#63 flac encode fails

[Dan White]

flac encoding fails. makes a small few hundred kb file with correct meta data tags but only a few sewconds of sound. ripperx instaled with apt-get from ubuntu 14.04 respos, ripperx reports version 2.7.3. flac command line utility makes a correct flac file from a .wav made by ripperx, but with no correct meta data tags of course.

I suffer the same issue on ripperX 2.7.3. I think we are victims of this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flac/+bug/1219087

Can you please add your name to the list of affected people? The more the earlier this might get fixed.

Someone there suggested adding "silent" as an option. RipperX has a box for extra options on the MP3-Tab. I entered "silent" there, but it did not do the trick. Any other suggestions? Is there an alternate implementation of flac, maybe?

Instituted to
Sound juicer
Which seems much faster to rip (perhaps less careful ripping? Not sure)
And also makes valid flac files ok.

cheers, Dan

Sound Juicer is fast, but the sound quality suffers. Hardly any customization offered. I've recently discovered Audex, and it seems to do the trick very nicely.

I got 2.8.0 to work on Mint 17.2 with flac using Extra Options: --best --silent

I compiled 2.8.0 from source as the distribution still has 2.7.3.
