similar to: Converting to 1.1.4, help please!

My FLAC files reside on my Infrant NV (XRAID) and are also backed up on my PC and on an external USB HDD. That makes 3 copies. I've read most everything on the FLAC site, but as I have mentioned I don't know much about structuring a command line. My PC is also quite old (early P4 from 2000 w/256MB RAM) so I think it will take a LOT of time for this to run through over 1200 CDs worth of

If your files are that important, then you should make a complete backup before you change anything. After you have a backup, you can learn how to use the command line without worrying about mistakes. For that matter, copy a subset of your old files to a new directory, and try some of the commands.

I remember that thread but I can't remember if that command is exactly what you want. everyone has little differences in their situation that makes a general solution hard. this list is not really the place for shell tutorial, I highly recommend this book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bash3/ and if you're on windows, install http://cygwin.com/ otherwise, I think this comes up a lot on

Sorry I can't be of more help. You are at a significant disadvantage by operating on a PC. Of all the systems which can run flac, the PC is going to have the most crippled command line abilities. You could look at installing a shell which would handle wildcards ... or you could look into some of those batch files that you've found. I'm just pointing out that not everyone

I know it has been discussed in the past but not being a hard-core techie the instructions were not entirely clear to me. I have many GBs of FLAC files which I created using EAC and FLAC version 1.1.2 with FLAC Frontend. I personally ripped my entire CD collection of over 1200 discs so I really want to get this exactly right the first time. I want to convert them to version 1.1.4 but need

--Apologies if you get two copies of this message - it was submitted for moderation and hasn''t appeared on the list in two days, so I''m resubmitting. Hi all, Just a quick question. Is it possible to utilise an Apple Xserve RAID as an array for use with ZFS with RAID-Z in Solaris? I''ve seen various mentions of ''zfs'' and ''xserve

I have an original-label Infrant (now NetGear) ReadyNAS storage appliance that's been running for 8+ years. Except for replacing its power supply, it has not skipped a beat in all this time. I use it primarily as a backup device (via NFS) for a couple of Linux machines, (via SMB) for a couple of Windows PC's, and (via ftp) for web sites at my hosting provider. SMART+ reporting shows

Hello all, After setting up a Solaris 10 machine with ZFS as the new NFS server, I''m stumped by some serious performance problems. Here are the (admittedly long) details (also noted at http://www.netmeister.org/blog/): The machine in question is a dual-amd64 box with 2GB RAM and two broadcom gigabit NICs. The OS is Solaris 10 6/06 and the filesystem consists of a single zpool stripe

Apologies for the blank message (if it came through). I have heard here and there that there might be in development a plan to make it such that a raid-z can grow its "raid-z''ness" to accommodate a new disk added to it. Example: I have 4Disks in a raid-z[12] configuration. I am uncomfortably low on space, and would like to add a 5th disk. The idea is to pop in disk 5 and have

We _cannot_ go about renaming files, for a number of reasons.. the primary being some of the files are technically not ours to alter without a clients permission (names and all) and you don't understand just how many files there are. There are quite probably thousands of files, spread across _hundreds_ of cds and dvds which comes to a total of roughly 400GB. As to a Mac server, i'm not

Hi friends, I updated our old sparc Solaris 9 server running samba 2.2.8a to 3.6.15 so that Mac 10.7+ users could access this file server. However now we can't see files in folders that are links to NFS mounts from other servers. I can access folders/files that are links outside the share but local to the samba server, but for links to folders that are mounted to the server via NFS from

You're right it decodes to WAV then re-encodes.. it uses flac option "-w" (warnings as error) and checks for error return codes.. if an error occurs it restores the original file and reports the problem when it fnishes or you ^C the program.. After re-encoding it deletes the wav, reads the original FLAC's metadata blocks (minus streaminfo and seektable) and writes them to

Thanks Jud, I was able to re-encode my entire FLAC archive into 1.1.4, although on my slow computer (with all other apps closed) it took over 3 days to complete! Only one song returned an error and that was quite easy to fix. I did run into one issue though. I have a FLAC album in which the songs are all 24/96 and REFLAC fails when it runs. I want to re-encode them from compression level 5

Hey Jud, Thanks! I copied two of my FLAC folders (CDs) into a temp dir just to test it out and see if I could get it to run. I put the four unzipped files into the dir folder and opened a cmd window using the same options you suggested: "reflac -r -8 -nw -nb" It looks as though it first converts the files to WAV then re-encode them into FLAC 1.1.4 then deletes the WAV, correct? I was

"reflac" seems like a decent script for being absolutely certain about the conversion, but I can't help but think that it would run 5 times faster without the "flac -t" and also using a single flac re- encode without the intermediate WAV file. I haven't done this before, so I have no idea whether the metadata blocks would be preserved more easily without the

(I've already posted this message month ago, but nobody answered, may be it was not delivered to newsgroup?) Hello, All. I wrote an encoder-decoder based on example from OGG-Vorbis SDK. This encoder can encode a large amount of small WAV-files with equal parameters into one sound archive. Then I decode this sound archive back into large amount of small WAV-files. Theese files are

I am a total Ruby/RoR n00b having just started reading the ''Ruby on Rails Bible'' book two days ago. I''ve been trying to work out through the introductory ''Your first ruby on rails application'' section, but I''ve run into problems already! The book goes on about creating the view templates and naming them with the *.html.erb extension, but I get

Hi list this is actually a problem on a debian system but I thought you might be interested to hear of it and perhaps can offer some help. I have a woody box (dell pe750, dual cpu) running a kernel from backports.org (debian 'testing' packages built on a 'stable' box). The kernel version is 2.6.7-1.backports.org.1. This host is hooked up to an Apple Xserve RAID with a 2.3Tbyte

I''m building another 24-bay rackmount storage server, and I''m considering what drives to put in the bays. My chassis is a Supermicro SC846A, so the backplane supports SAS or SATA; my controllers are LSI3081E, again supporting SAS or SATA. Looking at drives, Seagate offers an enterprise (Constellation) 2TB 7200RPM drive in both SAS and SATA configurations; the SAS model offers

So, if I have a 50,000 flac files with perfect metadata encoded with <=1.1.2, I should... find . -type f -name "*.flac" -exec flac -8 {} \; -print And come back to my computer in about 24-48 hours? I've tested it on a small dir tree and it seemed to be fine. I just wanted to make sure though, before having to re-tag a couple terabytes of data. This is actually a serious
