# Depends on the programs: flac, metaflac, and oggenc # Could be simply modified to fix the comments in the flac files themselves # Simple ruby script to convert non-native ID3 comments in flac files into native comments in ogg files. It's not as complex as mp3tag (which i used when i used windows) but it does enough. The conversion isn't a big deal, I just wanted to update my scripts for all eventualities.ĮasyTag works just fine for me anyway and writes the correct tags. It works faster anyway, which is surprising! Yeah i will continue to use EAC under wine for my ripping. And also metaflac will display tag content in metadata block "VORBIS_COMMENT". For correctly tagged FLAC files you can just write "oggenc -q 7 file.flac" and get file.ogg with all tags in source file. I can recommend use Mp3Tag under wine, I think it can read such tags and rewrite it in correct format. But it's better to convert ID3v2 tag to Vorbis comments tag and setup grip not to add ID3v2 tags anymore to FLAC files. But FLAC supports decoding such files yet. Early version had support for ID3v2, but later it was made deprecated. Easytag and the music players find the tags though.Ĭurrent FLAC has only one supported tag scheme - Vorbis comments. Quote from: HydraReptile on 09:41:58 I had the same thought myself but I tried using the id3 program in linux to extract the tag and it said none where found. I don't want to use other programs, i'd like to get the scripts I have customised working to handle both eventualities. Since the original script used oggenc to directly encode the flac it won't work so i had to modify a flac2mp3 script to work with ogg instead and it was then i noticed that the tag information wasn't being read correctly. It's not a massive problem, it's only that I ripped a load of cds using grip and i wanted to convert them using some flac2ogg scripts that I had customised as they work in batch. Easytag and the music players find the tags though. I had the same thought myself but I tried using the id3 program in linux to extract the tag and it said none where found. Vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.1.4 20070213 Point 0: sample_number=0, stream_offset=0, frame_samples=4096 Is there some other tool I can use to convert the tag information and/or is there a version of oggenc that will encode these flac files on the fly? I looked at a working flac and a non working flac in a hex editor and the tag information is totally different. If i use "metaflac -export-tags-to" the returned information is blank, so I cannot extract them from the file to put into my ogg. I tried manipulating some scripts to encode to ogg by decrypting the flac first and this is working fine but the tag data is not working. If use flac -d to decode my file to a wav first then oggenc is happy. Oggenc will encode files made from EAC to flac with no problems. If i use oggenc to directly encode the flac file it says "this file type is not supported". The problem has been converting my flac files to the ogg format. The flac files play back just fine and the tag information is viewable in my players. I converted a bunch of cds to the flac format using grip (which worked fine on the surface). I am running Linux (Ubuntu) with versions 1.4.x of the flac libraries installed.
