I'm pretty sure I posted this elsewhere but at the risk of repeating myself I took the SPDIF out of my DVD-A capable player and managed to get GarageBand to sample at 44.1 / 24 bits. I'm told that most DVD-A players down-sample the digital-out to protect the high res data stream from just this

+1 for DVD Audio Explorer. It is a very easy program to use and allows extraction of whatever audio files are available on DVDA. I spent a while last night ripping the stereo 24/96 files from the six DVDAs in the Doors box set, and the 24/192 from David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My

[SlimDevices: Ripping] Tagging on NAS vs. network file access

2009-07-03 Thread gjallarhorn
Hi, I wonder if mass tagging music files on my ReadyNAS with a perl script is faster than tagging over the network with a fancy click tool. Has anyone experience with perl tagging within squeezecenter? Before I spent a whole lot of effort in trying to find the right perl modules and installing

Robin Bowes' flac2mp3 script sounds like a great solution to maintain an mp3 mirror of my flac library, and after some experimentation, I have managed to get it to work on my PC running Windows XP (with ActivePerl 5.8.9, flac2mp3 v0.2.7) when the flac files are on the PC and I am outputting to

I re-ripped all my CDs and added nice cover art to them. But after scanning the complete library, a lot of albums have a black square as cover art. All my songs are .flac files with cover art included for each song. The songs are grouped into folders for each album. In this folder there is also

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems to get me one step further but still not yet far enough. After assigning a drive letter to my music folder on the linux server, the script seems to recognize the files and start to process them,but gives the following error message for each file:
