Sparky191 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Anyone converting FLAC files to ATRAC for HiMD? How are you doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) - I rip my CD's as a flac image + cuesheet- I mount the cuesheet with deamontools (as an audio CD) (doesn't seem to work! remembered this incorrectly, sorry)- I transfer the 'audio CD' with SBI thought of simplifying this by using WMA-lossless but that crap can't remain gapless and A-lossless still isn't real*edit: it seems that I am mistaken and I actually had wav+cues of all recordings I transferred this way... sorry for the confusion!!

Sparky191 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'm not familar with some of that. Can you mount the FLAC with a cuesheet as a CD image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 umph... sparks, you stumped me... I really thought I did, but I've just gone back and tried and daemon tools wouldn't do it (seems like it requires wav) I know I did mount 'em before... but I just found out I have quite some wav+cuesheets from my own recordings (and when transferring CD's I use the CD normally, not the ripped flac) so perhaps I was simply wrong and I always used the wav+cue or I used another mounting tool (but I really can't recall which) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky191 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Pity. Ahwell. I haven't used SB. Does it pull the track names from the wav filenames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I don't think so, but I really haven't tried... I use the image cue method for my own recordings and I mostly do not name the separate tracks (you can add the tracknames to the cue file, but I dunno either if it gets those, never tried)with CD's it uses gracenote CDDB (just like SS) so if it is a full CD you'll most likely get the info and tracknamesbut I guess now's a good time for someone else here to chip in and help us out with a good way of going FLAC->HiMD (and not someone with a lousy memory like me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbb90 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) How about DBPoweramp? (In download section)Covert them to wav temparly, Inport the WAV files into sonicstage, convert to Hi-MD and then delete the WAV's.

dex Otaku Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I use:* FLAC disc image w/cuesheet [the cuesheet has to point to the FLAC file with filetype still set as WAVE]* "burn" a mountable CD image with Nero* mount it, use SB or SS to rip.. or FLAC files, which I convert to WAV using foobar2000 with sensible filenames that all tag info can be copied from, import the WAVs into SS, then convert.It would be so nice if SS could recognise any system-valid audio stream [i.e. anything with a directshow codec installed].If anyone knows any image-mounting tools that allow mounting WavPack or FLAC images with cuesheets [or embedded cuesheets], PLEASE let us know!

The Low Volta Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 see I knew it... I used to have an older version of Nero, but it got 'lost' in a minor PC-crash... then I moved to daemon tools for mounting, but it can't handle flac (even with filetype set to wave)darn my lousy memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
