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

I think whatever provides cdrdao also provides toc2cue which will convert. one of the flac TODOs is to take cdrdao toc files as input.

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

I have read some posts about using FLAC to archive CD collections and would like to get some feedback. I am torn between creating a bin and cue file with CDDB info and compressing that down with FLAC as a single file or the second method of ripping all the files out to wav and converting to FLAC and maybe saving the cue file in attempt to use it later. The first method I believe will pretty much

-----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

I just uploaded a new FLAC FAQ: http://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html Let me know if I forgot any common questions. Josh __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com

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

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

Are you sure you're not confusing TOC and CUE here? If the TOC file was

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.

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.

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,

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
