Software :: FLAC Files To Convert Or Not To Convert To CD-DA?
Dec 24, 2010
I have a lot of .flac files downloaded from several sites. Most of them come with a .cue file, and the .jpg with the cover, etc. It seems it is the intention of the uploader that one rebuilds the original CDDA. However, if I had a stand-alone CD/DVD player with flac I would hardly see the point of converting the flac to cdda. Furthermore, I could even play the flacs with a software player although, in this case, the audio quality would not be so good due to the noise picked up by the signal from the PC digital circuits.
All such conversions doesnt produce any *.flac file. It seems flac doesnt accept minus sign for the standard input although flac manual allows to use it.
So my question is how I can use the standard input in order to decode audio data with flac?
I have Ubuntu 9.04 and just installed Sound Converter. I am trying to convert a bunch of .ogg files to mp3 to play on my iPod and it's not working so well. In the Sound Converter options I have is set to convert to high quality mp3. I choose the folder that the files are in and after a moment (slow laptop) Sound Converter populates, I hit 'convert' and it shows that the conversion completes in two seconds. All that it did was create the new folder structure of artist/album but there is nothing in there. Not sure what I am missing. I used Sound Converter before and it worked fine.
I'm trying to use convert, I have installed the imagemagick. I use this line:convert *.jpg test.pdf but I'm only able to convert to pdf 1 single jpg file, not multiple files at once. When there's more than one file, I get the following error: Segmentation fault
I would like have a script that can monitor my flac folder and everytime I rip a new cd to flac I would like the script to make a new folder with mp3 files @320 bit and place the newly created folder with mp3's into a folder named mp3. This is my very first script but after reading up on linuxcommand.org I discovered the power of scripts. Maybe there already exsist such a script for all I know?
Where would be a good place to search/look for templates that I can tailor to meet my needs? Also I would like to hear good suggestions for other repetitive tasks people solve with the use of scripts, that way I can easier see what else I can dig into. Can scripts also be used to manipulate databases? For instance to every day search for top 50 of certain met criteria, or whatever else output one is looking for?
What's the easiest way to convert ALL mp3's in a library folder into a non-proprietary format like FLAC or OGG format? One that can search recursively and save the converted files in the same folders as the originals.

error: the following is not a file or directory: home/ajpearson/Desktop/Test
It does not matter what directory I use I get the same error. I am sure the answer is obvious - but not t me.

I thought this would only merit a google. but all methods seem overtly complicated. I have a bunch of folders filled with .doc files and I need them to convert to plain .txt files. Is there a program I can download from the repositories, or a command I can use to do this?
I have a file (.tgz) which is meant to be simply copied to a floppy disc. I don't have a floppy disc, so I would like to convert the file to a .img file, so that it looks like a floppy disc but is on my hard drive. How do I do this? I have looked quite a lot. Surely there is some application that does it easily. This is for installation of Basic Linux, which comes on two floppy discs with ms-dos file systems.
I have sites written in Win-1250 alias cp150. I need to convert all files to UTF-8. I know about iconv but I found problem with this tool. When I tried to convert I had to make a copy of the original file. But I have many files in (sub)folders. So If I would want to use iconv instead, I would need to convert all files from *.php to *.tmp and than copy or rename back to *.php. This looks too difficult.ther way how to do it, something intelligent and simple
