I agree this is the best strategy. On VortexBox, if you use the VB FLAC-to-mp3 mirror (based on Robin Bowes' flac2mp3.pl script), it will update the mirrored mp3 files with any changes you make to FLAC tags or cover art without redoing the lame transcoding if the music content has not changed. So you can rerun the mirror after you make changes to FLAC tags and this operation is relatively efficient. It does check every FLAC file in your LMS library, however. On a VB, if you want to update tags or embedded cover art in mirrored mp3 files for a single album, you can use the mirror-cd-to-mp3 script from the command line. -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92623 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
