OK, I can deal with flacs. I installed
tom $ frpm flac
gstreamer-flac-0.8.1-3mdk
flac-1.1.0-5mdk <<--------------
libflac++2-1.1.0-5mdk
liboggflac1-1.1.0-5mdk
libflac4-1.1.0-5mdk
usin 'urpmi flac' [cooker sources, on a cooker 10.1 system]
(actually 'flac' was all that was installed, seems I already had
the other bits). I've been usin it usin as
'tom $ flac -d -8 *.flac *.wav' (??'s)
in the dir the *.flac's are in. CD's produced from those
(normalized wav's) files are impressive. So are the d/l size of
flac files. Four or more times the size of correspondin mp3's. No
wonder they sound better than store bought CD's.
Ogg's, no problemo. Got a perl script (ogg2wav) and made it
a+x, put it in /usr/bin along with flac. Tho the resultin Cd's
aren't all that much noticably better than mp3's normalized to
wav's an burned to CD's.
BUT, I'm at a loss with .ape's. Google only has me more
confused. Other than to point out it's mainly pointed at Windoze
machines/OS.
So... criticise my flac conversion, ogg2wav, an give me some
help with monkeys ;) There's some stuff on ... lossless.country
I'd like to try out
