Re: [flac-dev] [bug] --keep-foreign-metadata discards WAV cue markers
Try using the following to decompress, instead: flac -d —keep-foreign-metadata testmarkers.wav Thanks for providing a test file. I was able to reproduce your issue following your commands, then I was able to restore the original WAV file with markers by adding the extra parameter. I’ve always used it this way, but often wondered whether the extra option was necessary. Apparently, it is.

Re: [flac-dev] [bug] --keep-foreign-metadata discards WAV cue markers
Thank you very much, it works indeed with: flac -d --keep-foreign-metadata testmarkers.flac Suggestion for devs: 1) If a file has been compressed with "--keep-foreign-metadata", then make "flac -d" decompress the file with metadata *by default*, without having to also do "--keep-foreign-metadata" during decompression. It makes sense that, if we compressed with this option enabled, the file should keep the metadata, also during decompression. 2) Could we enable --stdout also when using "flac -d --keep-foreign-metadata"? It would be useful for this purpose: md5sum myfile.wav flac -d --keep-foreign-metadata myfile.flac --stdout | md5sum This would allow to compare the original file (including the markers and metadata) and the result of the decompression of the flac, to be 100% sure that the metadata are kept in the compressed file.

[flac-dev] [bug] --keep-foreign-metadata discards WAV cue markers
Hello, I noticed that option --keep-foreign-metadata discards WAV cue markers. Here is how to reproduce the bug: 1) Create a 24-bit 96khz in SoundForge8, add 20 seconds of silence, and add two markers with "m" key shortcut 2) Save it, compress it with "flac --keep-foreign-metadata testmarkers.wav" 3) Decompress it with "flac -d testmarkers.flac" 4) Open the decompressed WAV in SoundForge: the markers have disappeared. Here is the WAV containing markers: http://gget.it/q4uh4/testmarkers.zip Best regards, NC ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
