I just tried the AudioTester tool that Jim mentioned, and with that it is possible to drag-and-drop an entire folder, or point it at the folder via command line, and it will move through the sub-folders recursively. The output summarizes the passes and failures, and then lists the files tested, grouped by pass/fail. So even though it outputs all tests it should be easy to find the problem cases. As far as I can see AudioTester is Windows-only.
The flac command line tester (flac -t .....) will work on all platforms. You can pass multiple filenames as targets, but it does not appear to accept wild cards or recurse directories. If that is indeed the case then you would probably need to write a script (or find an existing one) that will pass the necessary sequence of filenames to test. FLAC Frontend appears to have the same limitations on recursion and wild cards. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87017 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
