Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
I haven't got audaccity on this comp but I believe it can do this... just have to be very careful to set the export quality in the preferences to the correct bit depth and sample rate ... so that's a bit of a headache. I'm using CEP which makes it very easy, but not a free prog.
However I've found a simple (and somewhat slower) method... use flac frontend (flac.sourceforge.net), drop the aif file in, set compression to minimum (for speed), then convert to flac. clear flac frontend, then add the flac just created and hit 'decode'. it will give a proper wav file. the flac file that results from this can just be deleted, its just a stepping stone. I just tested this and it worked great with a 16bit/44.1kHz AIF file. 24bit should be no problem, either. maybe I can double-check that tomorrow just to be sure. also I gotta read the rest of this humungo thread!!

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
ps I'm assuming that GRC is on PC since he mentions using EAC.
shit, I have to read this thread ... where is GRC getting AIF files from on a PC, I wonder?? Everything I use on my PC is WAV unless I go out of my way to make AIF because somebody wants it for their mac.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
The data CDs his Alesis Masterlink burns are in .aif format. The stacks of CDs will eventually cost more than a bit accurate sound card from someone like M-Audio, though. The Alesis has a coax out, but no USB or firewire.

I'm on a PC - right now. All will be revealed regarding the source of the AIFs when you 'start from the very beginning; a very good place to start' ..... Regards, Graham No members have liked this post.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
okay, I'm reading along now...
just put the aif files in flac frontend without renaming and set the compression level to 8, verify enabled, align on sector boundaries enabled. all the other checkboxes should be empty (disabled). then hit 'encode' and bob's yer uncle.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
Just as well, 'cos I'm finding my command line skills with shntool are VERY rusty .....
"CD T:\torrent data files" is a valid 'change directory' command, isn't it ...? Regards, Graham No members have liked this post.

Graham, for the sake of simplicity try flac frontend to go aif>flac
then use tlh on the resulting flac set after that for len check, fingerprints etc etc tlh doesn't support aif but flac frontend does.

Re: Recommendations for ripping 16-bit and 24-bit to flac
Well, that was easy! Import to Audacity, and export as .wav !!!!
Just need to upload the wav converted to flac and see who can play it, now! Regards, Graham No members have liked this post.
