I just bought an I Audio mobile device (Btw, these thigns are the coolest players on the face of the earth.. might want to check em out). It plays ogg vorbis files rather nicely. My whole music library is sitting in flac format. When I encoded my flac files (the majority a year ago) I used replay gain to save the album and track information if the flac file.
Unfortunately, the I audio doesnt like the replay gain headers (I'm submitting a bug report over there to get this fixed). So, my only option right now is to use vorbisgain to strip the replay info out of the ogg file thats generated when i use oggenc to cross code from flac to ogg vorbis (oggenc correctly transfers the replay gain tags over to the ogg file... and vorbis gain can strip them out of the ogg file). I played with vorbis gain a bit and realized that I saved my flac files in flacs native wrapper. For fun I decoded a flac file, and rencoded it using --ogg --replay-gain so I could then use vorbis gain to manipulate a flac/ogg file directly. Yes, I know it doesnt have much to do with my problem but I was jsut playing around trying to decide maybe if I should recontainer from native flac to ogg. Anyways, this is the output: flac --best --replay-gain --ogg test.wav flac 1.1.1, Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002,2003,2004 Josh Coalson flac comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
