AcoustID requires fpcalc. ID3 requires libmediainfo.

If you use the Windows installer none of this should be an issue.

Thank you, rednoah,

The Windows installer for fpcalc and libmediainfo? I would like to use the portable versions of both of them. A portable version of Mediainfo I already have on the drvie.

Is it this one: https://www.npmjs.org/package/fpcalc? Might there be a portable version also?

Many thanks again.

1.
fpcalc is a simple cmdline tool (thus "portable" by nature)

2.
libmediainfo is a library (thus "portable" by nature)

3.
Your link is about a node.js plugin (thus completely irrelevant)


I suggest that you just use the Windows Installer.

(though you just copy all the required files for your platform, like the link below the portable download says)

Many thanks again.

It's linked on the main page, right below the portable download link.

Ah, great, that's very cool. Many thanks for your great help.

Should I download all of those files and move them to the Filebot directory to use the two music rename functions: http://sourceforge.net/p/filebot/code/H ... win32-x64/?
