A handy comprehensive set of command-line instructions for EAC 1.0.3 Options

[shantiq]

i use EAC through the current version of Ubuntu under Wine
So all the commands listed below work on Windows [change path to encoder if there is path to encoder in the command line] and the settings are written here for Ubuntu [see bottom of page to install 1.0.3 on Ubuntu]

hit F5 to see compression option Box

AFTER version 1.0 b2 all Placeholders were changed


so now for flac

-8 -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" -T "PERFORMER=%albuminterpret%" -T "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -T "ALBUMARTIST=%albumartist%" -T "DISCNUMBER=%cdnumber%" -T "TOTALDISCS=%totalcds%" -T "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" -T "COMMENT=%comment%" %source% -o %dest%

for wavpack

-hmx3 -w "Artist=%artist%" -w "Title=%title%" -w "Album=%albumtitle%" -w "Year=%year%" -w "Genre=%genre%" -w "Tracknumber=%tracknr%" -w "Performer=%albuminterpret%" -w "Composer=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=lyrics="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -w "Albumartist=%albumartist%" -w "Discnumber=%cdnumber%" -w "Totaldiscs=%totalcds%" -w "Totaltracks=%numtracks%" -w "Comment=%comment%" -w "Logfile=@file.ext" %source% %dest%

for ape [2 routes]

Route 1

• Monkey's Audio
Note: Along with the Monkey's Audio encoder we will be using Case's Wapet to write
APEv2 tags to the Monkey's Audio files.

1 Click EAC, Compression Options.
2 Click the External Compression tab.
3 Enable the Use external program for compression option.
4 Change Parameter passing scheme to User Defined Encoder.
5 In the Use file extension text box type in .ape.
6 In the Program, including path, used for compression text box type in the location
of the WAPET.EXE file or click the Browse button to locate theWAPET.EXE file.

command line:

%dest% -t "Artist=%artist%" -t "Title=%title%" -t "Album=%albumtitle%" -t "Year=%year%" -t "Genre=%genre%" "/home/yourname/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files (x86)/Monkey's Audio\MAC.exe" %source% %dest% -c3000

Alternatively Route 2 [easier]


forget wapet and ape tags; it is also happy with ID3 tags this much simpler way

tta [tick add id3 tags for tagging]

-e %source% -o %dest%

tak

Tak works in the same way as ape as it requires 2 codecs wapet.exe which writes the tags and that you already have for ape and takc.exe which you find here and in the zip

%dest% -t "Artist=%artist%" -t "Title=%title%" -t "CD artist=%albumartist%" -t "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -t "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -t "Year=%year%" -t "Genre=%genre%" -t "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -t "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" -t "COMMENT=%comment%" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Exact Audio Copy\Flac\Takc.exe" -e -p2 %source% %dest%

Alac[Audio Lossless Advanced Codec]

--no-optimize -A -i %source% -o %dest% --artist "%artist%" --title "%title%" --album "%albumtitle%" --date "%year%" --track "%tracknr%" --genre "%genre%" --comment "%comment%"
--composer "%composer%" --track "%tracknr%"

place the entire qaac folder from here into flac folder in EAC and use qaac.exe

shorten is the easiest of them all

mp3HD

(click for info)

is a hybrid format. it plays lossless in winamp with a plugin. It plays lossy
everywhere else but i include it as it is rather an oddity

CODE

-if %source% -of %dest% -br 320000

ensure you have regular mp3 lame encoder present too as it needs that for the lossy part
AND make absolutely sure that you have done this: right click on mp3hdEncoder open with
Wine and say Yes to agreement otherwise it will not work

=============================

INSTALLING 1.0.3 ON UBUNTU is a bit of a performance but follow those steps and you should be there...



SO TO INSTALL EAC 1.0 beta 3 under Wine


1. INSTALL WINE

2. Download latest version of eac

then run

CODE

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c\:/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Exact\ Audio\ Copy/
regsvr32 sql*

which will give you in your terminal

~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Exact
> Audio Copy$ regsvr32 sql*
> Successfully registered DLL sqlceca35.dll
> DllRegisterServer not implemented in DLL sqlcecompact35.dll
> Successfully registered DLL sqlceoledb35.dll
> DllRegisterServer not implemented in DLL sqlceqp35.dll
> DllRegisterServer not implemented in DLL sqlcese35.dll

3. At this point 1.0 will appear but may not see your cd drive


to remedy that

CODE

sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0

CODE

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Add this line at bottom on a new line

CODE

/dev/sr0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec   0 0

save

Go to:

Applications/Wine/Configure Wine/Drive/Add a new drive [ call it D or whatever is not already in use]

and do this

now your drive is visible!

Reason for edit: removing violation of TOS #8; adding requested amendments

[shantiq]

Improved info on previous post: untick id3 box on fhgaac and the files will play on all players
do tagging with an audio tag editor afterwards and that is sorted


So fhgaac.exe will provide a perfect HE-AACv2 file

There are 2 more routes here
NeroAacEnc


place neroAacEnc in your codec folder
code line

CODE

-if  %source%   -of %dest%  -br 38000

Again you can tick id3 but will limit players so best not to and tag with audio tag editor afterwards


route number 3 uses fdk aac from Frauenhofer

there are no binary made available but it can be made from the source here

the copyright is here

this one is better than the previous 2 as it allows tagging directly [no horsing around with post rip tagging]


code is

CODE

-b 38k  -a 1 -p 29  --ignore-length   %source% -o %dest%   --artist "%artist%" --title "%title%" --album "%albumtitle%"  
--date "%year%"  --genre "%genre%"  --comment "%comment%"   --composer "%albumcomposer%"

so here are 3 routes to rip to HE-AACv2 on EAC
