Beware: Still Life and Blackwater park albums are both one big FLAC instead of individual tracks. Baaaad :(

Try to open those "big FLAC files" with foobar2000 and you'll find out that they are separated you can even separate them yourself using the convert tool in foobar2000

You need the cue file to open the large files to convert them into singles in Foobar

in this case you don't need a cue file it's embedded in the FLAC file so just put the flac file in foobar and say thanks :)

Not everyone uses Foobar. Posting something created for software not in majority usage is less than ideal.

sorry but i'm not perfect so if you want something "ideal" go look somewhere else.

Calimieero2, can you do me a favor and look at Demon of the Fall (Track 6) on My Arms, Your Hearse, and tell me if there's a skip at about 5:37? I'd like to know if I need to redo the download for that song or if it was a bad recording at that spot. Thanks!

I'm new to these FLAC-files, but can i play the music with iTunes?

you need to pour at least a couple of spoons of single cream into your keyboard to use this with itunes

simple but effective

Um...

Why am I somehow nauseated by the uploader's reply comments in this thread?

Oh yeah...

Its the assumption that everyone in the world uses WINDOWS!

Thanks a lot, seeding right now! Although I did have to download Blackwater Park separately because of it being one large FLAC in this file. Otherwise great job!

Don't complain about the quality of a torrent which is obviously excellent. Because the uploader chose to convert Still Life and Blackwater Park into 1 large audio file does not give any of you the right to complain. You are obtaining this music free of charge (and a whole hell of a lot of fucking music at that) so shut your fucking mouths and appreciate what this person and other's like him are doing.

They are risking their necks uploading for someone like you and me, who more times than not return their kindness with criticism and discontent. They don't even know the people they're sharing with and yet they feel compelled to do so anyway.

Respect the uploader and try to figure out a way to fix what you feel is an "inconvenience" or politely ask for help, but do not complain or put down such an awesome torrent or it's uploader.

Thank you Calimieero2; it is because of your good taste in quality file containers (FLAC) and music and your kind gesture to share this amazing band with me that Opeth has now become my most favorite band!

Please can someone seed this for a little? There whole swarm is stuck at 83% as there are no current seeds....

Tried to convert to mp3 in foobar:

2 out of 79 tracks converted with major problems.

Hi!

Thank you for this upload!

I can't figure out how to split the two large .flac-files into separate files in foobar. Maybe someone can help me with a simple tutorial :). When I open the files foobar shows them as separate files. Where is the "split-option"?

Here is the deal
First, download "FLAC encoder" from here
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.2.1b.exe

Install it and remember where you installed it cuz we'll need a file from the installation folder called "FLAC.exe" later.
----------------------------------------------------
Second, download "foobar" from here
http://www.foobar2000.org/files/7ee8e02bd253d19371a22614af56107f/foobar2000_v1.1.exe

Install it (very easy)
run it and drag the .FLAC file to the main window and drop.
select all the files and right click, choose "Convert".
From the "converter Setup" menu click "Output format", choose FLAC, then click "edit", and push the slider all the way to the right, click "OK", then click "back".
From the "converter Setup" menu click "Destination" and make sure "Convert each track to an individual file" is selected, click "Back"
From the "converter Setup" menu click "convert".
Choose where you wanna put the files and click "save".
It will ask you for the "FLAC.exe" file, you will browse for where you installed the "FLAC encoder" and choose the file "FLAC.exe".
The program will start converting the files and you'll have your album splitted to seperate tracks with the FLAC format. So, no loss in quality and no gain in size :D
I hope I helped

Thanks, MuhammadHussam! Definitely helped me. I also added "%track - " to the destination output name format to get the track number in the file names.

Thanks, MuhammadHussam! Definitely helped me. One thing I also added was "%track% - " to the destination output name format, to get the track number in the file names. Thanks!

Thanks Calimieero! Damn, what an effort. Keep up the good work.

Linux users: the large FLACs can be split very easily on the cli. You'll need cuetools, flac and shntool. The cue file is embedded, so read the FLAC tags into a file:

metaflac --export-tags-to=tags Opeth - Blackwater Park.flac

Delete everything in 'tags' except for the cue info. Then, simply split the file:

cuebreakpoints tags | shnsplit Opeth - Blackwater Park.flac

Cheers.

Some of the discography is fucked up too. Missing songs and clones of songs - that or they are named/tagged wrong

It's a fine work. Even though, Demon of the Fall and Nectar, are kinda corrupted. Can't resize them with dBpoweramp. And, would you please add the cue file from the full albums in one file? That would great (:

I mean, that would be great, if you want a high quality torrent..
