When I re-ripped all my CDs to Flac, I used dbPowerAmp with the add-on Flac Codec. It worked very well for me.

The only problem that I have is that all my ripping, tagging and storage was done in a Windows environment and my SlimServer runs on a linux box. Since the upgrade to 6.0 some files with special characters were not found since the language sets were not specified in my samba share. This seems to be more a Linux-Windows problem in my setup and not a problem with SlimServer 6.0. Just the changes in 6.0 manifested a problem with my setup. Dan Sully is already aware and helped me track down the problem. I just wanted to through that out there since you mentioned you might be moving your files from one OS to another after the ripping process.

This is more of a general question about Flac encoding. Quite a few people are using it, but I've found the tools that I've looked at are just a little difficult to deal with. I used CDex and iTunes to rip CD's to mp3's. Is there an open source tool like that for Flac? So far, all the tools I've seen require multiple steps for ripping, CDDB then flac conversion. I have Windows, Mac OS and Linux, but would prefer a Windows or Mac OS tool because Linux is my server.
Thanks
