Installation instructions:

Requirements:

Free lossless audio codec (FLAC) version >1.0 is required (http://flac.sourceforge.net/). You only need the binaries and not the development package at this point.

Installation:

Copy the gen2flac and flac2gen binaries in a directory that is system-wide accesible (that is, /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin).

Copy the readgenflac.* file to a directory within the matlab search path to enable the Matlab reader. Type "readgenflac" in Matlab to see the usage instructions.

Usage:

Compress/uncompress single file:
gen2flac genesis-file.bin [output-file.genflac] flac2gen comp-genesis-file.genflac [uncomp-output-file.bin]

Batch operation:
gencompress.sh: compress many files
genuncompress.sh: uncompress many files
