.ape files FUCKING SUCK

WHY is it so FUCKING HARD for you idiots to encode an MP3?

I'm sick and fucking TIRED of these stupid fucking "better formats" and "uncompressed" shit. The human ear can only tell so much on a difference.

When I find a rare album that I can not find to buy and spend a week trying to download it, I expect to listen to it right away.

BUT NO!

First I had to deal with those FUCKING FLAC FILES which I had to convert to .aiff, RE-FUCKING NAME AND TAG and THEN CONVERT TO MP3.

Now there's these cunt-swabbing .ape files! ALL I WANT IS TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!

Now then. If any of you know a way that I can extract this fucking .ape file on a mac with SEPARATE TRACKS and with KANJI/HIRAGANA TAGS I'd much appreciate it.

OR! if you know of a way to get it to work on a PC where the names don't get DESTROYED when i put them on my mac.

You fucking PC users and your stupid useless formats really piss me off.

And no, xACT hasn't worked so far unless you can tell me how to make it work right.

Fuck this.

Listen to spc, problem solved AND for once you'll actually be listening to real music for once, not mp3, not wannabe wave formats where you can fucking hear the stoned shithead fucking fart as he stuggles to play his shit, the shit that is programmed to play perfectly as intended and no other format can possibly play the same thing as it. Believe it, I dare you to listen to converted spcs and say it sounds exactly the same, or even half as good as native, I'll laugh so hard in your face that when I piss from such laughter I'll be doing so right down your throat with my cock in your mouth and after I finish I will break your fucking neck.

APE has sucked ass for a long time, and, years later, is beginning to have decent support--clunky support (while FLAC has had the same decent--clunky--support for years now). I wish people would use FLAC/CUE, or tagged track files. Classical music is usually encoded with the awful-to-deal-with APE format.

APE Files are quite awful to deal with on anything but Windows. FLAC gets the same quality (and may be more flexible because of its ability to encode multitrack files and arbitrary sample rates) and has had tools using it on all platforms. And, there is a lot of out-of-the-box hardware MP3 player support for FLAC. (I think APE saves a few megabytes with large files and about a minute in encoding--though it decodes about 5 minutes more slowly--but that isn't much of an advantage if you're talking about downloading and saving 300MB files.)

Having said all that, this past year has seen cross-platform tools using APE (there is an XMMS plugin, and a Mac convertor/CD ripper Max that can read/write(?) APE).

The only way to convert APE w/CUE into multiple files is to use Windows and Foobar2000, or (on Mac) convert the APE into wav/aiff, edit the CUE, then use xACT to split (or convert APE->MP3, then use cue-splitter). (On GNU/Linux, use the Java APE crap to convert to wav, then find some shntools script to split the wav.) I think only the Windows/Foobar method gets you a one-step split, converted and tagged process.

fags, download the codecs and you wont have to worry about file extentions

I'm feeling really keen, for some of that good ol' green
