I've got a bunch of flac files and need to report their length. With MP3s, you use `mp3info -x $filename` But is there a way to find out the length (minutes:seconds or just seconds) of a flac audio file, without converting it to WAV first? Thanks! -- Derek Sivers, CD Baby, Hostbaby http://www.cdbaby.com <-- best new independent music http://www.hostbaby.com <-- web hosting for

Hey FLAC gang - Just thought you'd like to know CD Baby has switched to FLAC for archiving the 40,000 CDs we have in stock. Luckily HD space is down below $1/gig so we got a 6-terabyte RAID-5 box set up for about $7000. Got the FreeBSD boxes churning away night and day, ripping and archiving. I'll do a more formal press release for ya in a couple months as we're further along, but

At SxSW I ran into the Xiph gang and someone said something in passing that the new version of Ogg Vorbis would have much-improved low-bitrate quality. Wondering - true? Details? ETA? At CD Baby all lo-fi soundclips are still in the SFERA format*. At 20k bitrates, they sound GREAT which is why I stick with it, but I'd much rather switch them ALL over to OGG if there was a way to make

> Actually, I was more interested in how you set up the disk array. I think we just set up 3ware IDE raid cards with 200-gig drives, all on 1 PC for now (3/4 slots) and seems to work OK. No case would fit them so it's just sprawled out on a desk away from everything else with 4 power supplies powering the drives. When it's time to buy more disks then I'll have to set up a

Hello, I'm having some trouble working on a webapp managing the imap tree on Dovecot. The same doesn't happen on other imap servers (e.g. Cyrus). Looks like if I receive shared folders from another user, and try to rename a folder in it, the rename command returns "ok", then if you list the new folder name, it isn't there. Looks like you've lost all the original folder

Can someone who really knows the Ogg command-line encoder, help recommend the best setting for 33.6k modem stereo music streaming? (56k doesn't count cuz many people's 56k modems don't work at a full 56k, and I want them to be able to surf CD Baby at the same time as listening. 2 minutes / 120 seconds of audio should be about 400k.) I'm at my wit's end: tried everything I

There is a small configure glitch for rsync-2.5.5rc1 on Apple Darwin (== MacOS X) [ uname -a Darwin darwin.math.utah.edu 5.2 Darwin Kernel Version 5.2: Fri Dec 7 21:39:35 PST 2001; root:xnu/xnu-201.14.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc ] the config.h file gets the line #define INET6 1 The link then fails with /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _freehostent _getipnodebyaddr

I suggest gzipped XML. Feel free to suggest something that isn't XML if you dislike it that much.

So, howzabout... <data> <title xml:lang='en'>Mars, the Bringer of War</title> <title

Hi, I'm facing a strange issue using JavaMail, where Dovecot let me open "READ_WRITE" a folder with readonly ACLs (same happens on other imap servers), but then doesn't issue any error when if try to setFlags(...) on that folder. The result is that the code thinks the folder marked the messages (deleted, flagged, etc), while it actually did not. Just refreshing the folder from

The software page's only currently maintained Ogg Vorbis player for Mac-people is the iTunes plugin that seems to be for OS X only. Is there no player for Mac OS 8 or 9? <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word

I''m coming from an Oracle and SQL Server background. I''d like to use OpenSource for my next RoR project. MySQL5.x and Postgres8.1 seem to be the most popular. I''d like some comments on which would be the better choice for a production environment and why. Here are my initial concerns in order of priority: 1. Works well with RoR. ( migrations, etc) 2. Stable enough

Is there any reason to avoid using postgresql for small web apps? That is, is it''s overhead so large that the lighter MySQL will work substantially better for small apps on small machines? Or are they very similar in performance and configuration? I''ve used MySQL but postgresql has its appeals and I''m wondering if I need to keep MySQL around at all. On the other

For my MP3 files on my FreeBSD box, I can type mpg123 to play them. For WAV files, I can use wavplay, but it can't take stdin. Does FLAC have a simple command-line player for Linux/BSD anywhere?

Using newest rsync on Mac OS X: Why would THIS work: rsync -avze ssh derek@mydomain.com:/home/derek/digitize.pub ./ But THIS immediately shoot back a "No match" error: rsync -avze ssh derek@mydomain.com:/home/derek/*.pub ./ The 2nd example doesn't even try to log in. Rsync just immediately shoots back this error: rsync: No match. Wildcard DOES work locally: THIS WORKS: rsync

Did anyone have any luck compiling rsync 2.5.2, from source, on Mac OS X? Doing a straight ./configure && make, I get the error below. I've searched the lists here with no luck.
