Title: Renaming Flac files
Post by: Kevin Straker on April 30, 2007, 03:58:29 PM

I already converted my .wav files to flac. I now notice that I have the wrong date of  them. Can I change the file name on my flac files and be done with it, or do I have to change the name on my original wave files and then reconvert?

I'd prefer just to rename the flac files and make a new fingerprint.

should be no problem to just rename the FLAC files, and create a new Fingerprint.

Rename the FLAC files as needed.  You can create a new FFP/MD5, or you can text edit the original FFP/MD5.

I think its a good idea to make a new FFP/MD5.  You can verify new against old to make sure what you think you got is what you really got.  Also, its a lot quicker...
