Any tips on that anywhere ?

Just download the normal iTunes or Quicktime installer from the website, change the extension to .zip and extract the AppleApplicationSupport.msi. Install that, ???, PROFIT.

LOL somekind of conspiracy I try & download quicktime, nothin' happens  . Is there anyway to get WMC to play FLAC & ALAC? I would use foobar as a MC but I dunno how to get remotes to work with it  .

With makeportable from nu774 you don't need to install anything.

Thanks,
Alternatively, you can try makeportable.zip at the cabinet page (bat file only, 7z.exe is not included).


QAAC cabinet page

If you don't find a "makeportable.zip" there, I don't know what your meaning of "searching" is.

Unpack "makeportable.cmd" to a separate directory, copy the QuickTimeInstaller.exe next to it, have 7-zip installed, run the CMD. The result will be unpacked to a folder "QTFiles". Its content should be copied to the QAAC x86 installation folder, I believe....

Thanks, I didn't 'click' the cabinet, all working perfectly according to your instructions, thanks very much  !!!

Hi,
I would like to keep my lossless (FLAC) and my lossy (m4a) library in sync, the lossless one obviously being the master.
Using qaac with foobar allows me to select that files marked for conversion which already exist in the target directory are skipped. I could not find any way to delete files in the target directory that do not have a corresponding file in the source directory (in case I renamed a directory in the lossless library for example).
Is there a way to do this with qaac / foobar?
Thanks and regards
Rudi

This will certainly not be the responsibility of QAAC, which is an encoder, not a file manager... But you may be able to handle that in a batch file. Briefly (not complete, without warranty):

Code: [Select]
FOR %%a IN (*.aac) DO IF NOT EXIST "%%~na.flac" DEL "%%a"


But I would be afraid of automatically deleting files.

Hello,

I have a new PC :-)
But when I want to make AAC files from FLAC files by e.g.
Quote
"PATH\qaac.exe" -V91 -q2 -r keep --verbose "PATH\FILENAME.flac"
I get the following error message:
Code: [Select]
qaac 2.41, CoreAudioToolbox 7.9.8.6
ERROR: Not available input file format

What is wrong?
AFAIK the only thing which is new is 64 bit vs 32 bit Windows 7 on the old PC.

sounds like you're missing libFLAC.

if I remember correctly, just put the DLLs from a libFLAC compile into the same folder as QAAC and try again.  rarewares has the libFLAC DLLs for download under lossless.

or, decode your FLAC files to WAV files first.

Of course I downloaded x64DLLs_20120131.zip and extracted into the same folder as QAAC before I tryed it, so libFLAC.dll was already in the same folder as QAAC!
I can't compile myself as I don't have a compiler.
I downloaded flac_dll-1.3.0-x64-icl.zip from rarewares, extracted, but get "libFLAC_dynamic.dll" and "libFLAC_dynamic.lib"?

I know, but I want to avoid this  additional step and it worked without it on the old PC.

qaac is 32-bit, so it can't use 64-bit dlls.

Oh, I thought on a 64-bit OS you need 64-bit dlls...
I'll try the 32-bit versions and report later.

Edit:
It works!
Although the files have names like "libFLAC_dynamic.dll" and "libFLAC_dynamic.lib".
Thank you!

Thanks, LigH,
I'll try that on one or two subdirectories. I can always encode the files again, if something goes wrong.

If I use qaac.exe from the Free Encoder Pack will I need to copy the three non-MS DLLs from the official qaac zip or will they be integrated as well?

I noticed the qaac.exe from the encoder pack is larger in size than the one from nu774

Maybe statically linked?
BTW: Which encoder pack are you talking about?

I am NOT talking about the MS runtimes but about the other three DLLs.

Why don't you simply give it a try without them?
If it works, you know you don't need these other three DLLs.
If it doesn't work, install them and you are done.

The other three are only for resampling, qaac will resample anyway not using SoX if the three are not used but I'm not sure how to test pushing them. That's why I need nu774 or Case to reply

What do you mean with "test pushing them"?

Sorry I meant forcing them (the three SoX DLLs) and not the integrated resample (I guess Apple's?).

I don't resample anyway, I'd just like to know how Case's qaac.exe is made. My guess is that is not even possible to integrate the SoX DLLs and he modified qaac to work with older, integrated MS runtimes compatible with XP.
