I don't have any plans to work on Tag anymore, I use it only
occasionally nowadays and its features are enough for my needs.

I believe the source code is available for tag.  Maybe someone else could take a look at it.

• The ability to set a tag value from an external text file.  I am suggesting the format -f "<tag>=<filepath>" (as opposed to -t "<tag>=<value>")
• Proper recognition of OptimFrog files
• The ability to force other formats to use APEv2, not just Musepack

Thanks for the effort you are putting in.  It's great to have somebody working on Tag.  Unfortunately I know nothing about C++ either so can't answer your questions.  Lets hope somebody with those skills spots this topic.

When I try compiling I am getting:

• EAC uses CMD.EXE as the encoder EXE
• in the command line I add "/c C:\DOS\encode.bat" along with the EAC params (%s, etc.)
• encode.bat runs MAC.EXE
• encode.bat calls post.bat in a new window, passing it the EAC parameters
• encode.bat
  • completes, and closes
  • EAC renames "<temp>.ape" to "CDImage.ape"
  • EAC writes its log file
• post.bat
  • waits for "CDImage.ape"
  • runs PAR2.EXE
  • adds cuesheet using TAG.EXE
  • (waits for EAC log
  • adds log to COMMENT tag using TAG.EXE)

Just one small question: what about GENRE tag? When you have CUE embedded in APE, you don't really need ALBUM and ARTIST tags, since this info is already written within CUE, but genre is really needed (at least for me) 
There's a genre flag in EAC, wich could be used with external compressors: %m
I tried to add it to eac-enc.bat but failed...

• Add the genre tag (as well as Artist and Album)
  
  
• Let you select High or low quality from EAC (to compress at Extra High or Normal compression)
  
  
• Verify the ape file after TAG and PAR2 have executed
  
  
• Delete the cuesheet after it's been added as a tag

And one more question, about verification. If i don't need the LOG of verification process, then i could just use -v swich in addition to encoding parametres in eac-enc.bat? Something like thet would work:

Code: [Select]

%pathToMac% %2 %3 -t "Genre=%m" -C4000 -v

?
