The funny thing is that through all the years of Project Runway (which my daughter steadfastly watched) and now Heidi's divorce from Seal (do I know any Seal songs?), I always come back to thinking of that creepy guy who was sure he would father Heidi's child. This was almost ten years ago, no? Jesus. So Rex, when do your kids start college?

Hey Rex, What tab are you seeing the "Advanced" menu? The first menu, decode, has two options for Output Format: AIFF or WAV The eight menu, lossy, has LAME MP3 (CBR or VBR) and AAC (CBR, ABR, VBR Constrained and VBR) The sixth menu, TAGS, is logically where I thought this would be taking place. I add the .flac files here and notice that under File: Shift+Command+L (which is grayed out): Load Track Names from an info text file. xACT will attempt to parse a text file for track names with some variation of the track number at the beginning of the line. Example: 01. Track 01 or (01) Track 1 Shift+Command +C "Load Tags From CUE Sheet" xACT will attempt to parse a CUE sheet for metadata (album, performer, title, etc.) I'm trying to figure out if i'm supposed to be using that fingerprint file or MD5 that might have this metadata embedded. Otherwise, after I do a straightforward decode and "Add to Library" in iTunes, the names on the file come in as "RH 011221 Late 101" with nothing about artist, song title, etc. - -Steve Steve Talkowski | Animation Director, Character Design & Toy Creator Blog: Sketchbot | Contact: stevetalkowski@mac.com | Twitter: stevetalkowski On Feb 10, 2012, at 2:49 PM, Rex Broome wrote: > Well, I just use the little "Create MP3" tab in the "Advanced" menu, and all the tags are preserved.

It's on Stewart's Wall. I won't be so presumptuous as to post The Marmoset Song myself! BTW, countdown to Robyn's birthday has begun -- eight minutes 'til on my time zone. How is everyone celebrating? And is it true that Andy and Robyn has the same birthday?

You can use the wonderful XLD, which has a nice way of pasting in a setlist and then setting up a parser, or - as I do - use livemp3. It's terminal only, crude, but does exactly what I want ('cos I wrote it): http://scruss.com/blog/2004/11/30/livemp3-convert-those-big-old-audio-torrents-to-something-listenable/ > Does it have > something to do with the fingerprint.ffp.text file or the md5sum.md5 > file?
