similar to: FLAC: getting compression level using metaflac

Why isn't the compression level added in a metadata block by the flac encoder itself (just like the encoder version)? In this way all programs that read the file can see what compression level was used. thx 2007/7/4, Scot Thompson <scot.thompson@cox.net>: > > This has been asked many times. The answer is no.

The compression level is really only just a convenient shortcut for humans to use when creating a flac file. The real values used during compression include Max LPC order, blocksize, Rice partition order (min,)max, exhaustive model search flag, and mid-side or Adaptive mid- side coding flags. As you can see, there are a lot of parameters and options, to the compression level just

strlen() returns the length excluding the terminating null byte..then an string of len 4 will be off-by-one in application_id[4]; GCC 4.7 detects this bug. --- src/metaflac/options.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/metaflac/options.c b/src/metaflac/options.c index eb3498d..2cb0959 100644 --- a/src/metaflac/options.c +++ b/src/metaflac/options.c @@

wow, that was a mighty keen eye - you must really have been looking at it (thanx!) - that is just a typo, the example just above and below that line still show that the issue i'm having exists. an easy test anyone can do is: metaflac --version metaflac --show-sample-rate c:/any.flac metaflac --show-sample-rate /cygdrive/c/any.flac On Dec 13, 2007 5:43 PM, Christopher Brown

Hi, I have read this on the sourceforge site: Windows wildcards support for FLAC and Metaflac *Private: (?)<javascript:help_window('/help/tracker.php?helpname=private')> * No The Linux shell support wildcards but not the Windows shell. Would it be possible to add wildcard support for Windows? Example with Windows: metaflac --add-replay-gain *.flac Gives the following error:

I mention metaflac because there are a few shell scripts that use it to write RG tags in a flac music library on Linux. With support for Ebu R128 gain in metaflac (the calculation according to specification, not an external program) it would be easy to use, just change the cmd line for metaflac in the script. Now that metaflac supports sample rates higher than 48kHz this would be a good thing in

Using metaflac (1.0.3) like this: metaflac file.flac --set-vc-field=title=test??????e? The vorbiscomment will not be UTF8-encoded, instead they will be stored directly as ANSI. When trying to add some more comment, it gave the following error: ERROR: writing FLAC file file.flac, error = FLAC__METADATA_CHAIN_STATUS_OK Does that mean that weren't enough room for the comments? But

Erik, I don't know what abcde would be providing as tags, or why on Earth it would be importing that from stdin. Unfortunately, abcde is a bash script, and so not exactly easy for me to read. I haven't gotten any response from posting on their mailing list. I do get the same crash when running metaflac without the --import-tags-from, so I'm not sure this is the problem. Unless

Hi List, I am writing an audio player that exclusively plays FLAC sound files, with CUE sheets. It is written in Python, so it is cross-platform, and it is working very well so far. The soundfile IO is handled by the Audiere library. For metadata (aside from the CUE sheet), I make system calls to metaflac to do things like extract album art for display, and I have a question concerning metaflac.

Hi, I realize that this is not strictly flac-related, but... I've got my collection in flac now, and at the end of the endeavor, I realized that (I think...) I've managed to have a few different encodings in the tags, one way or another. For instance: [root@localhost Zen Arcade]# metaflac --list 01-Something\ I\ Learned\ Today.flac > 1 [root@localhost Zen Arcade]# metaflac

-----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 all, I used metaflac to add replay-gain to a lot of flac-files. But with few of them metaflac exit and sais "Speicherzugriffsfehler" which I translate to "memory access error" or somethin like this. The problematic files has the same size like the other ones and I dont know why metaflac has a problem with them. I tested them with flac and the files seems to be ok. I use

Hi, Is it possible for you to compile flac/metaflac yourself? Then you'll only need to remove a few lines, namely these 4: https://github.com/xiph/flac/blob/28e4f0528c76b296c561e922ba67d43751990599/src/libFLAC/stream_decoder.c#L2118-L2121 and these 7: https://github.com/xiph/flac/blob/28e4f0528c76b296c561e922ba67d43751990599/src/libFLAC/stream_decoder.c#L2141-L2147 As you can see these lines

This is 1.3.1 on OpenBSD/amd64. The --no-utf8-convert option of metaflac(1) does not work for me: $ metaflac --no-utf8-convert --set-tag="Artist=?ou?l??ek" aladin.flac aladin.flac: ERROR: tag value for 'Artist' is not valid UTF-8 (You probably can't see the Czech letters properly in my mail, but that's beside the point.) Indeed, it is not valid UTF8 (it's LATIN2),

Hi, I modified the metaflac program to output in JSON format if the --output-json switch is used, and made a simple Go program to demonstrate use of the output. I imported the MIT licensed json-c library into src/share/json-c and put headers in include/share/json-c. For example, # metaflac --output-json --list myfile.flac example output: https://gist.github.com/waitman/847a8cae4a650a8898ee If

Erik, The command used by abcde is metaflac --no-utf8-convert --import-cuesheet-from=/home/me/Audio/abcde.50107806/cue-50107806.txt --import-tags-from=- /home/me/Audio/abcde.50107806/track1.flac but I get the same result re-trying without the --no-utf8-convert and -no-utf8-convert. Here's the cuesheet: PERFORMER "William Shakespeare" TITLE "A Midsummer

(Apologies if I'm in the wrong place for this...) I'm trying to use the abcde program to archive CDs to flac files. (Each CD to 1 file, and ultimately multi-disk performances to 1 file.) It extracts the audio to a .flac file and creates a cue sheet with track names & locations. However, when it tries to run metaflac with the --import-cuesheet-from option, it core dumps. I'm
