I want to …
- … rip Audio CDs to FLAC using Exact Audio Copy (EAC).
- … include a universally unique identifier for the exact release (specific label/year/country/etc.), additionaly to common fields (like artist, etc.)
- … use the MBID (MusicBrainz Identifier) for this cause, since MusicBrainz is free and quite complete.
- … use it via command line options, like EAC tags work:
-T "VORBISCOMMENTFIELD=%eacplaceholder%" - … have this done on-the-fly during a single rip (i.e. no manual post-encoding lookup).
My problems are that …
- … the EAC FAQ lists some placeholders, but merely
%cddbid%(freedb ID) in regards to this question. - … I can’t quite find standardized Vorbis comment fields corresponding to music database identifiers (like
CATALOGID/CATALOGNUMBERor concrete CDDB/freedb/etc. IDs). - … though MusicBrainz Picard maps their tag system rather nicely …
- … EAC seems to be the bottle-neck, since it seemingly cannot convey fetched metadata arbitrarily to the encoder parameters.
Does somebody know a solution to this? Or is this too specific and ought to be asked somewhere particularly devoted to EAC?
