New version 0.7. See first post.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=250855"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

The link in the first post (BTW, check the wording: "dowload") still points to 0.6

I also suggest that this thread topic would be changed by a moderator to "Flacattack new versions announce" or something like that, removing the reference to the 0.6 version


Cheers

I'm not too sure how to use metaflac, haven't played with it, but I'll see what I can find out

I got some little problems, maybe you can help me

1. Although i've typed in that the filename scheme should be "%tracknumber. %title" al files are named after "%tracknumber - %artist - %title"

2. In the cue the endings aren't changed into .flac

3. .log and .cue aren't moved

Here's the FLAC_INFO-part of my flacattack.ini

Code: [Select]

[FLAC_INFO]
 EXE = "C:\FLAC\flac.exe"
 OPTIONS = "-5"
 PATH = "F:\Audio\%artist\%date - %album\"
 FILENAME = "%tracknumber. %title"
 FILETYPE = individual
 SINGLEFILE = n

 

All other features excepting MATCH_EAC and MOVE are turned off

Two problems.

1. I can't get flacattack to work with single file mode. I have things setup properly, I think. I create my cue sheet, I accept the default placement (is that right? yes? no?), then go mp3. Then I just have wav files  That's not exactly true, I have the directories, but no compressed flacs in them, no movement of the log file, etc.

Oh, and I'm using the default string as from the flacattack webpage.

Here's my ini file. At least the parts that have a y in them. Can you see anything I'm just missing because I've been up too long?

Code: [Select]

[FLAC_INFO]
 EXE = "C:\program files\flac\flac.exe"
 OPTIONS = "-8"
 PATH = "H:\rip\%artist\%date - %album\"
 FILENAME = "%tracknumber - %artist - %album"
 FILETYPE = individual
 SINGLEFILE = n

; LOG => whether or not to embed the log in the flac image file, valid values are y/n
; EXE => full path to the tag executable
[TAG_INFO]
 CUE = n 
 LOG = n 
 EXE = "C:\program files\tag\tag.exe"

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[METAFLAC_INFO]
 USE = y 
 EXE = "C:\program files\flac\metaflac.exe"
 OPTIONS = "--add-replay-gain"
; MOVE => whether or not to move the log to the directory chosen in PATH in the [FLAC_INFO] section
;    The file is deleted if this is set to "n", valid values are y/n
[LOG_INFO]
 MOVE = y

2. If you are using replaygain in single file mode are you applying track gain or album gain?

I'm trying to multiple files. Mainly so I can have album gain in the multiple flacs and also because just using multiple flacs with standard tags seems like it will be supported better.

I see the attraction of the single image files - it's just more...Hrm... Elegant? I just like the compliance idea for when I pick up a squeezebox or if foobar isn't around in year X, etc.

Also, is the the right thread for such discussions? If not, I will edit and create a new thread. Thanks.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I'm finishing up school and haven't had much free time to work on Flacattack.

I will be working on a gui that will help with setting up the ini file (actually that part is done) and I am rewriting the code in C# so that I don't have to depend on priadoblender. I'll try get out any requests made to this point in the next version, but I can't make any promises of when that will be.

Also, I'm moving and won't be able to have my webserver set up for a while. Does anybody know of a free service that:

1. Supports PHP and MySQL?
2. Will let me use my domain name?

I've done a Google search but couldn't find much.

Finals must be fun. I sure don't miss that.

Pretty ambitious upgrades. Do you think the upgrade will allow spaces in the directories? I'd love that...

Google provides: http://www.oinko.net/freephp/ - as for using your domain name, if any of these guys don't let you, just transfer your DNS to zoneedit, then use forwarding and masking.

Here are two that had free in the name if you don't want to go through the list.
http://www.50free.com/
http://www.thefreeserver.com/

I doubt they'll be reliable, but it's better than nothing.

I don't have experience with any of them.

The seeking is much more responsive for a straight FLAC file than it is for FLAC wrapped in a matroska container.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=250869"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

The download link doesn't seem to be working. Can someone send me a copy?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=260919"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

If anyone knows how to fix these issues [which are probably interrelated anyways] I'd love to know.  The seeking is much more responsive for a straight FLAC file than it is for FLAC wrapped in a matroska container.  I just wish jcoalson would add some real support for internal cuesheets.  I've heard his argument for the current implementation, but I just don't agree with it, as it's very much castrated.

If the author of FLACattack would turn to us for help, we could certainly fix that together. Seeking in MKA is normally much faster than in any other container we know of, for several good reasons .....

Great program, i'm really liking it.
Can more than one copy be open at a time? I have 2 cd drives so i'd like to rip from both at once, it doesn't seem to work, I got a couple stack overflow errors from it, I think. Maybe I should install a second copy of EAC and flacattack?
What should the options under EAC Options>Tools>On Extraction Start External Compressors Queued in Background/Threads and Do Not Open External Compressor Window be set to?
Thanks again for a great tool.

Also how about an overwrite option? I've had a couple cds i've had to re-rip a couple times

I apologize if these issues have been raised, but I didn't see them anywhere.

1) flacattack doesn't seem to properly send multiple command line options to some apps. For example, if I put the following in my .ini file:
...
[FLAC_INFO]
EXE = "C:\FLAC\flac.exe"
OPTIONS = "-8 -V"
...

FLAC will give me errors when it starts up and won't encode the flac file (It gives "invalid option" errors and exits)

I have to do the following:
...
[FLAC_INFO]
EXE = "C:\FLAC\flac.exe"
OPTIONS = "-8V"
...

This makes it impossible to send the command line options beginning with "--" because they can't be added as part of the same flag.

Also, when I try to send multiple command line options to mp3gain, it doesn't appear to read them.  I had the following in my .ini file:

...
[MP3GAIN_INFO]
USE = y
EXE = "C:\PROGRA~1\MP3Gain\mp3gain.exe"
OPTIONS = "/a /k"
...

but when mp3gain runs, it always asks about whether I want to clip certain files. It is my understanding that the /k option should reduce the gain so it will not clip. So it seems it isn't receiving the /k option from flacattack when it runs. Also, I don't think it's possible to send multiple options to mp3gain under the same flag, the way it is with FLAC (i.e., you can't do "/ak" or something similar).

This is strange because lame seems to receive multiple command line arguments from flacattack without any problem... although I haven't really looked into whether it really is seeing all the arguments I'm trying to send it.

2) (less important): flacattack still prints version 0.6 when it starts up, although I downloaded version 0.7 from http://ponchorage.glwb.info/flacattack/download.php
and I believe the link pointing to the newest version at the beginning of this thread is broken.
