wget ices*bz2 fgrep ./* -e "speex" ? fgrep ./* -e "ogg" ? Can't remember the exact lib name(s), but speex is very similar to vorbis/ogg lib implementations. So whomever wrote ices, would probably have a pretty easy time incorporating it. Well, before I do anything, I still need to get my program outputting usable metadata.

Due to time constraints, he has no plans to add Speex support. Roger, are you a programmer? Would you be willing to create a patch for Ices? It would be much appreciated. -Ivo
Hi, I've not messed much with Speex, so don't know the answer to this. Would Speex have the kind of metadata capabilities you're looking for? I don't ever recall reading about the equivalent of Vorbis comments in Speex. Geoff.

Vorbis Comments should probably be renamed to Ogg Comments, because most if not all Xiph codecs (e.g. FLAC and Theora) use it in some form. God, I hope I'm not wrong about this; lately I have said so much crap that turned out to be untrue.

But after looking at both codecs, figure much might be able to be copied into place. I'm currently working on a project now, but in the future, I might consider incorporating speex *if* time permits. But, I'm guessing somebody else is going to beat me to this task as it doesn't look entirely difficult and other speex users/devs have a more imminent need then me! ;-) -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Fri Jul 20 17:01:08 PDT 2007
