What do people generally do with FLAC files? Do they directly play them either with a stand-alone player or with the computer or, on the contrary, they first create audio CDs with them? Please understand my post is not about not knowing what a FLAC file is. I've used programs that create an audio CD from a FLAC file many times and also, others that haven't been converted, I play them directly.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to convert some .flac files into .mp3.
I found this script:
#!/bin/bash
FLAC=$1
MP3="${FLAC%.flac}.mp3"
[ -r "$FLAC" ] || { echo can not read file "$FLAC" >&1 ; exit 1 ; } ;
metaflac --export-tags-to=- "$FLAC" | sed 's/=(.*)/="1"/' >tmp.tmp

I have some downloaded files of radio programme from BBC which are .aac. I have never come across this type before. Googled it so now I am a bit wiser and VLC seems to play them without problem but they are not accepted by my upnp client devices which are happier with flac or mp3. I would prefer flac but what is the preferred conversion software.
View 3 Replies View RelatedYou will need "cuetag" for this which is part of the "cuetools" but since you already installed it (see previous seps), all you have to do is open the terminal, navigate to the folder where you just splitted some APE or FLAC files and type this:
Code:
cuetag *.cue split-track*.flac ;
(if you didn't change the file's name from split-trackNN.flac). All the split-track*.flac files will have tags in just a few seconds.so i did exactly what i was suppose to do but for some reason is still could not add the tags to my FLAC files..

kon@kon-laptop:~$ cd ~/Desktop

How can I convert DTS files to Flac? Soundconverter and the likes won't work, so I thought of VLC but could not get it to work either.
View 9 Replies View RelatedLately I've tried rsync for backing up my home partition to an external drive, but I've run into some problems with some flac files (there might be other problematic files though, these are the ones I know of). The external drive is formatted in ntfs. Now, when adding my whole music directory (within my home directory) first as a library to VLC and then copying to the playlist, some files are not playable. I discovered this at work in windows, and resaved all the flac files using ex falso to skip windows incompatible characters. The problem persisted though. I tried the same thing in VLC in Ubuntu, and got again a set of non-playable files, partly, but not completely, overlapping the set of files that were not playable in windows. The original files (on my internal drive) are playable in VLC in Ubuntu. What to do (except to go back to cp instead of rsync, rsync is faster, but if it doesn't copy correctly, it's not worth it)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Rhythmbox 0.12.8. First issue was I could not get MP3 to show as a "Preferred format", but then installed the "gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse package"; MP3 was then a "Preferred format" option. Now that MP3 is the preferred format, the CD is ripped in a "flac" format. Is there some conversion? I'm not well versed in music file formats.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been a Linux user for 5 years, though this I only recently started using RPM based distros. I'm still in my first week using Fedora and I love it. Hats off to the development team. Now, onto my question:
I have a rather large collection of music in three different formats: MP3, OGG, and FLAC. I'd like to shrink my library by converting all the flac files to ogg. However, since I don't want to convert from lossy to lossy, I'm going to leave the mp3s alone. Is there a program that will allow me to do this quickly and easily? I'd prefer a GUI, though I'm comfortable working with the terminal if needed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAmarok will play flac files just fine, but when i try to index them into the library via "Update collection" they are not added.
All other threads i can find on this kind of thing also have Amarok not playing flac....but if i drag and drop them in, they play just fine, so i know its not a codec problem.
Is there something i have to enable? Like in some media players, you can set which formats are scanned for...but i cant seem to find such a feature available in any of the Amarok settings...
I have a whole bunch of wma files I want to convert to a more liked format like wv flac or shn. Shntool does not seem to want to do that soundconverter and soundkonverter both refuse too. My wma format is wma1 or wmal cannot tell if it is 1 the number or l the letter L.
1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic
2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.
I downloaded a couple of TTA files and they are just static on playback. Do I need a different codec or something? Converting the files to FLAC yielded the same results. I'm running a 10.04 64bit machine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed cplay on Slackware 13.1 but I ran into a problem and I am unable to figure it out on my own:
When browsing folders in cplay I went into a folder containing only .FLAC music files.. it was empty! I am unable to play any of these with cplay
If I cd into that folder through the terminal and play the file using ogg123 it works fine.. cplay is just a front-end to mpg123 and ogg123... I don't know why it isn't reading these files..
I dont know where to start... I was unable to find any documentation of config file for cplay (not even a slackbuild for it.. I installed it from source which I extracted from a Debian package)
I am looking for a command line command to convert ~2500 .flac files to .ogg files. All of the .flac files are in one folder and I would like to have the .ogg files put in a folder labled OGG - I would like to retain song information etc if possible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cant convert audio files using flac with standard input. I tried the commands such as:
Code:
mpg321 -b 10000 -s -r 44100 -w - file.mp3 | flac - -o file.flac
or:
Code:
ogg123 -d wav -f - file.ogg | flac - -o file.flac
[Code]....
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 am trying to check flac files in a multi-level directory structure, and would ideally like to get ordered output with the full path file name.
I could write a multiline script, but was wondering if there were better ways of accomplishing this.
The current command I am using is:
Code:
find . -name '*flac' -exec flac -t {} ;
there is any way (via terminal or gediting a file) to use .flac files instead of .ogg in a sound theme file? I am creating a sound theme (several truthfully) and I would like to use the FLAC format if possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedA week ago I installed a completely new Debian Squeeze on a newly LUKS encrypted, etx3-formated notebook Acer Extensa 5220. I used main sources only and the only uncommon thing I did so far was to disable ipv6 according to the Debian guide:

I used Epiphany as my main web browser on Debian Lenny on the same Notebook. Before the last weeks before switching to the Squeeze I experianced the problem, that I couldn't display the freemail-webpage of GMX any more without crashing the browser. After installing the new system I can display GMX again, but now Epiphany freezes as soon as I open GMail. And unfortunately the browser is much slower than before on Lenny. Right now Chromium and Iceweasel are working without any problems with the same installation...
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWell I get my other 2 questions answered , I have one last question that has been buggy me.Anyone know why windows use so many files just to keep the OS going and so bloated? The under line of files of windows is messy and loads self every where and very bloated with windows and windows vista and windows 7 very much so.I'm not sure if Linux /Mac OS X is like this or not .
I know windows needs to support alot more software and hardwar but is that not where drivers come in for the hardware.And programmers need to write the software for windows or Linux / Mac OS X.
