fooCDtect

fooCDtect is a plugin for foobar2000, the versatile audio player. Acting like a graphical shell for aucdtect.exe, the tool is designed to help you verify lossless audio tracks supported by the player.

It comes in handy for checking the authenticity of your purchased musical disks. The plugin takes advantage of foobar2000's conversion abilities to decode lossless audio and make the verification.

The syntax for the command-line application is fooCDtect2.exe <options> --output <filename>. In addition to specifying the name of the lossless audio track you want to check, you can configure various settings.

For example, it's possible to set the number of maximum active threads, up to 8, using --threads <max_number> (default is set to 0, which means unlimited threads). You can also set the detection mode to a number between 0 and 40 using --mode <number>, where 0 is the slowest and most accurate while 40 is on the other side of the spectrum (default is 0).

As far as other options are concerned, you can indicate a temporary folder for storing WAV-formatted audio tracks with --tpath <path> (used for temporarily decoding the lossless files for verification), as well as set the priority with --priority <0|1|2|3>, where 0 means using converter settings, 1 is idle, 2 is below normal, and 3 is normal.

fooCDtect is also capable of automatically deleting saved tracks (--autodel), changing the default log encoding mode with --lenc <1|2|3> (1 - Ansi, 2 - UTF16, 3 - UTF8).
