Title: Question about FLAC...
Post by: macroint on July 01, 2005, 01:50:04 PM: I'm having problems with the mkw tool....I can convert shn to wav, but keep getting an error when trying to go wav to shn. I rarely use FLAC, but where do I get the fingerprint from?

Thanks.

Post by: timP on July 01, 2005, 02:04:04 PM: you take your FLAC files and drag them into the empty FLACwindow and hit the "fingerprint" button on the side...
it will then ask where you want this info written, usually at the end of the Setinfo for me, and bam, it is done in seconds

FWIW, FLAC files' fingerprints are stored internally in the files themselves.
