Hi all,

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here in converting some CDs over to individual FLAC files. I end up with an artist/album directory with "correctly" named wav files & with FLAC files that have names like 0tmp07!55.flac and 0tmp842(2.flac. Checking the properties of these files shows that zero tag information has gone into the FLAC file.

I have setup EAC as per the recommendations on this site, and I'm following that site in its conversion instructions. As per advice on hydrogenaudio I have changed the EAC FLAC extension to .fla (which from the filenames above either EAC or FLAC is ignoring).

The FLAC command line options EAC is sending FLAC are:

-V -8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

How do I get FLAC to properly name the files & encode the tag information?

Using EAC v0.95 beta4 and FLAC v1.1.4

And you are sure all converting is done when you close eac ? Since ripping the tracks to wav and converting those wav's to flac can be done simultaneously. In the eac status bar there's a line that says x compression tasks left. When that line disappears all converting is done. The fact eac says audio extraction is complete doesn't mean all actions are done. Closing eac in process will leave you with some flacs and some wav's
