Full Version: A script for converting FLACs?
Hydrogenaudio Forums > Lossless Audio Compression > FLAC

I was reading some threads on this forum at one point in time and people were talking about a script (batch file, I think was the word they used - I assume they're the same thing) for converting FLACs from one version to another. Does anyone know what this was? And where I can get it?

They were talking 'bout this one. It was originally designed to work with FLAC 1.1.3, hence you'll have to edit it using a text editor and change SET flacVersion=113 to SET flacVersion=114. If flac.exe wasn't in the same directory as the batch file, you'd also have to define the path to it in the SET pathToFLAC="enter path to flac.exe here" line. Having done so, dragging & dropping your FLAC directory onto the batch file will start the conversion process. As usual, it's always recommended to create a copy of a few flac files and conducting a first test with these before going for the real thing, just to make sure nothing gets screwed during the version update to FLAC 1.1.4.

Synthetic Soul has already modified the bat file to work with v1.1.4. I used it last night...very nice indeed.

I suppose a guy could use Speek's batchenc frontend to upgrade his flac files. I tested it on a few files and it seemed to work ok.
