How can I create FLAC fingerprints using the 'flac' program under Linux?

Hello.

Are you using Fedora?

see here:

and also

Nevermind, I figured it out - you need to use metaflac instead.

Yep!

For anybody else curious, open terminal in folder containing flacs and type:

Code:

metaflac --show-md5 *.flac>fingerprints.ffp

This will create a textfile (suffixed ffp) that contains your fingerprints.

As a side note, you can do a lot of useful things with lossless files (flac, shn) using the etree-scripts package (search for it in your package manager, or using your search engine of choice).

You have to type using lixus? Egads.

Nah, for the splashy typists amongst us, open a terminal and then copy and paste

Code:

metaflac --show-md5 *.flac>fingerprints.ffp

Or even write a fancy shell script, and associate it with .flac files in the desktop environment, making it second or third right-click option (leaving a media player as first option).

What's lixus?

Oh, thanks. I thought it was called a Rixus.....

No, the Rixus is a motorised rickshaw, but lacks aircon and stereo. I hope this helps.
