File names with eac

[Mark Lanctot]

I will try the command lin promt. I did copy and paste the command line during set up. It should be possible to copy and paste it in the box ?

Yes, you can copy and paste it.

Is this dos, java or what else ?

Not sure what you mean here.

Something strange happened to my softsqueeze emulation. It was an transporter, but now it is a strange player emulation. TROLL`s. Have tried to change it back in Softsqueeze preferances - skin - push - transporter - click ok - but the same strange payer appears, and take all my desktop space. TROLL.

One issue at a time, but that's the SB2 skin, and the font size is set to large.

Yes, command line prompt was wrong. I copy and pasted two lines at once. Only the upper line was inserted. I saw this when i copied it back. I have to copy the upper line first and then the next line(under). The dos promt tells me that ther is two errors.

6 -V --replay-gain -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y
"-T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %s

ERROR: Can`t open input file6: No such file or directory
ERROR: Can`t open input file tracknumber=01: No such file or directory

EAC extract to .wav

No, please post what is in the EAC "Additional command line options" here on this forum so we can see if there are any errors. Don't post it into a DOS box unless you want to test it out, but you have to put "flac" before it like this:

flac -6 -V

etc. etc.

Note I made a mistake on the code I posted. It should be "-6", not "6". But it goes to show you how easy it is to make a mistake. If you're off by one character, the entire thing won't work.

Hello, with help from you i am near. Flac is compressing right now. But there are error message from command line prompt. Cant remember the first error exactly.
Was something like : error, cant find track 01.

The second one under here is accurate.

ERROR: can`t open track number=04: No such file or directory < on the cd rom there are track number 04. What does this mean ?

Tried with flac -6 as first digits, but i was to impatient. Deletet the files before flac was finished compressing. Did get error message(tracknumber) thoug.

No i am experimenting with -6 as the first digit.
If you look at these two lines :
-6 -V --replay-gain -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y"
-T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %s

Should it be a "SPACE" between %y(last digit in the first line) and -T(the first digit in hte second line) ?

Hello, with help from you i am near. Flac is compressing right now. But there are error message from command line prompt.

Now I'm confused. Is it working or isn't it?

Let's try one thing at a time. I'm not sure why you immediately jumped to trying it out on the command line. It's a good idea, because if you can get it working there, you can get it working in EAC, but the codes will be different. Things like "tracknumber=%n" won't be accepted by flac as-is. They are internal to EAC. EAC will change "tracknumber=%n" to "tracknumber=1".

Cant remember the first error exactly.
Was something like : error, cant find track 01.

It may not like the leading "0".

The second one under here is accurate.

I'm confused again. Which "second line" is this? You should only be supplying EAC or flac with one line. As soon as it gets the carriage return ("enter") it'll execute, and if the line is incomplete, you'll get an error.

ERROR: can`t open track number=04: No such file or directory < on the cd rom there are track number 04. What does this mean ?

The command-line you're supplying it is mangled or it doesn't like the leading "0".

No i am experimenting with -6 as the first digit.
If you look at these two lines :
-6 -V --replay-gain -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y"
-T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %s

Should it be a "SPACE" between %y(last digit in the first line) and -T(the first digit in hte second line) ?

It should be a space and not a carriage return/enter. It's a single line.

Yeeeaaah yeeeaah pip pip now flac is compressing without errors. Fck cool. An hard fight, but i had good peaple ringside(this forum).

Ther should be a space between %y and -T

HE HE HE .... phu !!

Any suggestion for an workaround about my problem with softsqueeze. Picture in a post above in this tread.

Thank you very much for your help and have a nice evening

[Mark Lanctot]

Glad to hear it! Looks like you sorted things out while I was typing this long message. Regarding SoftSqueeze, you should start another thread. Rather than me just deleting this message, I'll leave it in case it helps anyone else out.

Let's say you had a file called "song.wav". To compress it, you'd type:

flac -6 "song.wav"

You could use a number other than 6, anything from 0 to 8.

Now say you want to verify the file, which decodes it at the same time as it's encoding it, and if they don't match at the end, report an error.

flac -6 -V "song.wav"

Write ReplayGain track tags:

flac -6 -V --replay-gain "song.wav"

Add tags with a -T, then in double quotes, what the tag name is followed by what it will contain.

flac -6 -V --replay-gain -T "artist=Some Guy" "song.wav"

And finally if you want to specifically name the resulting flac file:

flac -6 -V --replay-gain -T "artist=Some Guy" "song.wav" "Some Guy's Song.flac"

Looking familiar? This is all from http://flac.sourceforge.net/document...ools_flac.html There are a LOT more options.

Now EAC uses codes so that it can pass things on to flac. It doesn't need the word "flac", it'll call it from the "location of flac.exe" that you've specified. To specify artist, you use %a. Title, %t. Album, %g. Etc., etc. Finally you use %s to specify the file name and path.

I am saving this message(above) from you and will try to learn a little bit,later.

Thank you for all the help.

Hello,
I have turned away from eac since it is using so much cpu resources... I can't even move the mouse to fast. It is running stable but should it make a 2.2ghz turion 64 with 1gb of ram completely inusable?
I used to use abcde under linux text console and do other things at the same time.
Any idea?
Thanks
Jeronimo

No, that's not normal at all. EAC is very light on resources actually. It's the encoding that consumes as much resources as it can get.

I did find EAC had issues with window management, i.e. when you tried to go back to it from another window it would be sluggish in refreshing. It also liked to grab focus from other programs.
