I use EAC to rip to WAV with tracknumber, title and artist in the file
name. Its tagging is limited so I don't use it.
The files are then copied to my RHEL server. There I have a shell
script where I can set variables (or not) to the tag values I want.
Running the script runs the following flac command on each wave file:
Code:
--------------------
flac -8 -V \
${artist:+-T "ARTIST=$artist"} \
${artist2:+-T "ARTIST=$artist2"} \
${album:+-T "ALBUM=$album"} \
${year:+-T "DATE=$year"} \
${genre:+-T "GENRE=$genre"} \
${track:+-T "TRACKNUMBER=$track"} \
${title:+-T "TITLE=$title"} \
${discnumber:+-T "DISCNUMBER=$discnumber"} \
${compilation:+-T "COMPILATION=$compilation"} \
${composer:+-T "COMPOSER=$composer"} \
${composer2:+-T "COMPOSER=$composer2"} \
${conductor:+-T "CONDUCTOR=$conductor"} \
${band:+-T "BAND=$band"} \
${ensemble:+-T "ENSEMBLE=$ensemble"} \
${orchestra:+-T "ORCHESTRA=$orchestra"} \
${performer:+-T "PERFORMER=$performer"} \
${performer2:+-T "PERFORMER=$performer2"} \
${performer3:+-T "PERFORMER=$performer3"} \
${performer4:+-T "PERFORMER=$performer4"} \
${performer5:+-T "PERFORMER=$performer5"} \
${performer6:+-T "PERFORMER=$performer6"} \
${comment:+-T "COMMENT=$comment"} \
"$file"
--------------------
Where variables are not set, the tags don't get included.
The script also produces a DOS batch file (no lame on my UNIX) with a
line for each processed wave for MP3 creation if I want the album for
the portable player.
Code:
--------------------
echo "\"C:\Program Files\Lame\lame.exe\" -b 160 -m s -V 4 -B 320 -q 2" \
${artist:+--ta "\"$artist\""} \
${album:+--tl "\"$album\""} \
${year:+--ty "\"$year\""} \
${genre:+--tg "\"$genre\""} \
${track:+--tn "\"$track\""} \
${title:+--tt "\"$title\""} \
${comment:+--tc "\"$comment\""} \
"\"$file\"" "\"$mp3file\"" \
>> "$lamebat"
--------------------
I just copy the batch file back to Windows and run it on the folder
holding the wave files.
It might -seem- long winded but has saved an awful lot of typing into
tag editors over the last few months.
