flacattack works very well, but you have to configure it properly. In EAC, under "Compression Options", you'll want to have something similar to this set in the "Additional command line options" field: "C:\Program Files\flacattack\flacattack.ini" %s "%a" "%t" "%g" "%y" "%n" "%m" %o Once you have EAC configured to use flacattack, you'll need to set up flacattack. Just check all of the boxes under the "Command Line Options" section of the FLAC tab, and make sure you save your config file after you make changes, since it doesn't save it automatically. branas Wrote: > > I have many albums (live recordings) that span multiple discs, so, > whereas filename "TrackNumber.Trackname.Album.Artist.Year" works great > for alot of things, it doesn't help when you really need > "Tracknumber.Discnumber.Trackname.Album.Artist.Year".

The fact that a live recording is split over many discs is completely arbitrary -- the live performance wasn't created with the CD in mind, so just treat the whole thing as a single show and number it accordingly. You're ripping the music to FLAC, so you can always put the files back onto discs later in any way you want. I usually just number the songs from whole from 1-n afer its been ripped, and put a d1, d2, d3 in the filename after the fact in case I want to re-create the discs from the FLAC files. Just number the files d1-nn, d2-nn, d3-nn where nn is the number of the track from 1 to the total number of tracks in the show. This will let you see where the disc was split, but maintains a number scheme so that the show plays from beginning to end. branas Wrote: > > edit: One more thing, should I be checking the box in FLAC for replay > gain if I'm not using Metaflac? > You should always use replaygain, if you can spare the time it takes to calculate. It'll make for a much better listening experience. So, yes, check the box. If you have metaflac installed and are using flacattack, the rest will be handled automatically. -- Rob A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rob A.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2852 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19194 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
