FLAC Album image tagging

#1

I’ve recently started moving my music collection to Squeezebox and as a result I’m either re-ripping or converting albums to FLAC single image with embedded cuesheet. I’m been looking for tools to assist with this process and came across FLACTAG (http://software.gently.org.uk/flactag-1.1/).

Do you think you could consider copying the functionality that is present in FLACTAG? I can image Jaikoz being able to handle direct conversion to/from album image to individual files well, even while maintaining metadata.

No, I think merging individual songs from an album into a single audio is rather a niche request, and not something Id be inclined to do. But maybe if I ever get the Jaikoz plugin api done, a 3rd party could provide this as a plugin

Ok, thanks anyway maybe the plugin API will be the answer. However, not really a niche request. Not a lot of gui programs that do it on Linux but Windows has has a slew of programs for this as it is becoming (if not already) the de-facto standard for CD archival (FLAC Image w/embedded cue). I wouldn’t be surprised if you eventually started getting +1s on this post.

Okay, but its very much an archival thing then because once the files are converted to this you would n’t be able to use to modify the individual songs, so I dont think it fits in that well with Jaikoz but could be done with a plugin in the future …

That’s what I thought too but apparently there is some sort of indexing that flactag employs that seems to be recognized in squeezebox and perhaps some other player software (haven’t tested fully). For example look at the attached file containing tags written to an album image.
