Is it possible to recompress my collection of Flac 1.1.2 albums to be batch to 1.1.4? I have tried the Flac frontend, but I can only do one album at a time, and it's quite messy (source-wave-output) also tags are now blank for all fields, which is a no-no.
Batch 112 to 114 Flac conversion?
- Thread starter squiffy
- Start date
Tried that, it does convert them (is it decoding back to wave prior to flac encoding though?) and it's putting all files in one big directory, rather than artist\album of the original structure.
Surely there's another way, rather than re-ripping/encoding from original CD?

Still not working What do I need to enter in flac encoder parameters? I have -s -8 - -o %d
In EAC, parameters are
%A\%C\%N - %T
-8 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s
So basically I have around 180GB of FLAC albums on my NAS, batch conversion will read each album in turn, converting to wave, encoding the wave to flac 114, making a copy of new flac files on local HD, keeping original paths (album\artist) filnames (01 - track.flac) and tags, keeping original flac which can be deleted later once entire flac conversion is completed and tested.

Right %album artist%\%album%\%track% - %title% has fixed it, but are you sure foobar is converting to FLAC 112-WAVE-FLAC 114? Rather than FLAC 112-114?
Also can I import just flac files into foobar main window? Like dbpoweramp (which I have also) that has flac 112 though.

marc2003 said:i have absolutely no idea.
I tried converting from flac-wave, then wave-flac then I would know of the uncompression/recompression, that'll be a sure way of knowing so. But when I convert this way it loses tag info and then names the track 01-01 track.flac after conversion.
The file size differences between older flac 112 to flac 114 conversions in foobar method is around 200k for a 40MB file. Dbpoweramp explorer plugin now reports the flac version in the new converted files as 114.
With 900 albums, I would want a batch method, rather than spending all time in front of the computer manually, for just a "simple" flac-flac process.
Foobar batch conversion with whole lot of flac albums is working without user intevention, which is what I'm looking for. Also using the Replygain scan feature.
