similar to: Re: FLAC to mp3 batch converter?

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

I'm just wondering if someone wrote a perl script to convert a directory with flac files into mp3 and preserving the id3 tag from flac to mp3? I have two harddrives where I keep my favorite CDs in flac and others in mp3 but when I get tired of them, I move them into mp3 and rather than popping the original CD in, it might be easier to just convert from flac to mp3 directly. Please cc me on

Hi, I recently migrated from Windows to Linux. I´ve used Linux quite a bit in server-enviroments, but as a desktop I have very little experience. I am now looking for a tool to rip CD´s to Ogg with CDDA support. I´ve tried KonCD, but it lacks features and is abit buggy. Sure, I can use cdparanoia, rename the wav´s to the right names and then encode to ogg via oggenc. But since I use X 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

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

Hi, I was hoping somebody could answer me this question:. I'm looking for the best audio CD ripper software, maybe somebody can tell me what you think is the best ripper available? The operating system it runs on is not important, I just want to know what's considered the best audio cd ripping software. In this way I want to make perfect input WAV files for the FLAC encoder. thanks in

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

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

Hi all, It has recently come to my attention that the linux "file" utility reports some (but not all) of my flac files as having a mime type of "audio/mpeg". Obviously this is incorrect, but why is it reported as such? I've cut and paste a few commands below from my shell to illustrate what I'm seeing: black:/media/mildred/music/Tool/10,000 Days$ file -i *

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

I think the new web page is wonderful. However, one thing annoyed me. Some programs on 'Other Software Which Supports Ogg Vorbis' page at Vorbis.com seems to be bit problematic. As far as I know, at least two of them have not updated their plug-ins for a while. 1. 'CD-DA X-Tractor' vorbenc-20001018.zip as 'Latest released version of vorb_enc.dll' 2. 'Media

Hello- I've got some audio CDs that I'd like to use for MOH. What's the best way to do this? I don't care if it's mp3 or some other format - whatever will work best. What applications (osx or linux) are best? Optimal settings? Thanks- Tom

Hi, Bit late to join in the discussion but I've just read through the CD archiving discussion and was particular interested in Dax's method, described here (also included below): http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac/2006-September/000611.html So far I've just been flac-ing my CDs to individual one-flac-per-track files, however it appears I've been missing some of the other bits

Yes, this is sad. cdparanoia, which could be considered a strong opensource meatspace partner to FLAC (along with cdda2wav) is also effectively dead. All three living on only in the ports trees of various operating

Hi all ! I use cdparanaia for which I would like to get information. Does anyone know if there is a mailing list concerning this ripping application. In fact, I would like to know if cdparanoia can support scsi drive .... if someone can help me on this matter ... it is welcome. ;-) <p>Thanks for your help ! <p>Ce message contient des informations confidentielles ou appartenant

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 have a partly damaged CD, from which I extracted 192Kb/s Vorbis files a while ago (before it got damaged) and I'd like to get FLAC files. `cdparanoia' extracted most of the data from the CD, but there are some holes due to the damages. How could I fill those holes in my FLAC files using the Vorbis files? Stefan
