I have a CD collection of about 20 discs that I currently archive on my hard disk in MP3 format. No, I do not like lossy compression. No, I do not like closed standards. No, I do not like software patents (Fraunhofer). In fact, I do not even need compression at this point, as my hard disk capacity is greater than the sum total of the CDs' WAV-format sizes. However, I need its ID3

Hi there, is there 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

I just installed Wine, and when i test it by the command "wine cdplayer" i get the following error message : "err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin kernel32.dll: symbol __sysconf, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference err:module:fixup_imports Module (file) KERNEL32.dll needed by C:\Windows\cdplayer.exe not found" I

So there are no command line options like in oggenc to do artist and misc tags? Sure if you've got a solution that I don't have to do from scratch then post away! :-) Thanks!

Hey all..I'm brand new to FLAC and learning to use it. Can somebody tell me how to insert things such as Artist, album etc. into the FLAC file? I'd like to do this at encode time via the command line. Thanks, Chris -- Only in America do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters

A month or two ago I sent an email to this list proposing to expand the list of "standard" tags for Ogg Vorbis. No tag would be required, but if you wanted to encode certain types of information about a file, you could use a standard tag. I went through the whole discussion, and revised my proposal in light of all the comments from everyone. Here is the updated proposal. This

Christian, Sorry I don't think I was so clear with my explaination of what I am doing. Your requirement flac -> mp3 is really a special case of ripping, if you think of the entire chain.... normal ripping: CD -> wav -> mp3 Your case is [CD -> wav ->] flac -> wav -> mp3 Which is equivalent to: flac -> wav -> mp3 I need this too and am proposing to use a ripping

Hi, I'm writing a tag-editor for ogg files. What tags, besides ogg-tags, are allowed in ogg files (if any). I'm thinking of id3v1, id3v2, ape tags and so on. I have a (probably small) problem with writing a new "comment header". I have tried opening a file with a valid header, and then simply moved some of the comment tags position, so that the total size and the count still

Hello: As seen in some of the MP3-oriented P2P programs and audio organizing tools, the underlying uniqueness of a given mp3 file can be learned (for the most part) by, for instance, taking a hash of the first 300,000 bytes of the non-id3 tag content of an mp3 file to obtain a content signature (This hash could then further be paired with the length of the non tag portion of the entire file for

Hello all, I am writing a "virtual cdplayer" application, that plays tracks from my cd backups, which are stored as a .flac file and a cdrwin style .cue file. Anyway enough of that, onto the problem.. I wish to use C++ for my program, but when I try to compile it with g++ I get the following types of errors: /home/dave/development/splitimg/splitimg.cpp:153: undefined reference to

Hi guys, Thanks Matt for your prompt response about the C++ problem, its working great now! Again for my "virtual cdplayer", I am wondering if its possible to stop decoding within a large file, at the end of an exact sample? ie. I wish to play a song in the middle of a flac'd cd. Using the file decoder, I can seek to the start of the track(index 01 of the cds TOC), but I then want

I have a habtm relationship like the following: Automobile <--> Options What I want to do is when an option is deleted, make sure that there are no Automobiles that still have that option. It seems simple enough, but I am having a tough time with it. I believe Rails automagically deletes the relationships when the automobile is deleted, but not the other way around. Any help would

Quazgaa and I were talking about the comment tags we'd like in oggenc. Here, as requested by Michael, is the summary. Date (year in id3 land) should be supported. We suggest '-y | --date'. I suggested '%y' for passing it to the filename template, but this may be of limited utility. Track number. -n was the first choice, but is taken by the name template. We settled on

Alright. So, the tag proposal that has been labored over for some months has now been reclassified a bit. There new URL is now here: http://reactor-core.org/ogg-tag-recommendations.html And is prefaced by the following statement: "The following recommendations were developed by a community of Ogg/Vorbis users for their own use." I believe the implication is that this document

Is there any way to put a newline character in comments for ogg vorbis files in Linux? I can't see any way of doing it with vorbiscomment. Easytag would work, but has other problems (like concatenating comment fields with the same tag name).

Hi, I'm wondering: If you have audio files like foo1.ogg and foo1.mp3, and the Vorbis file has nice comments (title, tracknumber, artist, album, date, etc), is there a tool to copy the information to an MP3 file on a "best effort" strategy? I know that MP3 TAGs are quite limited regarding lengths. Regards, Ulrich
