Hello all, I seem to be in a bit of a bind. Below is the email which I sent to the list a while back. I wrote the vast majority of my CD collection to Flac and checked them with the Flac test (the -t option of Flac), they played fine and all seemed wonderful.
Sadly life is no longer roses and chocolates. Now as I come to rip the whole lot to Vorbis files, Oggenc is spewing an error that the files are 'not a supported format'. As the flacs which I have produced since moving to Ubuntu (with sound juicer) seem to work, I am starting to worry that all the files which I made from CDex are going to give me grief. Any ideas? Suggestions? Some magical something which someone can offer me to fix up whatever is wrong with my many Flac files??? Can I run some script to decode the flacs to wav and back again without losing the tags? Flac seems to think that they are fine, so I don't understand why Oggenc isn't happy. It will be a rather major effort for me to redo the whole lot... Thanks again Aaron Aaron Whitehouse wrote: > I am using CDex to encode my music into Flac.
