Yup. It's how I archive my disks.

So what is your goal? Do you want a CD with tracks or a stack of files, one per track The flac is a free/open, top quality lossless audio format. Think MP3 but no patents and no loss when encoding. The cue file is at a mimimum a list of points. Each point in the beginning of a track. It can also include artist, track, perfomer, and othe CDTEXT data. A cue file can be used to "cut" the big file into smaller ones, or to tell the CD burn program where to put the track markers. I do this stuff only in Linux, so I'm clueless regarding the tools for other platform. shnsplit is what I use to slice the big file into smaller ones. Or Serge "ftrvxmtrx" Ziryukin's split2ogg.sh and split2flac.sh which splits and tags. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
