A suite of shell scripts for FLACs and MP3s
Authored by: ChrisR on Sep 08, '04 08:05:41AM

Thanks, mfc2mfc2, I'm glad you found them useful. The "verify" switch is a good idea -- modify away! As for the "skip" switch, I was getting a pop in the beginning of my mp3s when I transcoded them and I discovered that FLAC was including some sort of header space that most encoders ignore. After some md5 checksum testing, I found that a FLAC file with the first 20 blocks chopped off, once decompressed, was identical to a WAV file ripped in iTunes. Feel free to get rid of that option, but I needed it to make authentic copies.
