Documenting Audio CD's to FLAC
« on: January 22, 2009, 12:34:42 PM »
In my ever increasing analness on organization of my live music collection, I am at a point where I need some input.  I have recieved several shows in the past that are Audio CD's.  For my own archiving and future trading purposes, I like to encode the WAV files to FLAC.  I am also making .txt files for them for achival purposes and for tagging them through FOOBAR.

Here has been my work flow:

1. rip the CD using EAC
2. saving the log file for an accurate rip and including it with the final FLAC file set
3. visually running a spectal analysis in EAC for mp3 sourced WAV files
4. in Trader's Little Helper run a WAV files to test for MPEG and then saving the log file of the verification and including it with the final FLAC file set
5. encode to FLAC and create a .ffp

Questions for you folks:
1. should I include the above process in my new .txt file?
2. if there exists a SHN or FLAC version of this show already (according to etree), but I haven't been able to track down a copy of it, should I include the lineage or information from the existing .txt file in my new .txt file?
3. is my process above the standard way of doing this type of work?

Im open to suggestions, tips and any secrets!

Thanks,
Greg

If it was me, and I was certain my copy came from the original lineage, I would probably do something like this:

Original lineage > CDR > EAC (secure mode, offsets corrected) > .WAV >  FLAC Frontend v#? (or TLH, or foobar, or whatever you use to encode) >FLAC level 8

Questions:
1. I would include all that stuff.
2. If there is an existing SHN/FLAC, and you are positive of your source, I'd use the existing text as a template.  If you are unsure of your source, I would make a new text.
3. Yep, pretty standard.  It may actually be overkill it its only for your archives...
