Mga sirs what app do you use to rip your CDs to flac? I have xAct but don't know which settings to use...
-
dbpoweramp

dbpoweramp
any setting i should use? thanks
-
THere a way to rip mkv audio to flac in 5.1 format (if there's such?).
i wanted to cut portions of a film and play em as tracks ?
-
any setting i should use? thanks
encoding - loseless uncompressed
brader JIM - no idea for that...
brader stagea - yuhooooooooooooooo

I use Winamp.
After you've loaded the CD you need to open Media Library if it is not yet opened.
Choose the CD drive where you've inserted the CD and the song list will show.
Click on Rip then select CD ripping preferences.
Choose FLAC on the drop down list on the Encoder tab. You can also configure the Compression factor (Fast Encoding vs Best Compression). I usually choose the Best Compression option.
Hope this helps.

I use EAC (Exact Audio Copy). Its a real pain in the ass to setup though.
XLD for Macs.

Thanks sir I was stumped with the compression factor, flac being lossless...I was thinking if i could get away with a fast encode and whether it still affects quality
Hope this helps.

I'm also asking the same thing, but being a lossless file I think setting it to the Best Compression setting is the way to go. And I don't have any idea if it would affect the quality if you chose Fast Encoding.

According to a blind test made by lifehacker, the difference between flac and 192kbps mp3 is negligible.

thats small difference(negligible) is BIG Difference for audiophile
192kbps hehe..320naman wala nabang mas mataas na bitrate hihihi

Yes, you can demultiplex the file then decode the demuxed audio track for re-encoding to flac. :)

im getting more confused here...hehe. so a 192 or 320 mp3 is more or less same lang with a flac encoded at best compression? how about the file sizes. i just made a first flac encode and the files were typically 30 to 34mb. tama ba?

nope
usually 44-45MB ung 0%
WAV doble...

naka best compression na sya sir..btw im using flac and xact (mac)...both were consistent with the file sizes...cd original file was 43mb or so.

Hindi ako sigurado dito pero hindi ba depende pa rin yan sa haba ng audio file? Syempre kapag maiksi at na-convert sa FLAC eh maliit din.
Pati tuloy ako napapadalawang isip sa mga na-convert ko kahit asa "best setting" na for ripping gamit ang Winamp.
Parang gusto ko na tuloy mag back-up in WAV format para talagang lossless.
Ako eh hindi naman audiophile pero gusto ko lang gawan ng lossless back-up ang mga CD ko just in case. Sa 128kbps eh masaya na ko pero iba pa rin yung may back-up ng original.

tama bro. dati puro mp3 mga backup ko sa cds not until i discovered about how lossless flac is. kaya starting from scratch again. want to do it right this time kaya ang kulit ko. >:D
just looking at all those cds to rip again makes me want to believe that mp3s are on par with flac hehe

Okay lang yan. Ako din eh nagiging makulit na rin dahil sa reply ni raider125jeigh na 44mb-45mb yung lossless na FLAC. So ibig sabihin eh walang kuwenta kahit anong setting ang gawin ko sa pag-rip dahil hindi din lossless kaya nga napapaisip ako na WAV na lang yung back-up ko eh. Dapat malinawan tayo dito.

To quote
"The data from this experiment confirms what I thought all along: for pure listening, the LAME defaults of 192kbps variable bit rate encoding do indeed provide a safe, optimal aural bang for the byte – even dogs won't be able to hear the difference between 192kbps VBR MP3 tracks and the original CD."

any other inputs from the audio gurus here? ^-^

Try out the A/B/X blind testing component of foobar2000.
I've done some extensive testing on it a while back and I was able to correctly identify FLAC from MP3s for approximately about 50% of a random selection of a lot of music. I've come to the conclusion that certain songs do sound lossless in FLAC while others will sound no different from MP3s. The most noticeable difference is with the higher frequency instruments such as the cymbals and high hats which tend to have artifacts with lossy encoding. There also seems to be a bit more airyness with lossless audio with some musical recordings.
You will have to listen intently to tell the differences. For everyday listening on any sound system I do agree that MP3s are good enough and that lossless is best for critical listening and archival purposes.

How true.
Reminds me of another blind test I read a few years back on whether so-called audiophiles can distinguish CD music from a 320 mp3 file. A song would be played and announced as coming from a CD and a minute later, the same song would be played and announced as an MP3 file. 70% of the respondents said they heard sonic differences. The tester took the results as it was which proved his hypothesis. He did not have the heart to reveal that all the while, he was playing 192 mp3 files throughout the test. ;D
It was a thesis for a master's degree. And the title was: The psychology of biased perception in consumer behaviour.

i use EAC to rip my cd's to flac.
-
^ Da best yan!
-
I use EAC when I needed to rip my cd's to bring up my ratio in what.cd
Now i just download them (100% log if possible).

I use foobar2000, same with the other bros above. For playing flac and Converting them files to 320bitrate cbr mp3. Got it from recommendations around the net. Works good, simple & fast.
Interface is quite simple too.
-select folder to add from the file menu (folder containing your flac tracks).
-highlight all tracks when displayed.
-right click. convert. a window will appear.
-select output file type & quality. (mp3, 320kbps cbr for me - highest)
-select folder transfer destination or create one from browsing.
-press back button after all preferences have been chosen.
-click convert(start) button.
-you're done.
......I'm pretty sure that's the workflow, but do let me know if I have missed something. :)

Foobar2000 is hands-down the best music program for PC (poor Winamp and its commercialization). To rip to FLAC, you'll need the open codec, though.

with 320 mahirap nga.but with 192 to 128 halata na specialy mid to low sa experience ko.hindi po ako audiophile

Yes, you can demultiplex the file then decode the demuxed audio track for re-encoding to flac. :)
+1 this, but probably better to just mux the audio stream straight (meaning direct stream copy, so no recompression applied) into an .m4a or multichannel .wma file instead of converting to flac.
Unless you have the original DTS-HD Master track, most likely the audio stream is already compressed using AAC or AC3. If you re-encode to flac it will still be AAC or AC3 quality at best but the resulting file will be 5x bigger because you will be expanding from the lossy compression to what is essentially zipped PCM.

mga experts, patanong naman ... how do I edit the song names after ripping the CD to FLAC format ... even if I rename the files on Windows, only the track number is displayed on Foobar and other media players ... i'm using EAC for ripping
