merry christmas everybody. i've recently begun working on a project to load my cds and i must say single file flac-as-a-cd-container with an embedded cuesheet is brilliant. So i figured no problem. rip, single file flac and then its just a matter of playlists and such... a nobrainer... but i keep getting stuck.
ok, so what i set out to do is simple. read cds into either pcm or lossless compression. but i want it to play nice with playlists (by selecting song/album names). also would like to take a defined playlist and convert to lossy format flavor of the month for portables. would also like to have a small computer integrated into home theater system so i can do digital audio out and IR remote control. (playstation2 seems ideal except for the cost of linux). ok, so nothing new, but i'm trying to do a good job, so i have a plextor drive and so far i've only found one ripper that supports the plextor perfect audio extraction - cdrdao driver=plextor-scan. can't beat it. you do 2 consecutive rips and md5sum's are the same. this means i'm stuck with toc files and toc2cue seems a bit orphaned. it created zero length cue files so i put a out.close(); in the appropriate place and now it works, but the cue file seems kind of minimal. i would prefer to transfer all the info to the flac file if possible. is there a cuesheet syntax document someplace? so next task is to add song titles and such. (assuming single flac-as-cd-container with embedded cuesheet), I looked all over and I can't find anything which discusses vorbis comments where file is not 1-to-1 with track. I read a little bit of xmms flac plugin trying to see how it parses flac files but i didn't see anything. is it supported at all? i would also be interested if anybody has any favorite playlist editors which can deal with flac-as-cd-container and then batch encode to lossy. (if everything works under linux that would be ideal). sorry for all the basic questions, but i'm willing to do a little bit of plumbing to get this to fly. i just need to understand how it should work... if you got this far, thank you for reading my diatribe :) jason ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
