Exact Audio Copy 0.99b3 under Wine 0.9.51 on Kubuntu 7.10. It can see the audio CD in the drive, no problems, no fuss. What it can't do is contact FreeDB to get CD track names. Clicking the "FreeDB" button in EAC brings up http://www.freedb.org/ in Konqueror. So the problem isn't that FreeDB is down. When I run EAC from the command line, there's nothing showing up with a "fixme:". What routines should I check are proper...

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 want to get a sense of "best practices" for tagging flac files. i want to archive my entire cd collection as flac files (onto a few of those new western digital 120GB drives). as part of encoding the flac files, i'd like to add 1. id3v2 tags (preferably automatically gotten from freedb) 2. timed lyrics a la lyrics3 v2 (is there a freedb-like source for this?) 3. album art (this one would just be nice to have. dunno if there's some repository out there for this) What would be the best way to automate creating flac files from audio cds that at least include 1 & 2 (on win...

Now that we have a useful standard that allows us to label our recordings properly: Are there yet any on-line databases (I'm thinking freedb-like, but freedb is as lame as ever) that allow storage/retreival of all of these useful comments?

...rl, and several batch files and perl scripts to automate the process as much as possible. The only thing I can't figure out how to automate is getting the CD info (album, artist... err... performer ;) and track names). Internet access to those machines is proxied, and EAC can't get the freedb info through a proxy (I don't think). Plus, the GUI interface is a bummer (can't be automated with perl). And even if I could get EAC talking to freedb through the proxy, I don't think I want to because I use the artist and album titles to determine where to upload the tracks in a...

Is there a standard field inside OGG comments to save freedb-id of the original CD, which track was grabbed from?

I had an idea. I find it really difficult to get all the correct comments into my vorbis files, especially since i mainly rely on the freedb.org connectivity within CDex to save me from the time consuming task of getting the correct data into the files, making sure everything is spelled properlly etc. So i was just wondering if theres any viable point in the existence of a P2P comments software for vorbis. using my fabulous talent of...

...sted to this list, hoping for a solution. But then I realized my trusty GRIP was the flawed program. Now re-ripping my CDs, I want to do it right. I need either a program that either adds the ID3V2 tags directly to the files (a better ripper), or a program that takes ID3V1 truncat- tags, queries FreeDB, gets the whole track name, and puts it into an ID3V2 tag. Has anyone used a free ripper that supports FLAC and ID3V2 tags? If so, let me know! Thanks everyone, especially Josh for this codec. -- Asheesh.

...re rippable bits. I don't see any problem with taking innovation as far as is practical and saying "it's finished, no more updates". I'm not expecting FLAC or cdparanoia to be able to integrate with FaceHugger, or even to be able to query track titles online. If I want to do freedb lookups, I can use abcde (in text mode) or any of the GUI rippers, most of whom use flac and cdparanoia as back-end utilities. I like the idea of software that just works and doesn't need any further refinement. Similar to hardware that's built to last (see below)... > Guess what? Tec...

It's very good you can remove all the tags and retag so you can do your conversion from there.

First, the in the links section of www.vorbis.com is a link to http://www.vorbislinks.com/ which no longer a vorbis dedicated site (it's one of those general dns parking/general index). I don't know who's the webmaster, it is implied that's Simon Yorkston, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the real rason of this mail is that I'm ripping my CDs collection, and I'm taking a

I wanted to post publicly my problem with Jonathan's proposed album requirements. Although I do apologize, since this thread is too big already. The idea that as a requirement one should be able to identify the exact CD a track was ripped from is not a valid requirement in my book (not for the tags at least), and I hope I can explain why. Without knowing the exact way Jonathan wishes to

Hi, Peter Pawlowski's new (1.15beta) winamp decoder plugin seems quite nice, in my opinion.. The "title formatting logic" is what I've been dreaming of for ages.. Right now I've chosen "%artist / [[%[abbr20]album][-%[num2]tracknumber] / ]%title[ - %version]" I get titles such as "Artist / Title"or "Artist / Album / Title" or "Artist /

...lace the matching strings with whatever is indicated for that expression. This way you would be much more flexible to even correct certain misspellings... just have a set of flags with every expression to specify when to invoke this expression: manual, on load of file, on building a filename, after freeDB-download, etc. Or have the possibility to route every string through an external utility (filter), with information on the operation being performed... Or implement a plugin interface... (yeah, leave the real work to those who need this sort of stuff!) Hm, just kidding?! Friedrich > -----Ur...
