search for: seekpoint

Hello, metaflac provides exporting CUEpoints, but not SEEKpoints. As i understand, cuepoints represent gaps beetween tracks (inserting pause), whereas seekpoints merely describe a list of seekable points. Can cuepoint be used just as seekpoints (in the end, the only thing which matters is that some classic media players will recognize them). In the script i ha...

..., but some of the details in the history file puzzle me, so I've not tried to use it yet. Pardon my denseness here ... First, as long as you don't use the --cuesheet option when you encode, are .flac files encoded by 1.1.0 still readable by earlier versions? Second, if the old default for seekpoints was -S100x and the new one is -S10s, does that mean that, if you encode a 44.1-ksps WAV that was ripped from a CD, the old default was to set 441 seekpoints per second and the new one is to set one seekpoint every ten seconds? One of the major reasons I preferred FLAC to APE, despite APE's us...

Hello, I managed to insert cuepoints from a cue sheet and check them with metaflac. I witnessed that the FLAC headers then had additionnals sections (one for cuepoints and one for seekpoints), but i could not find documentation how the format used to store them (frame counts for both ?). Anyway it seems that cuepoints must be specified in MM:SS:fr format. It would be nice if those could be specified also as frame counts (this alternate format is allowed for seekpoints): --seekpoint=...

Thank you all very much for making things clear. I had confused seekpoints and cuepoints indeed !

are internal structures, unexposed to the end-user as you suggest. For me, a seekpoint describes an offset in the audio file, and enables any player to jump to instantly jump to that position. For instance, if you pack up an a collection of audio tracks into a single FLAC file, there is a strong need for seeking ! It is common, typically in classical music, to have up to 40 tracks o...

Hello, I have used --import-cuesheet-from= to insert the cue points, which are OK according to "--export-cuesheet-to=-". The points I invoke are: - the possibility to specify them as frame count instead of time - the doc: i would not find in which format cue/seekpoints are stored in the headers - titles: apparently they get lost with this option. I guess they would be preserved if put into tags, but it seems odd to me to put a raw cuesheet into a tag Phil ----- Mail d'origine ----- De: Harry Sack <tranzedude at gmail.com> ?: porte64 at free.fr Cc: fl...

...ause of FLAC's metadata system. There just isn't a method specified yet because as soon as it is, people will say that it's not flexible enough." About the other point : > not sure what you mean by frame counts but the cue points can > also be absolute sample numbers like --seekpoint=# This is exactly what i am looking for (cuepoints specified as absolute frame numbers) it seems you have something working, but what's the option/syntax for this ? As there is no --cuepoint option, i presume that absolute frame numbers must be specified within cuesheet files instead of HH:MM...

Hi List, Is there a way to correctly use the replay-gain feature on flac files that contain an entire album (i.e., multiple tracks with seekpoints added from a cue sheet)? -- Chris

...does not require "code." In fact, you might want to move your question from the FLAC-Dev list to the FLAC (User) list. I'm on both lists, so I did not realize that you were basically asking in the wrong place. No "coding" skills whatsoever are required to create seekpoint markers in a FLAC file. Anyway, FLAC has a command-line program for maximum portability across multiple platforms. While it may seem almost as complicated as "coding," using the command-line is not nearly the same level of difficulty, although it is not familiar to the average com...

...where # is the track number. If ask foobar to open the corresponding cuesheet, foobar display a playlist of rich information like correct track name (song name) and performer information. My guess is either cuesheet is embeded but non of my player can let me see it, or only seekpoints (or, information about where each track starts) is embeded in flac file? Thanks in advance! Here is the cue file I used. PERFORMER "Susann McDonald" TITLE "Harp Spectacular" FILE "CDImage.wav" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Impromptu, Op. 86" PERFOR...
