Aaargh, yeah that would not be acceptable. cliveb;537500 Wrote: > What's needed is to find some sort of front end > to FLAC that not only preserves the tags, but also allows you to > specify additional parameters on decode (ie. so you can add the > *--until=-4608* option). > > You can usually bank on Foobar2000 having some way of doing what you > want.

I don't have much experience with Foobar2000. I think CUETools may work, I have a question out over at HA. cliveb;537500 Wrote: > As far as I can tell, this option is relevant > only when you're using an encoder that introduces an offset (eg. some > dubious MP3 encoders might do that).

I'll make sure and uncheck that option. htrd;537693 Wrote: > If you cant find a solution that works in a single pass, you can > probably build something using --export-tags-to and --import-tags-from > options in metaflac. I'm dumber than a box of hammers when it comes to writing code, so I'll have to see if I can muddle through it now... -- SamS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77561 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
