[Flac] RE: Converting to 1.1.4, help please!

[Josh Coalson]

I remember that thread but I can't remember if that command is
exactly what you want.  everyone has little differences in their
situation that makes a general solution hard.  this list is not
really the place for shell tutorial, I highly recommend this
book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bash3/ and if you're on
windows, install http://cygwin.com/

otherwise, I think this comes up a lot on the slimserver forums
and people have posted other solutions.

as for that bug that required the test step first, that was
fixed in flac-1.1.4; especially if you already have a backup,
I wouldn't worry about the extra test step.
