Feedback welcome, albeit I've only contributed ideas rather than code :)

It'll use all CPUs and thus get the job done faster than anything else I know of. If space is a premium you can also set it to automatically delete the source files on successful transcoding to FLAC. Alternatively, you could try the tools and methods outlined '*_here_*' (http://aidanjm.wordpress.com/2007/02/15/split-lossless-audio-ape-flac-wv-wav-by-cue-file/). soundcheck;565326 Wrote: > 2. tagging all of them, with special focus on classical pieces with > custom tagsTagging so many albums would be a hell of a job, however, if you're patient, puddletag's masstagging capability is currently under development and in a week or so it should be released. You'll be able to load a directory tree, hit ctrl-a and tell it to get masstagging. I've been testing the masstagger using Musicbrainz and I have to admit I can't stop smiling and shaking my head because its speed and accuracy surprises me and I'm constantly reminded that I've tagged around 10,000 albums one-at-a-time using mp3tag and more recently puddletag. if you're wanting to get a feel for how it works download the latest build via svn: Code: -------------------- svn co https://puddletag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/puddletag puddletag -------------------- soundcheck;565326 Wrote: > 1. implementing a flac or mp3 converter would perhaps a nice feature for > your program.

I'll discuss it with the developer - we may do it, but it'd be on the backburner for now as there are higher priorities currently being worked on. soundcheck;565326 Wrote: > Thx again for your great program.
