loss

Split and transcode lossless image files in a blink of an eye.

Dependencies

• shnsplit
• ffmpeg
• id3v2

Build

Creating an executable binary can be done with:

crystal build --release ./loss.cr

Usage

Just provide a directory path containing lossless image files with appropriate CUE sheets. loss will scan the whole directory tree in order to (firstly) split and then convert the separate tracks to mp3 format.

Notes

• Matching cue sheet file (if there is one) is found automaticaly
• loss will take info from CUE sheet and create IDv2 tags to mp3 files
• loss is spliting and transcoding files concurently in order to speed up the process (this can lead to high CPU usage if there is a massive number of image files)
• "Gap files" are automaticaly removed (pregap.mp3, postgap.mp3)
• There are still some bugs when it comes to log output (will be fixed in the future)
