similar to: FLAC CD Archive

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 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 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'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

-----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

Hi there, is there any specific reason for ignoring TITLE and PERFORMER info when importing CD-TEXT cuesheets into flac files? (These two fields have not always been used but they have become widely supported by now). One may answer that the preferred method for getting this kind of info for a cuesheet-flac would be CDDB, but CDDB info is not always reliable. In my opinion the goal "Now a CD

My vision of how the players should work is this: - make one album.flac with CUESHEET - player loads album.flac, sees CUESHEET, calculates CDDB id (or CDindex, or custom

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!

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 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 -

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

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.
