CDex ripping to FLAC format

By Ruben on Aug 16, 2010 | In Joomla | 1 feedback »

In this article http://lee.org/blog/2005/04/26/how-to-use-cdex-and-flac-together/ the author explains how to rip tracks from CD to the popular compressed lossless FLAC format.

In my configuration the 'On the fly' ripping feature yields problems. In Winamp tracks become 2 hours long instead of a few minutes.

To solve this, I use these settings in CDex configuration -> tab Encoder.
Encoder path:

C:\Program Files\FLAC\flac.exe

Parameter string:
-8 -V -o "%2" -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%b" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%tn/%tt" -T "genre=%g" %1

File extenstion:
flac

Disable (do not check):
On-the-fly encoding and Send WAV header to stdin

You require this (free) software:
http://cdexos.sourceforge.net
http://flac.sourceforge.net
