Re: FLAC Frontend
Ah, I was down a little too far. I was in the extras section.
# FLACdrop, an Oggdrop-like frontend for Windows, or the even more versatile oggdropXPd. # FLAC frontend, a Windows GUI, or the even more versatile Multi frontend. # Frontah, a new frontend to many codecs, including FLAC. Still in beta but has good reviews. # MAREO is a "virtual" encoder that can be used with ExactAudioCopy to encode to multiple formats (including FLAC) at once while ripping.

With FLAC files, the "right" way to do it doesn't require shntool at all. Just take the fingerprint and record that into a xxxx.ffp.txt file for future reference. You can also use Frontend's "test" function to actually go ahead and check that checksum value against the contents of the tile to confirm that your files are not corrupted. I hope this makes a bit more sense.....

Re: FLAC Frontend
Yes, it does. Especially the part about saving some time by using flac frontend vs. shntool for checking it.

The only problem is whenever I try to drag and drop a shn file over to the app I get a runtime error, then the app closes. "Runtime error '5'; Invalid procedure call or argument" I can't quite make out what shntools is doing in the background, but it looks like it's saying something like, illegal helper program.

Re: FLAC Frontend
Not to be really picky Goat, but the name of the program is shntool, no s. That might confuse some people.
Anyway, thanks for the link. It looks interesting, but I tried this and couldn't get it to do anything either. Looks like this is something someone was playing with, and this version really shouldn't have been released . It doesn't work at all for anything other than shn, and when I do use an shn I get the same bad result you did.

Re: FLAC Frontend
Might have been for an old release of shntool.
Notice the lack of the "s". But the source code is there, and could be a start for writing a new code. Since this is open source anyone is free to use it right? No members have liked this post.

Re: FLAC Frontend
Well, the shntool source is indeed open a free to use, but under the GPL agreement. This means that if you take parts of it, you must refer anyone who uses the software to a link where they can access the original file and source code.
So technically, someone could take the individual functions and re-crete them in another standalone pacakge. It's just that no one has done this yet.

Re: FLAC Frontend
Also, here's part of an old post from STG cached @ Google:
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache...2menu%22&hl=en "If you have mkwAct installed, then right click on the folder you want to make the MD5 for and you'll see the option "Generate MD5 signatures". The MD5 will generate checksums for everything in the folder..." In other words, mkwACT has a windows context menu option installed which allows you to right-click a folder, then select the option to generate an md5 checksum file inside of that folder. I've been using this for at least a year now, and I think it did come with the mkwACT package I have (0.97 beta1), although I'm not sure if that's where I got it. No members have liked this post.

See: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...aq=md5#faq_ffp "Note: Wholefile md5 checksums are the type generated by programs such as mdsum, mkwact, and others. Please read on to understand why these are forbidden as the primary form of file verificaton at The Traders' Den." You might want to start getting away from mkwAct in any case as it has known issues in XP. I can't use it on mine with much reliability...If I need to do anything with mkwAct I have a 98SE system I move things to. ...the topic of how much longer will SHN be around could be a completely different thread...

Re: FLAC Frontend
Right...the mkw generated wholefile md5s are pretty useless. I like that option for DVD seeds, but for lossless audio trading it's just not practical to use that.
