similar to: FLAC to mp3 batch converter?

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 Christian, There is a perl script called rip (rip.sourceforge.net) that I was looking to alter for a similar requirment (flacs at home -> mp3s on laptop). I patched flac support into it for the encoder a couple of months ago. At the moment it uses cdparanoia to rip from CD but should not be hard to add flac as an alternative 'ripper' to make wavs and then you can use the encoder

Here's an extremely quick-and-dirty Perl script I wrote to do just that. This script depends on having the MP3::Info Perl module for ID3 tag information, and assumes that you have lame set up. It will take a flac file (or a wildcard) as an argument, decompress that file, and encode it as a fairly high-bitrate VBR MP3. I want to stress that this is just something I wrote for my needs, so

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

hi, this is way off topic, but maybe someone can help... i'm looking for a script or prog that gives me info on a mp3-file, like what mpg123 shows when starting up plus some tech details like size, time, frequency etc. i've tried perl-MP3-Info, but it doesn't know about album, title, artist etc. i want to use it for fetching as much info as possible from a file into a database. any

Hello everyone, ff123 compiled Monty's branch of the RC1 encoder, see his post on r3mix.net forum: http://66.96.216.160/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=c&action=display&num=994299736&start=30 Anyway it only supports ~128kbps mode, so I did a quick listening test with some files that bugged vorbis beta4. grace.wav - the right channel is still a bit watery, and I think this can be seen

Howdy folks, currently i am using a cygwin32 build of all tools on NT here at work. most of my cd's are ripped to ogg files, but my mp3diskman is.. well an mp3 player. (http://www.soul.com.hk Its a nice player!) i use: ogg123.exe -d raw -f - "filename.ogg" | lame --r3mix -r - filename.mp3 Is there a better way of doing this, for instance passing the tags through as well? I am

So before i knew better, i encoded a lot of my CDs in flac and added id3 tags (they worked, so great!). I know i've seen mention of others doing this; anyone gone to the trouble to write a tag conversion tool? Shouldn't be too tough, but i'd rather not reinvent the wheel. danno -- dan pritts danno@umich.edu 734-929-9770

What is the best way to add song metadata (artist, album, title, etc.) to flac files? I want to be able to define an arbitrary number of FIELD=value pairs. Earlier I heard someone mention using id3 tags. I tried this with the command-line "id3v2", and while it seemed to work I noticed that the resulting file no longer began with "fLaC", which violates the format

Hello. I'm running the swfdec-extract tool built from the 0.6.0 source tarball under gentoo and I'm finding that it's not able to rip the MP3s from the SWF file. I'm getting this: SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_codec_gst.c(269): swfdec_gst_decoder_init: failed to create decoder It manages to save the file as a WAV file, but I'd prefer the MP3 to get at the ID3 info in the file.

Hi there, I had read somewhere that theora also has metadata stuff like id3 tags does for .mp3 . If yes, Is there a link where I can read more about the same? Also are there any end-user tools (GUI-based) which can do this ? If yes, links of those as well. Looking forward to hearing more on that. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal My quotes in this email licensed under

I mentioned sub-tagging in an earlier post. Here's a more in-depth mail on what i thought of. One of the debates going on here are whether ARTIST is worthy of life. Another is whether the average user will bother filling in the detailed info Jonathan wants. Of course, all tags are optional, but nevertheless we should have a tagging-system that pleases _the_users_, that is, everybody: 1.

Hello, I heard from a coworker that there was something that changed recently with FLAC and ID3. I don't have ANY details on what that means, and was wondering what has changed. The only thing I see (in the changelog) is that plugins have removed support for ID3 tags. I'm curious because I have been using ID3 tags with FLAC (I store extra data such as album art with my media files,

Hello -- I desperately want to start using Ogg compression on music I release on the internet, but I am encountering a fair amount of artifacts. I noticed some in beta4 and was hoping they would disappear with RC1. However, I've been playing with RC2 and I've still been banging my head into a number of problems. A majority of the music I make has long drones with a fair amount of spectral

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

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
