similar to: Wanted: Ripper that uses ID3V2 and FLAC

Lo and behold, the new version of grip (http://www.nostatic.org/grip) has ID3V2 support. I want to be able to rip from grip, extract the data from the FLACs into WAVs, normalize the WAVs, then re-encode them into FLACs. How can I make sure the ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags stored by grip are saved in between the FLACs? What shell commands can I use to store the tags in a temp file? Thanks for

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

I tagged some FLAC files with ID3V2 information (by the id3v2 program), but their metadata does not show up in XMMS. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution? (I tested the tags using the --list option of id3v2; they are there. XMMS and the FLAC plugin just don't seem to respect them.) -- Asheesh.

this is a little off-topic, but 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

I've been using FLAC for just over two years now, and I've been on the list for as long. I asked in March of 2001 about ID3 V1 and V2, and learned that both are supported. However, since then FLAC has moved to being an Ogg project, and the Vorbis comment field seems to be more capable. More than once, if I recall correctly, I've read Josh Coalson cursing his support for ID3 tags.

Hi, I just had a problem that is not described in the faq and it was quite hard to find the right fix so I wanted to send it here, hoping it will be added to the faq. The error message is the same as in: http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200210/0073.html Warning: Hole in data found at approximate offset 5238000 bytes. Corrupted ogg. In this case it was caused by id3tags added by grip.

I have been following flac development for some time now, but with the release of 1.0.4 I thought I would finally start the task of encoding my entire cd collection into flac format. After looking through the list archives and the webpage I still have a few unanswered questions. 1. What is the best method tagging method to use? Josh mentioned that id3v1 was preferred over id3v2 since it

So I've just ripped my entire 600 CD collection to flac format (200gigs worth) with vorbis comments in the flac metadata. But my gripe is that neither Winamp nor XMMS's flac plug-ins seem to have the ability to read the vorbis comment from the metadata. Are there any flac players for windoze or linux that can access the metadata? Or do i have to add redundant ID3 tags to all my flac

Hi Josh, I found id3v2 didn't work on v1.1.0. I checked source codes, macros- (in such cases as FLAC_HAVE_ID3LIB) ware moved to config.h. That is good. But the place to do include is the after of #ifdef FLAC_HAVE_ID3LIB. The result of configure script isn't reflected. And it doesn't always have id3lib with this. Move place of 'include "config.h"' to the top. I

hey, as far as ogg option goes, am i correct to assume that it is only usefull so that you can use anything that supports ogg to play the files on another note, how can i add id3v2 tags to native flac files? is there are command line player for flac? thanx for the help. ben

if your talking id3v1, something along the lines of (in bash): for f in *.flac ; do tail -c 128 $f > tag && flac-0.8 -d $f ${f%*.flac}.wav && flac-0.9 -V ${f%*.flac}.wav $f && cat tag >> $f ; done should work. of course, test it before you set it loose on your whole collection. if you're on windows, my condolences... no wait, just get cygwin :) Josh ---

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

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!

Hi all, I have uploaded a source tarball to sourceforge for testing. See the news item in the HTML docs for the changes (or look here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/flac/flac/doc/html/news.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html ) Download here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.0.5_beta1.tar.gz?download The standard test of 'configure &&

The RFC says <http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3501.txt> this: TEXT <string> Messages that contain the specified string in the header or body of the message. But with the current hg tip (see linked rawlogs), SEARCH TEXT provides results disjoint from SEARCH FROM. I guess that's a bug?

I just tried out 1.0beta7 and erased all my indexes and with fts and fts_squat enabled, and when I SEARCH TEXT in Dovecot, it does *not* find messages where the thing I SEARCH for appear only in the From: header. Timo, can you confirm or deny that you still see this behavior? I did clear my indexes before doing it. -- Asheesh. -- Man is the measure of all things. -- Protagoras
