This is how to scan a playlist in foobar: 1) create "HDCD-Scan.bat" in HDCD.EXE folder
2) use this code for the batch file: "(*path*)\hdcd.exe" -a -x %1 2> %2 SET /p HDCD= < %2 if "%HDCD%"=="HDCD Detected" echo %2 >> hdcd.log SET HDCD= 3) create custom converter setting in foobar (preferences/tools/converter): encoder: (*path*)\HDCD-Scan.bat extension: tmp parameters: %s %d format: lossless type anything in the display info fields 4) goto preferences/tools/converter again and set outputfilenames/singletracks to "%list_index%" (you could also use the track name here, but this way the hdcd-files are easy to spot by their playlist-number) 5) create playlist of the files to scan (e.g. all lossless files of your media library) 6) mark all files, right click on them and choose convert/covert to... 7) choose the encoding preset you created and click ok 8) select an empty folder (create one if you haven't done that yet) and click ok Browse to the folder you have chosen: there will be a .tmp file for each scanned file which includes the scan report of hdcd.exe and a hdcd.log The hdcd.log lists every file which has hdcd-information. If you made your settings according to step 4, you can now spot the hdcd-files in the foobar playlist by their playlistnumber and convert them with a hdcd-converter-profile: The number in hdcd.log will be the same as in the foobar playlist. Now you can delete the tmp-files or the whole folder. I hope this will help you. It sounds complicated but it's very simple. Doing the HDCD-Scan this way may be a little bit odd, but it's very comfortable. -- arne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11557 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
