Re: Rediscovering Vorbis...

can convert FLAC back to WAV without any loss of quality and then convert the WAV to any format you wish.

You can also do this directly!
e.g.
flac -> vorbis

oggenc -q6 *.flac

flac -> mp3

#!/bin/bash
for a in *.flac

do
OUTF=`echo "$a" | sed s/\.flac$/.mp3/g`

ARTIST=`metaflac "$a" --show-tag=ARTIST | sed s/.*=//g`
TITLE=`metaflac "$a" --show-tag=TITLE | sed s/.*=//g`
ALBUM=`metaflac "$a" --show-tag=ALBUM | sed s/.*=//g`
GENRE=`metaflac "$a" --show-tag=GENRE | sed s/.*=//g`
TRACKNUMBER=`metaflac "$a" --show-tag=TRACKNUMBER | sed s/.*=//g`
DATE=`metaflac "$a" --show-tag=DATE | sed s/.*=//g`

flac -c -d "$a" | lame --preset fast standard - "$OUTF"
id3 -t "$TITLE" -T "${TRACKNUMBER:-0}" -a "$ARTIST" -A "$ALBUM" -y "$DATE" -g "${GENRE:-12}" "$OUTF"
id3v2 -t "$TITLE" -T "$TRACKNUMBER" -a "$ARTIST" -A "$ALBUM" -y "$DATE" -g "$GENRE" "$OUTF"
done

Re: Rediscovering Vorbis...

Sorry, I'd post said script if I'd find it in this mess of data that is my back-up harddrive.

Hey Runiq,

did you find the script? I'm highly interested

Sorry—I lost it during a "backup" and am in the middle of rewriting, trying out hg for the first time. Don't expect anything soon though, diploma takes precedence…

Re: Rediscovering Vorbis...

No problem. I'm still waiting for more disc space before I dive into the world of FLAC anyway ;b

Alles Gute fürs Diplom

Re: Rediscovering Vorbis...

Heh, thanks to you two

I think I lost the script, but I found something similar: flacsync. It apparently syncs the whole base directory, though, and I don't know about it adding Replay Gain. I did it all with a crude bash script, rsync, and mp3gain/vorbisgain/metaflac, though, so you're probably better off with flacsync anyways.

Edit: Scratch that, this seems to be the way to go. It hasn't been updated since 2008 as far as I can see, and it doesn't do replaygain, but it seems promising. Maybe I can add the rest of the stuff myself over time.
