similar to: FLAC CD Archive

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

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 -

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

Hello, Here's a script i use to join multiple PCM source files and feed them to FLAC. In the future i plan to add tag support from static CDDB (files). It would be nice if this feature could be incorporated to the native encoder. Another idea is to have flac/metaflac support joining FLAC files themselves (but this is much heavier to implement) -- and may pose issues with meta info like

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

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,

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

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
