josh, thanks for the feedback. now i can start encoding like mad knowing that the generated flac files are ok =) (flac -t said the files were ok, despite metaflac's complaints). i noticed that without the flac-for-winamp plug-in installed, winamp correctly displays the id3 filename (e.g. "Bjork - Human Behavior") in the playlist and also displays the id3 tags in the file

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

if there was a flac-users list i'd be asking these questions there, but anyway =) on windows, i've been using eac in secure mode and using "test & copy" to verify that the crc checksums match. invariably, i'll get one or two mismatches per album i rip, so i figure the checksum verification is a good thing despite the extra time. once i rip a cd, i want to forget

Exact Audio Copy 0.99b3 under Wine 0.9.51 on Kubuntu 7.10. It can see the audio CD in the drive, no problems, no fuss. What it can't do is contact FreeDB to get CD track names. Clicking the "FreeDB" button in EAC brings up http://www.freedb.org/ in Konqueror. So the problem isn't that FreeDB is down. When I run EAC from the command line, there's nothing showing up with a

I was wondering, is there a way to encode Oggs with EAC on-the-fly? I'm looking for a way to shorten the whole ripping and encoding process, but so far I've only seen support for the commandline encoder. -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

Hi. My first post over here related to my first try to use WINE. I am using 0.9.58 and the 2.6.24-rt kernel (Ubuntu Studio Hardy Beta) I installed EAC and almost everything works fine expect the ripping speed, which doesn't seem to be adjustable. The drive speed is not exceeding 2-3. I tried all kind of settings. Even setting the drive speed manually up with hdparm -E did not change it.

>I can see the other side of the arguement too tho, there may be many >players around now, and in the future that will add flac support, but >not flac-album support :( yes this would be my concern as well. also, individual track support is just more flexible for moving music around between devices. it's funny, i've been on-and-off trying to get the whole eac+flac+id3+cuesheet

Dear all, I am an active FLAC user and like the program a lot! Thanks for your great work. Since I am not a developer I cannot modify the program on my own. Maybe you might be interested in features I would find useful. Maybe others find them interesting as well and you find the time to implement them. 1. Add encoder options: a) Skip silence (leading and ending) would give the option to skip

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

Hello list! I'm trying to use EAC here with more or less success. I'm having problems with my CD-Rom. My Wine version is 0.9.10. I'm using ide-cd with kernel 2.6.16. So I tell EAC to use the "Native Win32 interface for Win NT/2000/XP" as SCSI interface. I believe that makes use of Wine's native ntdll.dll which in turn uses SG_IO which is what I want :) When starting

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

I've been with FLAC since 0.7, and I've loved the FLAC files I've ripped with grip, converted from FLAC 0.8 to 0.9, and played constantly on my desktop. And then I noticed the truncated ID3 tags in my FLAC files. I at first thought the problem lied in FLAC; I posted to this list, hoping for a solution. But then I realized my trusty GRIP was the flawed program. Now re-ripping my

there something fishy going on, have about 21 flac files, in a folder, and 9 of them still showing meta tag data in juk. When running metaflac --list, show nothing on all 21 files, however in amarok and juk I can still see some info on 9 flac files. Howdoes one fix these flac files? are they corrupted? flac -t came back ok on all Anyone ? Richard

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.

Hello all: I am using exactaudio copy (EAC) with wine on linux (suse 10.1) So far I had no problems with drive recognition. Recently I've attached another drive to the IDE 0 slave port and this drive is not recognized by EAC/wine. Here is my 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus' output: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) * 0,1,0 1) 'TEAC ' 'CD-W512EB '

Hello! I'm new here, so forgive in advance any ignorance if you will. I have two issues... One involved using flacattack.exe, and the other involves burning from cuesheets. Issue #1: --------- Any time I rip from EAC into flacattack.exe, and the disc being ripped includes various artists, flacattack.exe crashes on the second track. The error I get (from the DOS window that flacattack runs
