I find the command line parameters to be simple enough so I just create a .bat file to invoke flac.exe such as this:
flac --best -T artist="Yeah Yeah Yeahs" -T date="2003" -T album="Fever To Tell" -T tracknumber="09" -T title="Maps" -T genre="Rock" "C:\wav\wavs\Yeah Yeah Yeahs - 2003 - Fever To Tell - 09 - Maps.wav" >From a command line if you type "dir /s/w/b > wavs.txt" you'll get a listing of all wavs into 1 file. I use Excel to build the line above for each file. This is easy if your comfortable with the text to columns feature and then a simple formula. Once this is in Excel you can do touch-ups on the tags prior to creating the .bat file. If the file name is in column A, followed by artist, year, album, track, title and genre in columns B-G then paste this formula in column H: ="flac --best -T artist="""&B1&""" -T date="""&C1&""" -T album="""&D1&""" -T tracknumber="""&E1&""" -T title="""&F1&""" -T genre="""&G1&""" """&A1&"""" copy the results of column H to a text file (notepad is fine) then save it with a .bat extension and run it while making sure flac.exe is in the same folder. This may seem complicated (and perhaps some of the UIs make this much easier) but I like the control over the process and the speed of making tag changes among the cells and using search/replace in Excel. -- zooropa320 2 Channel Setup: SB3 * Benchmark DAC1 * Classé Audio DR-15 mono blocks * Magnepan MG 3.5Rs * REL Strata III Music Server: Lian-Li PC-V2000B Case * Turbo-Cool 510 XE Power Supply * Tyan Thunder K8S Pro Motherboard * 3Ware 9500S-8 SATA RAID Card * 2 AMD Opteron 240 1.4GHz CPUs * 2 512MB PC3200 Corsair CAS 3 DRAMs * 8 250GB SATA Hitachi drives in RAID 5 http://www.last.fm/user/zooropa320/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zooropa320's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3420 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24873 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
