Full Version: how to import a eac logfile into flac from command line
Hydrogenaudio Forums > Lossless Audio Compression > FLAC
dissociative
I'm going to encode a flac file with embeded cuesheet, in a folder I have the following files by example:

Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.cue
Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.log
Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.wav

for encoding the flac file I use this command:

flac -V -8 --cuesheet="Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.cue" "Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.wav"

but I don't know if I can use an additional command line parameter for importing the Exact audio copy logfile into the resulting flac file, the only way that I use for embedding the eac logfile is to copy the logfile contents and place them in a new tag called EAC-LOGFILE using foobar2000.

You need to usee --tag-from-file.

CODE
flac -V -8 --cuesheet="Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.cue" --tag-frome-file="EAC-LOGFILE=Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.log" "Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.wav"

Also, note that many users prefer to use a Vorbis comment to store the cuesheet, as using the cuesheet block will mean that the meta data is lost from the cuesheet.

You could, of course, use both:

CODE
flac -V -8 --cuesheet="Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.cue" -T "CUESHEET=Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.cue" --tag-frome-file="EAC-LOGFILE=Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.log" "Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.wav"
