I'm still working on scripts to rip my CD collection to my server. I am seriously considering using flac as my tests show that it comes back to the same as the original WAV file and is about 50% smaller.
It looks like I can pipe the output of cdparanoia directly into flac and encode "on the fly". That simplifies things a bit.
I also understand that flac supports tagging. The manpage for metaflac is somewhat terse so I was wondering, what tags should I insert (metaflac commands would be helpful as I'm still new to this)? I'm using CDDB-get.pm to grab the CD data from freedb.org so I have the info, just need to know preferred format for placing it into the flac file after it's ripped.
No need to reinvent the wheel. If you're on Linux, try abcde (a better cd extractor). It already supports FLAC, among many other formats, and will automatically query the online database and add the tags for you.
I just used it to rip our entire CD library (1000+ disks) into FLAC for our slimserver.
