    How do I use CLI w/FLAC.exe?

    I'm a longtime CDex user considering making the switch to dbPowerAmp. I've been w/CDex due to its ease of use and CDparanoia. But after reading a bit on HydrogenAudio about Accurate Rip and its amazing speed, I downloaded it to give it a 30-day trial.

    I figured out how to use DMC's CLI w/LAME.exe, no problem.

    I have a lot of Nero Image files I'd like to get rid of by mounting them and converting them to FLACs.

    I know that DMC has a FLAC encoder, but I'd prefer to use the executable from Sourceforge, just as I use the LAME executable from Rarewares.

    Can anyone provide a sample working command line argument?

    I know that in LAME, for example, my (purposely simple) command line is:

    [InFile] [OutFile] -V 7 --vbr-new

    How about in FLAC? I've searched the HydrogenAudio and dbPowerAmp forums, and I've reviewed the FLAC documentation on FLAC's website, but I just don't get it.

    Is it something like this (as a purposely simple example)?:

    -V -5 [InFile] [OutFile]

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried these variations, without success:

    -V -5 [InFile] [OutFile]

    [InFile] [OutFile] -V -5

    [InputFile] [Output File] -V -5

    -V -5 [InFile] [OutFile]

    The same as above, but without the -V, and also without the -5.

    Then I looked up the command lines for setting up EAC and FLAC, thinking that they may be analogous, from here:



    -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

    -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -5 %s

    Any ideas?
