I've had this problem encoding oggs where the output file is small, like 24kbytes for a 4 minute song (tested at 128 and 160kbit). I'm running Windows 2000 and this has happened in oggenc, oggdrop, and CDEX, though I've also been able to get good encodings with each of these. I think the only clean encodings have been .wav's that I've made myself with SoundForge or CoolEdit,

Hey all. I was an "early" adopter of mp3 (1994-1995), and I took great pains to use digital audio extractors and avoid jitter and whatnot thru proper hardware - back then, this was no mean feat. Well, I'm starting to switch to Ogg (dragging out all the CD's, starting over) and I want to know if anyone has an informed opinion on the merits or demerits of "normalization"

I am using CDex to encode my music into Flac. I am using the latest version of Flac (with the frontend etc.) and sending the rips to it as an 'external encoder' with the string: -8 -o %2 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%b" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%tn" -T "genre=%g" - However, I am getting the below output/error with

Goals: 1. Store meta data 2. Be able to recreate and burn bit-for-bit accurate audio CDs from archive. 3. Be able to "generate" lossy format files (OggVorbis,MP3,etc) with meta info intact when needed. 4. One file per song. 5. Files playable in XMMS and WinAMP3. Questions: Q1. OGG vs FLAC container? Q2. Meta data format? Q3. In detail, how does one do goal 2? Q4. What ripping/encoding

I'm having some difficulty getting into Ogg. Being my first time encoding to Ogg, I am left doubtful of the quality in reproduction. Hopefully, it is merely something that I am doing. My original intentions were to go through my CD collection and rip everything out at 224kps VBR. I began with an album I was relatively familiar with. I used FreeRip 2.53 initially, but found that I had

Thanks for all the great responses on tools to use - I have Exact Audio Copy and CDex working very well, and I've been working out all the kinks. Two questions, one very Vorbis related, one not :) 1) I know people have asked many times "What quality should I use". Well, I want to ask it again but in a narrower frame. I see less than 10% difference in size between 4.99 and 5.00 -

Once i've run into misfeature. I've grabbed an Audio CD with one of russian opera's, and its comment been wirttenas a 8-bit ANSI text. When i tried to play them in WnAMP - the comments were unreadable. Peter (the author of WinAMP OGG plugin) told me, that the comments must be encoded using UTF-8. I wrote it to the author of AudioGrabber and he told me he will forward it to plugin

I'm currently using CDex with the string: -8 -V -T artist="%a" -T album="%b" -T title="%t" -T date="%y" -T tracknumber="%tn" -T genre="%g" --replay-gain -o "%2" "%1" but I decided I don't need/want ReplayGain since I can't stand how low (quiet) it plays. Funny thing is I edited the RG part

I've been having problems with Audiograbber, it got the track breaks all wrong on a couple of CDs. I think it re-used the track breaks from the first CD when reading subsequent CDs. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good CD ripper? I've also tried Exact Audio Copy, but didn't get on with it very well. Phil Hibbs Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Aston, UK

Hello all, I wanted to ask some experienced users some settings about oggenc. 1. How can I setup oggenc so that I can DIRECTLY rip tracks off my audio cd? As we all know, audio cd doens't really have a file format that we can directly use. Do I HAVE to convert them to wav files then convert them to ogg files? 2. The options: -b -m -M with the bitrate of the audio file. If I set something

Does such a thing exist? I know I can convert the oggs to wavs and then to the audio CD, but it would be good to do it in one step. If there is nothing available right now, are there any freeware / open-source products in the pipeline?

Hello wine users: Could someone, please, help me how to make work EAC with wine in openSUSE 10.2? Earlier (SUSE 10.1) I could configure wine to use windows 2000 as default windows version and EAC to use 'native Win32 interface for WinNT/2000/XP' and these worked together fine. Now in openSUSE 10.2 (wine version wine-0.9.37-12.1) when I start EAC with wine I get: a) when the interface

This is more of an EAC question, but I have not yet received an answer from my post on that page. Since they are closely related I thought I would give it a try here. I just bought a BIG stack of CDs (70+) and decided to recheck all of my EAC (beta 4) + FLAC (1.1.2) settings prior to ripping and encoding them. I also calibrated a new external Plextor CD-ROM too. The setting string I use in

Firstly, a big thank-you to Josh for FLAC. Someone mentioned it in a post on Slashdot, so I came over to sourceforge for a look-see. This is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. Can anyone relate any general tips for using flac on Windows for the purpose of archiving cd's? If I can nail down a solid, easy-to-use process, I'm happy to write it up and contribute it to the

I could use some help setting up Exact Audio Copy using wine 0.9.24 and SuSe 10.2 with KDE 3.5xx My problem is finding the audio cd, If I put in a data disk, hal will update /media/.hal.mtab will have an entry and create a temporary mounting point such as /media/new I probably could use that in winecfg to set up a mounting point for wine. However if I insert an audio disk, the hal system

I've been running through a collection of hard to encode samples that the lame developers use, and others, doing ABX testing at various quality levels looking for my personal sweet spot. Last time I did this for RC3 I found that most samples where pretty transparent around the 3.5-4 region (my ears aren't that well trained, and I don't want them to be :-), but this time I noticed

Hi guys, I use EAC to save and compress my CD's to my network drive. In the past my compression to Flac was slightly worse than the file size shown by EAC. Now, since about two weeks ago, my compression ends up at about half the size of EAC i.e. I went from a compression ratio of approx 70% to a ratio of 30%. I get the feeling that the compression is somehow missing something. Or is the

I absolutly love the program, have been waiting for it for a long time. But, the Ogg Vorbis support is not good.
