Oh boy. How annoying (after 530 CDs ripped)! Oh well. Thanks for the explanation. I'm now playing with your perl script after installing Active Perl on my Windows XP system. After some fun and games working out how to escape special characters in a Perl string constant (so that I could edit in the full pathnames for Flac and Lame) I now have it running in the background on a subset of my collection. I just checked the tagging on the first few files and it's done them perfectly. Well, almost perfectly.... There is one tiny flaw in the transcription of the tags from my FLAC to mp3 files. The Track tag on my FLAC files is "1" (for instance) and this ends up as "01" on the corresponding mp3 file. This really is no biggie but I thought I'd mention it since it is the only thing I can see wrong. Before I let it rip on my entire collection I have a small question. Your readme says: <Begin Quote> It can take a directory structure like this: lossless | +--Coldplay | | | +--Parachutes | | | +-- 01 - Don't Panic.flac | 02 - Shiver.flac +--The Chameleons | +Script of the Bridge | +-- 01 - Don't Fall.flac 02 - Here Today.flac <End Quote> Is it tollerant of other directory structures? My Flac directory structure has an extra level in there, i.e.: ...\Artists_C\Coldplay\Parachutes\<Tracks> Will this upset your script or will it recurse (or otherwise) down through the Artist_? directories and create them as required in the destination tree? - Julian -- JulianL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JulianL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16240 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
