Fre:ac depends on the BoCA audio component framework and the smooth class library. The software is written in C. If you want to compile the source code, there’s a few hoops you’ll need to jump through. You’ll need the smooth class library (libsmooth), and BoCA. BoCA is the component framework behind the fre:ac audio converter.

This quick tutorial is going to show you how to install the free ‘fre:ac’ audio converter in Ubuntu and manually create app shortcut to be able to launch it from Unity Dash, Gnome app launcher, or other app launcher.

fre:ac is a free audio converter and CD ripper works on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and FreeBSD. It offers Linux packages but lacks application shortcut.

Download fre:ac:

1. Move the source folder to /opt/ directory for global use by running command:

Input your password (no visual feedback while typing due to security reason) when it asks and hit Enter.

Then change the ownship via command:

2. Create a symbolic link to the executable file, so you can easily run command freac to launch the software:

3. Finally run command to create and edit a .desktop file for the audio converter:

And paste below lines into the file and save it.

It’s important to add variable env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/freac-linux/ to the value of Exec, or it won’t launch the software and output error:

4. Finally launch fre:ac audio converter from app launcher (might need log out and back in) and enjoy!

How to Remove:

Ubuntu Install Fre Activator

To remove fre:ac audio converter, simply remove the source folder, symbolic link, and app shortcut by running following command:

The output file name pattern can be configured on the Encoder page of the configuration dialog. You can use backslashes to specify directories and placeholders for referring to meta information. The following placeholders are available:

Ubuntu Install Freetds

<artist> - The song artist
<title> - The song title
<album> - The album title
<disc> - The disc number
<track> - The song track number
<genre> - The song genre

<albumartist> - The album artist

<composer> - The song composer
<conductor> - The performance conductor

<year> - The year the song was published

<discid> - The CDDB/freedb disc ID

<currentdate> - The current date formatted as yyyymmdd
<currenttime> - The current time formatted as hhmm

The <disc> and <track> placeholders can be modified like <disc(n)> and <track(n)> where the (n) part specifies the minimum length of the disc or track number. Zeroes will be prepended if the actual number is too small. n may be in the range of 1 to 4 where 1 is the default for disc and 2 is the default for track numbers if the (n) part is omitted.

The above placeholders refer to song and album information. The following placeholder resolves to the type of the output file:

<filetype> - The type of the output file

A common use case for this placeholder is if you are regularly encoding to different formats (e.g. FLAC for archival and M4A for your mobile player) and would like to keep the encoded files in separate directory trees.

In addition to the above there are two placeholders that refer to the original file name of a file being encoded in fre:ac:

<filename> - The file name of the input file
<directory> - The folder the input file is found in

Ubuntu Install Freeradius

The <directory> pattern is special as you can modify its meaning using two numerical arguments. You can use it like <directory+n> or <directory+n(m)>. In these expressions, the n specifies the number of path components that should be stripped from the beginning. The m specifies the number of components to use from what is left. Omitting the (m) part will use all components left in the path after stripping n components from the beginning. <directory> without any arguments will resolve to the complete path.

Fre:ac Reviews

So how to use this in practice? Assuming you have your music collection ordered like this:

C:Music[other criteria][artist][album][track] - [title]

You might have a file called C:MusicFavoritesStarsailorSilence is Easy01 - Music was Saved.flac.

Now let's say you want to encode some music files for use on your portable player and put them in C:Encoded. In order to keep your [other criteria] field, you need to use the <directory> pattern. If your encoder output folder is set to C:Encoded, your complete filename pattern could look like this:

<directory+1(1)><artist> - <album><artist> - <album> - <track> - <title>

This would encode the beforementioned file to C:EncodedFavoritesStarsailor - Silence is EasyStarsailor - Silence is Easy - 01 - Music was Saved.m4a.
