Cool. Thanks everyone. It's a bit of a daunting task to re-rip all my CDs, but certainly the most interesting thing is that once I've ripped them to FLAC, I shouldn't need to rip them again.
In fact, I kind of thought that was what would happen with MP3s. I've already ripped around 95% of my CDs, and a large percentage of them are now in the attic in boxes. Sigh :( If higher compression rates require extra processing power, I should be set for that. We've got several PCs in the house, but one in particular is still a pretty good spec (even though it's now a year old). I think it's time I bought the boxes of CDs down from the attic, bought a few new hard disks, and started ripping to FLAC ;) Another quick question though... I've spent ages (literally _years_) getting my MP3 tags correct. It's an on-going project, and I chip away at them every once in a while - still a lot of work to do. How does tagging work with FLAC? Is it possible to "map" the ID3 tags from MP3s into equivalent tags in FLAC format? In an ideal world, there'd be a utility I could use to point at my MP3 library (less than 5000 MP3s) and it would work out what tags I wanted for FLAC files and do all the work for me. That would be kind of ideal. What are my chances? (Does FLAC actually have "tags" as such, BTW??) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
