[SlimDevices: Ripping] FLAC+CUE: extracts from larger album

2015-11-23 Thread cdmackay
hi all, I've ripped one of those multi-CD sets, which consist of more than one album per CD. That results in a single FLAC+CUE, for e.g. two albums. I'm trying to use separate CUE files (pointing to the single FLAC file), in separate directories, to encourage LMS to present them as two separate

The long winded way will still be accurate. Each track can be checked with AR at first ripping stage. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Of

one of the reasons for me going with full-album FLAC was to get a proper clone of the original, preserving inter-gap tracks, etc. thanks for all the comments :) cdmackay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?

ok, thanks - I hadn't realised that. I had read (somewhere) that the only way to correctly preserve gaps, and also e.g have seamless track changing, was to have a single FLAC per album. I take it that this is incorrect? I use XLD (on Mac) for ripping, which I think gives the impression that sing

OK, interesting, thanks. I need to look into this more. My FLAC files are played solely by squeezeboxserver. XLD does use the AR database for rip verification - it was one of the reasons I chose to use it. cdmackay's Profi

I rip to single file with embedded tags, including cuesheet and artwork. I would guess that if you put an ALBUM= tag in the Vorbiscomment stanza for each track, the server might then properly "divide" the file into two albums. I need to try this on some of those old Capitol "twofer" discs :) C

Hi, with foobar2000, you can read in the single flac file with cuesheet and convert it to single flacfiles. Very comfortable.But foobar is windows only, sorry. Today, there is definitively no need for cuesheets anymore. Greets Chris ---
