Re: FLAC Frontend

The official Monkey's Audio software does not have Mac support, but like I said, I know Lynne's told me that she's able to work with APE files using xACT and at least one other third party software whose name escapes me right now. It was with her blessing, and a guarantee that Mac users did have a free solution to using APE files, that I wrote them into the policy as a legal seed format. I couldn't tell you what programs or how to use them, but I trust her statements that APE is good to go on Mac.....

I hear that! That was my number one argument at STG. But all I heard was not Mac friendly, and too slow, or the guy that wrote it doesn't have a good support forum, blah-blah.

Not too mention the cute little monkey in the app.

Monkey is my fave but when I post in that format I get 50 posts saying "what is this?" "I can't make it work!" "waaa waaaa waaaa" so I just seed FLAC now.

Re: FLAC Frontend

(resisting the temptation to diverge into ANOTHER FLAC/APE/SHUN thread)

I agree about the compression ratio, and I do archive a bunch of stuff in APE, but FLAC really does have them beat with the compression rate-independant decoding and the FLAC fingerprints.

If you put this in a batch file, the %f must become %%f in both occurrences.

If you leave out the --with-filename "%f", you get the fingerprints without the filenames.

I got this from the hydrogenaudio thread http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...howtopic=10773
..and in Linux:
Code:
for I in *.flac; do metaflac --show-md5sum --with-filename "$I" >> ffp.txt; done

... works for me.

You don't need --with-filename if you list more than one file on the command line. Any *nix shell should glob and produce all of the filenames on one line with the command line above. You should never have to use for loops to simulate globbing, as you have to in DOS.

Re: FLAC Frontend

ugh...been doing it the "hard way"..hehe...I didn't realize that'd work. (I found that when I encode to musepack (for *my own use*) that I needed the looping).

Good to see metaflac is smarter than that.

Thanks for the heads up.
