It's official: http://xiph.org/ogg/flac.html It's OK to keep submitting patches but I'm going to hold off on integrating anything until CVS is moved over. Note that codec code (libFLAC, libFLAC++, libOggFLAC, libOggFLAC++) will be covered under Xiph's BSD-like license from here on out.

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

I have been using Apple's X11 on OS X and I got the source and compiled flac 1.0.5 beta2. Everything seemed to build and install OK, but the xmms-flac plugin is not working, and I cannot open xmms. I get the following error when I launch xmms from xterm: brian it's 8:41pm, what now? xmms & [1] 567 brian it's 8:41pm, what now? dyld: xmms Undefined symbols:

I have just released a source distribution which is the candidate for the 1.0.3 release. At this time I would ask anyone who is willing to help test it to do the following: 1. download the tarball and unzip it: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.0.3_beta-src.tar.gz?download 2. do ./configure && make && make check This will build all code and run all the tests.

Well, I'm quite frankly stumped. I'm writing a program that recurses into directories and reads (among others) FLAC files and should be able to read the vorbis comments ARTIST and TITLE from the file. A while back, I was popen()ing to metaflac, because I didn't want to mess with libFLAC. But now, it's the weekend, so I can mess around with this. Here's the code in question:

As far as I can tell I've found a serious bug in the command line flac encoder :( I have created many hundreds of flac files and I was very annoyed to discover that the XMMS flac plug-in had intolerably long seek times, but since that had been mentioned on this list a bunch of times without anyone actually investigating, I thought I had better actually find the BUG which causes this. 1.

Greetings all.. I'm sending this message out here because I suspect that some folks involved in this project might be interested in the following. If this is not the case (or this is not an appropriate forum for this sort of thing) I apologize in advance..

For the interested, the Phatbox (a car audio system) now has firmware to support FLAC files. I have a news bullet on the FLAC site: http://flac.sourceforge.net/news.html#20020213 This is the first hardware support for FLAC (more is coming) and I think the first support of any non-proprietary lossless audio format for any hardware. Kudos to Phatnoise for taking the lead. Josh

Thanks for the quick response on the C++ thing. It would also be nice if the host program could correctly write the STREAMINFO block in the stream encoder metadata callback without having to know the specifics of the header format (or worry about endianness). How exactly to achieve this might take some thought, but what about this idea: 1. The correct way to respond to the metadata callback:

Hello FLACers, I'm working on implementing FLAC support for Audacity, a cross-platform audio editor (audacity.sourceforge.net). We're experimenting with using FLAC as the internal data representation. Unfortunately, the FLAC headers cannot be used in C++ programs because of the use of 'private' and 'protected' as variable names in stream_decoder.h, stream_encoder.h, and

it actually is complicated. the libFLAC api is not suited to a multithreaded design because the i/o is stream-based, not file- based. flac(.exe) is the file-based wrapper around libFLAC that allows it to work on files. the way libFLAC buffers data is also impossible to parallelize without significantly changing the api. it would take a specialty file-based encoder using an independent frame
