To configure REACT to use an encoder that is not supported with the original INI and CFG files you will need to make changes to both the INI and CFG file you require.

Below you will find additional text that you will need to add to your config files to use TAK with REACT. This is meant as an example, to demonstrate what is required to add any codec that you choose. The naming schemes and meta data used are based on the examples in the initial INI and CFG files; you may want to change them to fit your methodology.

REACT.ini

Settings

Specify that we want to use TAK as our image format.

ImageExt=tak

UserTrackFormats

Specify that we want to encode tracks using TAK.

Tak=1

UserOutputNames

Specify the directories for TAK images and tracks.

ImageDir_Tak=@OutRoot@\TAK-images\$cdartist$
TrackDir_Tak=@OutRoot@\TAK\$cdartist$\[$year$] $album$

UserSettings

Specify any encoding options and the version used.

Opt_Tak=-pN
Ver_Tak=1.0.1


REACT-image.cfg

REM ** Transfer RG values from Wavgain calculations, instead of recalculation.

Add the text below under the comment above, with the other similar lines.

SET RG_Tak=-t "replaygain_album_gain=%album_gain% dB" -t "replaygain_album_peak=%album_peak%"
SET RG_Tak_acdir=-t $qreplaygain_album_gain=%album_gain% dB$q -t $qreplaygain_album_peak=%album_peak%$q

REM ---- Image ----

Add the text below under the comment above, with the other similar lines.

As TAK does not yet support inline tagging this section uses takc.exe to encode, and then tag.exe to add APEv2 tags to the newly-created TAK file. You will need to add takc.exe and tag.exe (version 2.0.49 or above) to your REACT tools directory.

IF NOT @ImageExt@==tak GOTO end_tak_image
	SET dest="@ImageDir_Tak@"
	IF NOT EXIST %dest% MKDIR %dest%
	IF %embed_cover%==1 SET Cover_tag=--picture="|image/jpeg|||@cover@"
	@tools@\takc.exe -e @Opt_Tak@ "@source@" "@image@"

	MOVE /Y "@image@" %dest%
	MOVE /Y "@cuesheet@" %dest%
	IF %have_cover%==1 COPY /Y "@cover@" %dest%\"@basename@.jpg"
:end_tak_image

REM ---- Tracks ----

Add the text below under the comment above, with the other similar lines.

This section uses ACDIR to create TAK track files. It is complicated by the fact that TAK does not yet support piping, or inline tagging. The section uses ACDIR to first split the image WAVE into tracks WAVEs, and then uses ACDIR again to execute mutiple commands for each track, these being:

  1. Use takc.exe to encode the relevant track WAVE.
  2. Use tag.exe to add APEv2 tags to the TAK file.
  3. Delete the WAVE file.
IF NOT @Tak@==1 GOTO end_tak_tracks
	SET dest="@TrackDir_Tak@"
	IF NOT EXIST %dest% MKDIR %dest%
	PUSHD %dest%
