similar to: [Flac-users] Compression of single-file CD image

I've just started to archive my CD collection (about 800 CDs), and my criteria are pretty much the same as the original message under this subject, except that I'm doing one file per CD. One file per song is just too much of a pain, and there's really no need, given FLAC's ability to have metadata in the file. The first thing I do is run cd-discid against the cd, and store that

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

I suppose the ideal would be to have a metadata block to store the subcode from a CD, and something that could interpret it as CD-TEXT, if that's what it is. Then it would be possible to

I see that this was the right place to fire off this question. Thanks for your feedback. It has given me a base to start some trials. I used to use EAC on Windows, but I tend to only use open source software as much as possible and I don't use Windows any more. I gave a brief look at abcde, but it is clear I need to look at this some more. It looks like it has the potential to do everything I

I realize this was an answer to someone else, but... I use Trader's Little Helper for all my encoding/decoding projects (for FLAC mostly). does this automatically do more than just the tracks? If not, how can I get the rest? - - Audio data prior to the start of track 1 (and possibly after the end of the 'last' track, depending on the disc layout) - - Sub-code index information -

Greetings, I really love the one flac per cd idea. So, I pulled all my cds out of storage to re-encode them. I've run into a couple of general issues here: I've done some comparisons between eac under windows, and cdrdao under linux. It seems that after converting the cdrdao data to .wav, both programs result in perfectly identical .wav files for the 3 cds I tested. However,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to use flac to make backups of my CD collection, and am running into problems with disks that contain a pregap (or lead-in) before the start of track one. cdrdao rips these disks *WITHOUT* the pregap, and puts a PREGAP entry into the cue file. For my test CD (Police, Synchronicity, catalog# 0082839373524) I get (in part): TRACK 01

On a related note, are there any tools which can read the Index information from a CD and preserve these in some file for later recreation? The actual TOC on a CD has very little information: just the Absolute Start Time of each Track. Is there any documentation of the "TOC" file format that is commonly used? I do not recall coming across anything. Obviously, I am also

Hi ! (sorry for my english but I hope you understand what i mean :) ) Does CD-Record programms works with wine ? Can i use CloneCD and WinOnCD with it ? I have a windows PC only to burn CD's here and i want to do it with linux For "normal" things i can use cdrecord but i cant copy all cd's with it, sometimes i need clonecd and WinOnCD is better for CD-Text than the GUI's

This must be possible; not sure how to do it yet. :) After facing the thought of going through my cd collection for a 3rd time for re-encoding, it occurred to me that I should just flac the whole CD and add a cue sheet, and then back up to DVDs. That way -next- time I need to re-encode to any format, I can handle ~1/20th the discs, compared to my whole cd collection. :) Wondering if

I discovered FLAC earlier this year, and wrote flac-archive to archive my CDs to single FLAC files. I've been archiving my collection for months now, and have gotten it to a reasonable level of stability and robustness. I recently looked over this list's archive and saw a number of questions about doing this, with no clear solution emerging. So, here i am to offer my meager tools.

Would it be a better ripping technique to read the CD as an image, rather than ripping audio? >>> Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se> 08/30/02 07:15a.m. >>> > > Is it possible to use flac on a CD audio image (e.g. on the .bin file > > of a > > cdrdao .bin + cue-file setup)? > > probably not.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The recent discussions about archiving CDs with flac prodded me to get abcde working again. I've filed a debian bug report with patches to the latest abcde that enable generating a toc file from the disc with cdrdao (rips CD-TEXT data and creates index points from subcode data). Combined with my patches to toc2cue, this is enough to rip even

Can you do this? I have not found the options to get this to happen. So far I have seen how to read the Audio CD and make a directory of WAV files with a control file for later burning to CD, but I want an iso image that I can archive and burn audio CDs to use as they get used up.
