I am sorry I do not understand the question.
Download and install ASIO4all, download and install the latest foobar. Foobar places itsel into the Program Files directory. So... in Program Files -> Foobar 2000 there is a component directory. Download the three components, fooASIO, wasapi, and ks, unzip them and copy the .dll files into the component directory. Once you start foobar it will recognize them as a part of itself. Now start foobar and you can go to File -> Preferences -> Output and choose which one to use. WASAPI should be the siomplest to start with ASIO requires some fiddleing.

Download dbPoweramp and isntall it. Fiddle with it and see how to rip into flac and get the tagging the way you want it.

Thanks!

Time 00:30 and just arrived at home from the Green Day concert in Stockholm. Now looking at Patriots vs Broncos. How good can it be.

Yea I was just wandering if those small Dlls was all that should be put into Foobar to get the things going, and it seems that so was the case. I had imagine some software with an exe file, lots of GUI etc.

billyk, I come back with a verdict when I have tried and listened. Thanks for Your support

I have now converted 6000 WAV files to FLAC files in a batch during a day when a was away (20 hours). The program worked great, but no metadata were created.

If I read the information in and about dbPoweramp it should use three different ways of tagging files (ID-tags etc) but I guess it ony reads from the origianl CD as the WAV file as empty of that kind of information. So I guess I´m lost anyway when it comes to CD information . . . Damned :-)

The sound? - The same !

The needed diskspace ~30% less

The Sound? Haven´really desided yet. Foobar acts a little bit strange with the plugins. The ASIO shows on different places both were its possible to choose output direction and in another set up place as well where it must be clicked in or the player is absolutely quiet.

Haven´t had the time to really listen yet. Just been fiddleing around for a short while to try to understand why it look and act that it does....

Maybe a first reaction to the sound would be - Ligher and maybe more "air". Both not really what I need at the moment as i switched to balanced silver fourtwinned signal cables a while ago and they are a little more "light and airy" than I really wanted.

Try mp3tag, a great freeware app that looks up the metatdata for albums and stuff from places like Amazon. It will help add the tags to your new flac files.

Winamp also has autotagging. You can move a bunch of files into the winamp playlist, select all the files in the playlist, right click, hit 'send to', and choose 'autotag'

It has worked the best for me out of all the autotagging routines I have tried.

Sharkythefrog · 14th October 2009, 01:28 PM

Thanks again guys,
I´ll try out both of them to descide which one to use.

The sound FLAC or WAV ? ->The same
The sound with Foobar plugins (ASIO etc) or not? -> Little bit lighter, more air (possible thanks to less distorsion)

You guys in US (or UK) where is the best place to buy Thiel&Parnter loudspeaker elements. Need "a few" C220-T6´s for a small project. No one on ebay, and can´t google up any good place for buying these element (that also ships abroad).
