For transcoding from flac to vorbis (one album), I run the following command in the album's directory:
Code: [Select]
oggenc -q5 *.flac && vorbisgain *.ogg

The above code only works under csh, tcsh, and their variants. For bash/ksh and other "default" shells, replace the "&&" with ";", as in
Code: [Select]
oggenc -q5 *.flac; vorbisgain *.ogg
.


Incorrect, the above DOES work in bash.  Using ";" will work as well, but using "&&" ensures that if oggenc somehow fails, then vorbisgain will never be executed.  When you use ";", vorbisgain will be executed regardless.

i thought I'd give linux a try today, so I set it up using microsoft virtual pc 2004!

I installed mandrake (as its supposed to be the easiest to use)  

But I have been unsuccessful in getting the audio to work, it says something like, unable to find an audio device?

I'm using it with gnome, because I wanted to try getting rhythmbox to work, and I think rhythmbox only works with gnome?

and ideas?

ok.... so I guess you are using a mac?
In that case, you should try & install a PPC version of linux, 'cause running a x86 inside VPC is just silly :-)

Plus, you can't really expect to have a x86 version of linux that supports mac audiocards...
But if there is, you should try modprobe (audiocard-module)

in that thread kritip talks about SoX - a transcoding-tool. never used it myself, though.



edit: okay, though certain guys think this thrad is useless, I'd like to provide a link to a page, where one makes use of various (shell+SoX-)commads to get multiple file-formats converted into others.
it's located here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5894

I have been looking around for replacement tools on the GNU/Linux platform which could ease the pain of retiring win32 tools such as Foobar2k, EAC and FLACattack.
So far no media player seems to come close to Foobar2000 in terms of features / extensions (components). What I found out however, is that many cool scripts exist which tie smaller applications together to provide a certain automation to a particular process.

cdparanoia looks like a fine replacement for EAC and provides similar functionality. Many media players are still undergoing heavy developement and frequent updates. In fact, I am very pleased with the direction most of them are going in. FLACattack has various replacements that do very similar things. The best one I found so far is Flac-archive 2 which also offers transcoding capabilities (MP3).

It is not fair to expect the open source community to provide an application that replicates the functionality of each and every win32 app. Most of the functionality Foobar2000 offers exists in one form or another on GNU/Linux.

this thread is useless and any actual redeeming value would be off-topic

for a linux-support (etc) thread, this thread should be split up /hint: moderation


later

Code: [Select]
for i in *.flac; do filename=`echo $i | sed 's/\.flac/\.aac/g'`; flac -sdc $i | faac -q100 - -o $filename; done



with the command-line mentioned above it is possible to convert nearly any format to another, as long as piping is supported.

sadly, the latest faac for linux doesn't support m4a/mp4 output as far as I remember, or does it?
