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
