Program with GUI
- media-sound/flacon is probably the easiest option and can convert most audio files.
Conversion of an APE or FLAC file to a list of OGG / MP3 files
- The easiest way is to use the cueape.sh script (renamed to cueape) in the following way (-o is for Ogg encoding):
cueape "Falconer - The Sceptre Of Deception-shen.flac" "Falconer - The Sceptre Of Deception [FLAC].cue" -o
- You will need the Gentoo packages media-libs/flac, media-sound/vorbis-tools, media-sound/mac and media-sound/mp3splt.
Converting mp3 to wav
lame --decode file.mp3 file.wav
Converting a WAV file with a CUE sheet
shnsplit -f file.cue file.cue.wav -o "flac ext=flac flac -s -o %f -"
- You will need the Gentoo package media-sound/shntool.
Obtaining information about tags in a media file
- You can run ffprobe to print the list of tags in the file:
ffprobe file.mp3
- To wipe / strip all tags in case of problems (severe bugs):
id3convert --strip file.mp3 # for MP3 files vorbiscomment -w -t "artist=" file.ogg # for OGG files
- These tools are in Gentoo packages media-libs/id3lib and media-sound/vorbis-tools.
