Okay.. I love flac but just had a rather serious failure that really shakes my confidence. It resulted in the near loss of a master audio recording. Fortunately, I have a backup. Though there may have been other cases where I have lost original material because I have been compressing a lot of originals and deleting them after doing a 'flac -t' on them. Basically, flac failed with a

Hello, How can you dump tags from files that are in FLAC format? At times I need to convert flac files and I would like to save the tag info so it can be re-applied. I have also been unable to find info on tagging FLAC archives. The FAQ has no info on this. My attempts to use the -T option have not gone well. Most threads on the subject discuss windows based tools. Thank you!

can you file a bug on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=13478&atid=113478 and attach the first 100k of each file? it will help to debug since I don't have any wave files that cause this behavior.

Howdy, Flac-1.1.4 is refusing to encode some WAV files (amd64, gentoo): % flac Song\ Name-Track01.wav Song Name-Track01.wav: WARNING: legacy WAVE file has format type 1 but bits-per-sample=24 Song Name-Track01.wav: 100% complete, ratio=0.546Song Name-Track01.wav: ERROR during read of data pad byte % sfinfo Song\ Name-Track01.wav File Name Song Name-Track01.wav File Format Microsoft RIFF

I say it would be "reliable". One missing byte is a huge burden and nonsensical? People post on this list looking for solutions. They don't want to become experts in the WAV

I see that this was the right place to fire off this question. Thanks for your feedback. It has given me a base to start some trials. I used to use EAC on Windows, but I tend to only use open source software as much as possible and I don't use Windows any more. I gave a brief look at abcde, but it is clear I need to look at this some more. It looks like it has the potential to do everything I
