of the original CD, which track was grabbed from? If not, may this be a little wish for Ogg Vorbis format specification? ========================================================================== * Forwarded by Arioch /BDV/ <the_Arioch@chat.ru> * From: "Jackie" <jackie@audiograbber.com-us.net> * Date: Tue, 25

All this talk about vorbis comments has made me think. Would it be possible to create backups of the Vorbis comments for my vorbis collection (currently about 1850 files) ? Instead of having to make sure I enter the correct details into CDex (saving in to cdplayer.ini & backing up that), or if I have comments in the Vorbis files that aren't stored in cdplayer.ini, such as the tags

...However, I need its ID3 information. I need the client program (i.e., XMMS) to be able to look at a file and know its artist and title. Those are the only two required fields, as a matter of fact. Generally, in order to program my MP3 files with appropriate information, I use GRIP's built-in CDDB connectivity. I would use the CDDB connectivity for setting the information in FLAC as well. If necessary, I can write a wrapper that puts the information in a file through an outside utility. But I would need the outside utility, and I would need support in FLAC. I could use file names to appr...

...ed it from some particular album. An alternative is to add yet another new tag to say which album the track was taken from, but I don't think the solution is even more tags (although I admit that is the extent of my disagreement with this solution). Another alternative then is to use some CDDB or Songprint/Musicbrainz entry to identify the song. I object to CDDB being in the tags because a CDDB entry is a computer-id and not a human id. That's what we will have the structured metadata (which has yet to be designed) for - computer data, non-human type data (among other things) t...

I have read some posts about using FLAC to archive CD collections and would like to get some feedback. I am torn between creating a bin and cue file with CDDB info and compressing that down with FLAC as a single file or the second method of ripping all the files out to wav and converting to FLAC and maybe saving the cue file in attempt to use it later. The first method I believe will pretty much insure the ability to restore the CD faithful to the origi...

...m track 0, is it possible to use the cdrtoa -t or -T options to compensate for the shift. I am not sure I fully understand the option, but I came across it and thought I would mention it. The method I was using was this one I found through google - all in one file like this: cdrdao read-cd --with-cddb --datafile album.bin album.toc cueconvert album.toc album.cue flac --endian=big --sign=signed --channels=2 --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --cuesheet=album.cue album.bin Works going there, but not sure about getting back. I guess right now I need to go and try both methods. If I can help with abcde...

...When I started examining XMCD I thought the scope of problems it may result in was limited to it running as an suid root program on the local host. It seems the extent that it may compromise the vulnerability of your host may extend far beyond that. The handling of input returned from a remote cddbd server appears suspect with respect to buffer handling, meaning that if a cddb server has had its security compromised, it could return false responses to database queries that could result in a buffer overflow allowing the cddb server to execute arbitrary code on your machine. Because of the maj...
