Thanks for all the responses to my question. I think I can use shntool hash option for my project
I did not find in the shntool documentation or flac documentation that the hash or st5 always would match the flac fingerprint. But at least in a couple tests I did they matched. And I found some more comments around the internet indicating they were the same. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 12:01 AM To: Jeff Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Flac] how to get flac fingerprint from a wav? > In windows command line: > > I have a wav file and would like to see what the flac fingerprint would be. > > To do this I run flac to encode the wav file and write the flac file to the > hard disk.

If I recall correctly st5=ffp for flac files. _______________________________________________ Flac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac
