- Other blocks allow for padding, seek tables, and application-specific data. You can see flac options below for adding PADDING blocks or specifying seek points. FLAC does not require seek points for seeking but they can speed up seeks, or be used for cueing in editing applications. + Other blocks allow for padding, seek tables, tags, cuesheets, and application-specific data. You can see flac options below for adding PADDING blocks or specifying seek points. FLAC does not require seek points for seeking but they can speed up seeks, or be used for cueing in editing applications.
Also, if you have a need of a custom metadata block, you can define your own and request an ID here. Then you can reserve a PADDING block of the correct size when encoding, and overwrite the padding block with your APPLICATION block after encoding. The resulting stream will be FLAC compatible; decoders that are aware of your metadata can use it and the rest will safely ignore it. @@ -226,7 +226,7 @@ Encoding: flac [<general-options>] [<format-options>] [<encoding options>] [inputfile [...]]
Examples:
--skip=123 : skip the first 123 samples of the input
- --skip=1:23.45 : skip the first 1 minute and 23.45 samples of the input + --skip=1:23.45 : skip the first 1 minute and 23.45 seconds of the input
+ Stop at the given sample number for each input file. This works for both encoding and decoding, but not testing. The given sample number is not included in the decoded output. The alternative form mm:ss.ss can be used to specify minutes, seconds, and fractions of a second. If a + sign is at the beginning, the --until point is relative to the --skip point. If a - sign is at the beginning, the --until point is relative to end of the audio.
Examples:
--until=123 : decode only the first 123 samples of the input (samples 0-122, stopping at 123)
--until=1:23.45 : decode only the first 1 minute and 23.45 seconds of the input
- --skip=1:00 --until=+1:23.45 : decode 1:00 to 2:23.45
+ --skip=1:00 --until=+1:23.45 : decode 1:00.00 to 2:23.45
--until=-1:23.45 : decode everything except the last 1 minute and 23.45 seconds
--until=-0:00 : decode until the end of the input (the same as not specifying --until)
+ Import the given cuesheet file and store it in a CUESHEET metadata block. This option may only be used when encoding a single file. A seekpoint will be added for each index point in the cuesheet to the SEEKTABLE unless --no-cued-seekpoints is specified.
The cuesheet file must be of the sort written by CDRwin, CDRcue, EAC, et al.
