I've had a flurry of activity and am in the process of preparing a new version of flac2mp3 for release.
The latest version from my svn trunk is the prospective release candidate. If you've already got a version of flac2mp3 on your system, you only need grab the updated flac2mp3.pl file from here: http://robinbowes.com/projects/flac2mp3/browser/trunk/flac2mp3.pl?format=txt The key change in this release is that I'm now using the MD5 checksum from the flac file to determine whether or not the file should be transcoded. This value is stored in the mp3 file in a custom comment tag labelled "MD5". If this value does not match the MD5 checksum of the flac file or does not exist then the file will be transcoded. For existing users this means that you must run flac2mp3 on your existing library with the --tagsonly switch to update the MD5 tags in the mp3 files. If you do not do this, flac2mp3 will re-transcode all your files; not the end of the world, but relatively time-consuming. Please post feedback to the flac2mp3 users mailing list - details on the flac2mp3 home page: http://robinbowes.com/projects/flac2mp3/#MailingLists Thanks, R. _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
