Ape Ogg

[Gerard]

(Rasta Man) 

A few questions suggestions.

How about Ape Ogg? 

When that is not possible how about a converter Ape-Flac for those. (Like the Flac-Wav-Flac at the moment)

It could be very handy when it could be possible to select all or a few let's say Ape albums to convert. Upper most handy would be that the original file's after extract are deleted. (First question "Delete original file's??)

(So that there is a new album made or the new extract file's are put in the old album)

That would make things a whole lot easyer.

I also wish xxhighend supported ape. However, I would rather have development time spent on audio quality. You can easily convert ape and ogg with J. River Media Jukebox. It is free and is developed by the same person (Matt Ashland) that made the ape format. You can save or delete the original files. You can also use it to rearrange your file and folder structure including the way you name the files.

Hi all,

.Ape files just won't do for xx, because it takes too long to decompress to wav.
Because xx does this before playback and then takes the file to C: drive.
Flac converts a track in 1-2sec range and ape in the 4-10 sec range, or something like that.

But I hear Gerard...........

Still thinking just is doable............

just load an .ape or .ape/cue in xx, correct the cue-sheet (as in .wav to .ape)
This is because when people rip an cd with EAC, an then convert to ape, the cue-sheet still revers to CDimage.wav
But the file is CDImage.ape.

This is most anoying, so convert to wav first, or correct the cue-sheet in a txt-compiler. (just change .cue in .txt)

But just whatever input you give,
because there is alot, wmv,alac,flac,wav,ape,tta,wv,m4a or with other words lossless, with or without cue-sheet.

xx should just output flac (or wav) to the same folder and delete originals.
This to get seperate FLAC tracks, but this is just a personal choice.

And maybe do this as batch-encoding, the whole bunch @ once

Makes my live a bit easier


Just think about it

- Only create a folder.jpg, back.jpg and folder-structure. (size or type doesn't matter)
- Then let xx convert all lossless files to for eg. seperate tracks FLAC.
- Then use Tag&Rename to make/re-make your track-names, this goes pretty fast. (maybe future implementing, or db acces would be great)
- Then let xx convert all cover-art to jpeg.
- Then resize all folder.jpg files to "smaller" size (This is in next version already)
- Then resize all other cover-art to "normal" size (This also in next version )
- Then create gallery

Commence playback........................................

Just another Q,

Does xx makes full use of a Quad-core (so using 4 cores) to convert to wav,
When going to Unattended mode ?

This is because, when using Dbpower Amp music converter only 1 core is used.
But when converting to FLAC in Foobar, 4 cores are used.

Well let's say 75% for SQ and the rest for these less importend things.  What you say about JJ is treu but when you have a lot and i mean really a lot albums that needed to be extract than a bulk extract would be real nice. Just one click and everything is converted to Flac or Wav and the original file's are deleted.

When in Jukebox you press Ctrl+A to select all files. Then right click and select Library Tools > Convert Format. Click Options to choose format and whether to delete original files. Now click start. With the paid version, J. River Media Center 14 (you get a 30 day free trial), you get some more advanced options and you can set how many files you want to convert simultaneously. This way you can max out all threads on a multi-core processor.

I just download Jukebox and it took about two minutes to download and install. It took another 1 minute 15 seconds to import 4072 songs. To get ready to convert all of them to FLAC took an additional 15 seconds.

You can, however, wait for this feature to be available in xxhighend.

Yes, but due to a bug in 0.9y-4 only one core is used in that version. Thi is fixed for 0.9y-5.

I use xrecode to convert files (all types) to flac, then if needed i edit the tags.
Still do after i found out that xxhe can do reencoding.

[AUDIODIDAKT]

Thnx Telstar

xrecode can do just the thing I want, this is so much better.
Oh yes, all @ once

And using multiple-cores!

This is just great,thank you

Thnx Telstar

Merry Christmas, Roy!
