I see that this was the right place to fire off this question. Thanks for your feedback. It has given me a base to start some trials. I used to use EAC on Windows, but I tend to only use open source software as much as possible and I don't use Windows any more. I gave a brief look at abcde, but it is clear I need to look at this some more. It looks like it has the potential to do everything I would need, including encoding to 2 formats at the same time, FLAC to archive or play and ogg or mp3 for the players.
With regards the toc problem not compensating for starting from track 0, is it possible to use the cdrtoa -t or -T options to compensate for the shift. I am not sure I fully understand the option, but I came across it and thought I would mention it. The method I was using was this one I found through google - all in one file like this: cdrdao read-cd --with-cddb --datafile album.bin album.toc cueconvert album.toc album.cue flac --endian=big --sign=signed --channels=2 --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --cuesheet=album.cue album.bin Works going there, but not sure about getting back. I guess right now I need to go and try both methods. If I can help with abcde I will, but I have the programming skills of a monkey (and a monkey without a decent education at that). Just some questions: Dax, this looks good. You are getting an accurate copy of the cd with this method, track 0 and all? Is cdrdao as good as cdparanoia at ripping? Does anyone know what players (Linux OS or portable)support playing of a single album FLAC file ? cheers _______________________________________________ Flac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac
