TAudioConverter is using FOREVER to make the final log files after successfull conversion of several files. Converted maybe 30 FLACS to MP3, creating logs took maybe 4 minutes alone.

"--verbose" command which made lame to output lots of data to console was passed. I replaced it with "--nohist" so now not only necessary info is written but also it is easier for TAC to parse Lame's progress.
Here is fixed exe for installer version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9617171/TAudioConverter.7z


Thanks. I use portable, and will simply wait for next release.
Edit: Could you make it possible to disable logs? I don't use them for anything (except when something's wrong. Then i can turn them back on manually).

Great software. I use 0.8.2 a lot. I cannot use 0.8.3 because when I transcode large number high bit rate mp3's to medium to low bit rate aac (to reduce storage for certain limited storage devices), the program crashes every time after several hundred conversions. This is not an issue with 0.8.2. I use qacc to encode, but the other encoders I try also crash the program so I do not think it is the actual encoding process.

Has anyone else noticed this?

@henrikk this erro has been reported several times. I'll fix it with next release.

@eahm you can select "Loseless" as "Codec" under WMA options, eventhough WMA is listed under lossy codecs.

Kind of a bug. If you have specified a output folder on desktop, and the folder doesn't exist before you convert/extract, you must tap F5 (refresh desktop) to see the folder after conversion. Might be confusing to some users, took some time before i understood what was going on..

These exes include some changes. You can copy them over if you want to get fixes etc before the release.
Some important changes in these files:
Code: [Select]
-Added: Option to disable keeping encoder logs (thx to o-l-a-v)
-Added: Ability to convert to uncompressed aiff files (thx to eahm)
-Added: Temp. wav files will be deleted right after an encoding is done (thx to NappyHead)
-Fixed: Too long log save times when encoding to MP3 (Lame) (thx to o-l-a-v)
-Fixed: Mp3 (Lame) progress wasn't shown properly (thx to o-l-a-v)
-Fixed: "Invalid floating point operation" errors

Please confirm that fixed things are really fixed.

I can't get %discnumber% to work.

This is the tag I am using:
Output folder:
%artist%\%date% - %album%\Disc %discnumber%

Custom file name:
%tracknumber%. %title%

The source album is Pink Floyd - The Wall. Disc 1 and Disc 2 are already set in the album tags.

The result is always Disc _Lame or Disc _Qaac etc.

Conversion from AIFF looses all tags

I converted with QAAC, tvbr 70. The output tag "tool" shows
qaac 2.18, CoreAudioToolbox 7.9.8.2, AAC-LC Encoder, TVBR q73, Quality 96

I don't know if TAudioConverter ads 3 for TVBR value, or if the tag is just wrong.
Can you have a look at it?

@eahm about %disknumber%, when you look file info using "rigt-click to song in the list">"Info", can you see disc number info? I'm guessing it is not stored as disc number but as disc part or something similar since you have two discs in that album.

@eahm I see your point. There seems to be a DISCTOTAL tag field but there isn't a disc number one. As TAC's reading capacity is limited with what MediaInfo returns, I'm afraid there isn't much I can do until MediaInfo starts reading these tags. I remember reading some MediaInfo parameters related to this, I'll try to look into them.

One more thing, can you post an encoder log so I can see if FFMpeg can read these tags?

Reply #341
Thx eahm, it looks like mediainfo cannot get that tag whereas ffmpeg can. I'll try to fix it when I got time.

Any chance of getting cue+flac(1 file per album) support?

Keep up the great work

Hi,ozok

I hope Uncompressed FLAC.

What's the use of uncompressed flac? Wouldn't that be the same as saving the WAV?

This has been mentioned before. He said he'll add it sometime in future, but other functions and bug fixes is more important atm i guess

One user reported a bug and I can confirm it: If you enable a SoX effect, temp. wav files won't be deleted right after encoding but they will be deleted later for sure. I don't use those effects, so I missed it.

About cue sheets, I did some research about it when it was first mentioned here. I remember finding couple of libraries that extract information from cue files. However, them being not good enough (they didn't work on some files), I decided to write my own code. But that'll take some time and currently I don't have much time. The changes in the recent update were done a while ago so I could release it now.

I didn't even know uncompressed FLACs existed. I guess it'd be fairly simple to implement them if FLAC.exe can produce them. I guess point of them is to have PCM data while having better tag support.

Cheers.

But, again, why? If a program can read FLAC headers it can also recreate the original PCM data. OK, there might be some strange situations where you have lots of storage and network capacity, but extremely limited CPU power for decoding the FLAC, but I can't really think of a real-life example of that kind of a situation.
