Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

I hardly ever download mp3, I prefer FLAC. So when I find hard to find albums, I don't mind if it takes a day or two.

Likewise, patience is a virtue when seeking harder to find material.
I share over 380 flac files nowadays. I'm sure that will get up to 500 before end of year. I sometimes give choice between both mp3 or flac, depending on the person's own preference. Some of my flac are less than half the size of original aif files, the rest 55-65% of original uncompressed size. I also id3 tag all my flacs.

Oh no, never ever ID3-tag FLAC files. Use Vorbis comment which won't mess with some hardware players and will allow retagging. E.g. Tag&Rename will read the vorbis not ID3, but Foobar2000 will allow the ID3 to override + in perfect rips. ID3-tag might even mess with a perfect burn i.e. not a source=copy. Source being the actual physical CD first ripped.

I missed that article. Do you have links to such expert information that pours acid on taggers that add information to flac files?
I use Media Rage to add tags to different types of files. Media Rage

I could just as easily go back to using Apple Lossless. Just limits who can use them. If FLAC is so affected by tags, then it was definitely a mistake to start using FLAC. It shows FLAC's limitations compared to Apple Lossless that players or burners should be affected by such minor issues as tag information. iTunes cannot play FLAC for example which is my main player.

From version changes: What's New in 3.4? Release Date 2008.03.14

- [Feature] Added support for the Vorbis/Flac comments "ALBUMSORT" and "ARTISTSORT" using by SlimServer devices.

What's New in 2.3? Release Date 2005-12-21

- [Feature] Support viewing/editing the COMPILATION comment in Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files.

BTW it might also depend on FLAC version.

The problem is many encoders add vorbis and ID3 cause problems.

Quote:
* Add ID3 tag: Unchecked.

It is very important that you do not check this option. The tags will be added by the use of a command line (which is different for FLAC, mp3 and Ogg Vorbis, see EAC Lossy Setup Guide for the latter). Adding anything but Vorbis comments (FLAC Tags) to FLAC and Ogg Vorbis files will make them unplayable by some players. (To be sure, the files may be OK even if you have checked this option, provided that you have not checked some options under 4d. ID3 Tag as well. Still, you need to open the files in a hex editor in order to check if they are really free from ID3 headers. It is much better to simply keep this checkbox unchecked.)
EAC Setup Guide

This is the official ripping guide for any site that has proper FLAC

As for the Foobar2000 it's personal experience after having edited the tags on 100s of badly tagged rips in Tag&Rename. As well as trying it out myself by checking that option. As for exactly what players can't play or display ID3 I don't know or care. I just make sure to follow that guide except for naming scheme.

I do everything Tracknumber - Title or Tracknumber - Artist - Title for various artists CD's. Also I name the folder Artist - Album (Year) [FLAC] {Other info e.g. catalog number} as per Pedro's and E naming scheme rules. I can't link to that.

I would find some more extensive discussion on it if I wasn't going out. But I'm sure you would find something about it on Hydrogenaudio.

iTunes can play FLAC, but I have no idea if it's by using some plugin or if it's only in Windows or anything like that.

Edit: What better place to find answers than the actual FLAC FAQ:

Quote:
What kinds of tags does FLAC support?

FLAC has it's own native tagging system which is identical to that of Vorbis. They are called alternately "FLAC tags" and "Vorbis comments". It is the only tagging system required and guaranteed to be supported by FLAC implementations.

Out of convenience, the reference decoder knows how to skip ID3 tags so that they don't interfere with decoding. But you should not expect any tags beside FLAC tags to be supported in applications; some implementations may not even be able to decode a FLAC file with ID3 tags.

I noticed in all the changes with FLAC in the tagger I use, same changes were made with Vorbis in same sentence (there was a few other mentions other than I quoted). I don't know if my tagger does use extra id3 tagging, but do recall they removed one option for tagging FLAC to comply with FLAC changes.

Windows only guide lol Unfortunately my tagger does not specify or give options about whether it is using vorbis comments or id3 tag.

I'd like to know more about that. There was Ogg Vorbis works done for mac osx for each of iTunes & QuickTime. However work has not been continued on those projects in a few years at least. I used the vorbis plug-in option for iTunes on my previous mac.

Many programs have limitations of some sort or another. Looks like Foobar2000 has some limitations of its own. Lack of foresight in their programming.

As I hinted at earlier, there are apparently different versions of FLAC. Perhaps the earlier version encoders cannot cope with the added information (earlier version flac libraries). I use Switch for my encoding. I can say Toast Titanium, the best burner program for Mac appears to have no problem with my FLAC files (just tried burning some.)

But points taken.

Yeah, I know Windows only sucks, but a program for Mac called CDParanoia should do the trick on a Mac.

For years and years Mac could not do Proper FLAC, but now with the Intel engines and ability to install EAC on a Mac (by using switches), there should be no problems.

It gives me a link to Max, which I already have. lol I previously listed Max on alternate audio program section for OSX. It reads the flac tags/comments I'd already added with Media Rage.

BTW did you see FLAC - download where Media Rage is listed at the official FLAC site.

And there you are jumping down my throat about me using Media Rage to tag FLAC files.
It also mentions Toast Titanium.

It does not mention Switch, however I only use it for converting.

I never said Media Rage was bad for tagging files or jumped down anyones throat. I just said FLAC files should not be ID3 tagged.
