A question to all members:
What kind of loss-less compression (FLAC, APE ...) do You prefer and why?

FLAC all the way:
- De facto standard for lossless compression
- Widely supported
- Open source
- Backwards compatible (APE isn't, if I recall correctly)

Other lossless compression schemes might be better (= higher  
compression) than FLAC but "lost the arms race" - also, with 1 TB  
drives costing less than $80, this is fast becoming a moot point.

Several years ago I started playing around with putting my entire CD
collection on disk. At that time I used APE as it compressed files a
little better than FLAC. I stopped when I realized that disk drives back
then did not have the capacity I needed. I have recently started the
project again and decided to switch to FLAC as it seems it's becoming
the default standard. Not only does EAC come with the FLAC but my audio
player of choice (VLC) also supports FLAC out of the box. Additionally,
several high-end receivers with Ethernet connections and can play FLAC
audio files located on a PC. FLAC also supports tagging and cover art
and APE does not.

EAC inserts album cover art into each FLAC file so that when you create
a playlist of songs from different albums the VLC player displays album
each song came from.
VLC audio player can be had at www.videolan.org

I have never been able to add album art to the music using FLAC, I have version 1.7.1. Do I need a newer version or am I missing something when I decode the music?
Thanks, Ken

I don't add album art manually. EAC does this for me when I rip the CD.
It must get the album art from the freedb database when it gets the song
titles then adds it to each audio track. I am using EAC v0.99 prebeta 4
from 23 Jan 2008.

My mistake Ken.
EAC does not insert cover art into each FLAC file. My audio player (VLC)
is getting the album art from the internet each time it plays a song. It
must use an album ID tag inserted in each song by EAC to get the correct
album art.
Sorry for the misinformation.

No, that's not accurate - I can tag and add cover art to my APE files.

I will usually convert anything I receive in APE or SHN format to FLAC.

[altairleague]

Martin wrote in an earlier email the reasons I support FLAC.

Another is flexibility in converting to other formats.  dbPowerAmp's
converter allows one to move from FLAC to just about any other
mainstream format.

Ken,

I have found that other means can manage album art more easily (e.g.
MediaMonkey).

You have to shell out a few $$, but I've been quite pleased with the
capability and flexibility of that program for managing my media archive.

I use both FLAC and MP3.
MP3 for portability (IPODs/ZUNEs/etc) and FLAC for in-home usage.
I direct EAC output to MAREO to create both file sets.
I have used MAREO for over a year now and absolutely love teh combination of
EAC and MAREO.

Would you be willing to share the command-line options you use with MAREO?

I use FLAC as well.   My entire library (personal CDs and live downloads) has been completely converted over to FLAC with the low pricing on 1TB hard discs.  My only disappointment is that my Zune does not support it requiring an extra conversion step (Media Monkey for me).

Tim,

dbPowerAmp converts from FLAC to .wav (lossless) faster than
MediaMonkey, if you have a multi-core processor.

They have written the app in a multi-threaded fashion to take advantage
of the extra cores...something not all apps do.

I've put several items into a zip file and have attached it to this email.
I cannot upload files to the group, so just in case the attachement is not
available, I've CC-d those who directly asked for the info.
The zip file includes two versions of MAREO in .rar archives.
The Mareo.rar archive is version 5.0
The Mareo6b2.rar is version 6.
I was only able to get what I wanted to work with version 6. But I cannot
find it available for download anywhere any longer, so I included the
archives in the zip file.
Also included is a copy of my MAREOE.INI file (the real key to using MAREO),
the command-line EAC text I use, and a copy of my EAC profile.
The only downside to using MAREO is I cannot get MAREO or EAC to delete the
.wav files after the compression cycles complete. But that has only been a
minor inconvenience. I just made a .bat file to delete all .wav file from my
compression library. Click on that and by the time I shut down EAC and start
my tag editor, the .wav files are gone.

Enjoy.
In my opinion it doesn't get better than this.

Randy -

Me too please!  I looked at MAREO and gave up before even
trying - it looked way to complicated for a non-techie.

For the record I use FLAC at home, MP3 for portables.

[James Thomas-7]

Randy,

Could you please send to me as well?  I've wanted to figure out how to use that as well.

Thanks,
Jim Thomas

I've put several items into a zip file and have attached it to this email.
I cannot upload files to the group, so just in case the attachement is not
available, I've CC-d those who directly asked for the info.
The zip file includes two versions of MAREO in .rar archives.
The Mareo.rar archive is version 5.0
The Mareo6b2.rar is version 6.
I was only able to get what I wanted to work with version 6. But I cannot
find it available for download anywhere any longer, so I included the
archives in the zip file.
Also included is a copy of my MAREOE.INI file (the real key to using MAREO),
the command-line EAC text I use, and a copy of my EAC profile.
The only downside to using MAREO is I cannot get MAREO or EAC to delete the
.wav files after the compression cycles complete. But that has only been a
minor inconvenience. I just made a .bat file to delete all .wav file from my
compression library. Click on that and by the time I shut down EAC and start
my tag editor, the .wav files are gone.

Enjoy.
In my opinion it doesn't get better than this.
