Tools I've used to manage my FLAC-based CD archive for 10 years.
Installation is a mess because I haven't tried to make this easy for others
to use.
fa-rip
-
Rip CD (one WAV file per track or one whole-disc WAV) and fetch tags
and front album cover for all matching albums
from MusicBrainz. Sadly,
MusicBrainz always references low-res album art, so that feature is
pretty worthless.
fa-flacd
-
Watch current directory for
fa-rip output, convert WAV files to
FLAC, applying tags and album
art. Tag processing is pretty broken; one of these days I'll unify
with rewrite-tags which is better.
flac2mp3
-
Make MP3 copies of FLAC files, always one track per file, even when
input is one whole-disc FLAC file.
flacsplit
-
Quick hack to split a whole-disc FLAC file into one file per track.
Sorta works but probably need
rewrite-tags afterwards.
The oldest tool in here.
i3dv2-grep
- Grep for ID3v2 frames.
rewrite-tags
- Quick hack to ease editing of tags in FLAC files.
strip-tags
- Quick hack to strip unwanted tags from ID3v2 frames.
apic-read
apic-write
-
Quick hacks to read and write APIC frames
in MP3 files. I lost some changes a while ago and haven't used these since
then, so possibly they're broken. I'll fix them if I ever need them again.
