Re: Tagging FLAC files |
"Will your md5 checker now be able to read ffp's to ensure the integrity of the whole fileset or will we need to generate both now?
There's a pending feature request to get FFP files to be used for verification/auto-email that's been open for years now, it's just low on the priority list of the engineers (I wish I knew how to play with this stuff). xtifr's script will help shorten the time it takes them to get it done, my fingers are crossed that this will be enough to get the ball rolling."
So they can't get that working, and a year and a half later they still haven't figured out a way to allow streaming/lossy copies of older shows but now we're being inconvenienced immediately by having to generate 2 checksums just because they haven't figured out how to get the md5 checker to check ffps and just possibly at some great mythical point in the future they might figure out a way to implement metaflac. I have the upmost confidence in that ever happening.

I like to think of it more as growing pains. This thing is *still* free to use and we appreciate the patience of all of our patrons. There are things that have been waiting in the wings since the LMA's inception and they still haven't shown up for me, such as a new categorical listing of shows, but I have faith that one day, they will come. They have built it, we have come. Now we just wait to see what new stuff can be tossed in the mix. In the meantime, we do what we have to do to fill our (shared) need to fulfill our live music hobby.
Also, ffp's and md5's aren't all *that* time consuming to create. They do take an extra 2 or 3 minutes depending on how many files you have but I was including both with flac shows before it was required by the LMA. It's just good practice. The more ways we can prove that a file is legitimate and pure, the better, I say.
best,
