obviously i used the search, i am having this exact same problem and it's driving me insane. why can't i create a fingerprint file??i have the latest version of flac installed. i open the flac program and click the add button. then i browse to the folder where the songs are that i want to fingerprint, and i highlight them all and they appear in the main flac window. it is one concert and all files are named in this formant: band-yyyy-mm-dd-d1t*.flacI click the fingerprint file and box opens asking me to name the file, default ext of .txt. i have this without the actual file existing(ie, create a new file with ffp info) and i have tried this after creating an empty text file with the name X.txt and also band-yyyy-mm-dd.txt. nothing works. wtf i am missing? it's gotta be obvious but i cannot for the life of me figure this out. i have tried highlighting all the files(ie shift + click) and also just one at a time or none at all. any special buttons need to be checked? i unchecked the delete files button...i just get a super fast blip which i assume is the cmd prompt and then nothing. for the love of god help me. i also totally f*cked up the torrent i tried to seed but that's another story. try and be a nice guy and all i do is create a mess. thanks.
i avoid all of this confusion by using FLAC frontend to FLAC the wavs and use md5 to make the FFP file.

What else do i need to use md5 for?make an mnd5 of the whole folder, its a checksumming device to see if all of the files are there and correct, if anything happens to your burn/upload, the md5 will be able to tell, it does a bit for bit check of the whole folder
