...ave a residual, as long as it compensates (repeats enough) for the extra frame pool you'd have to store. >>The repetition would not be genre-dependent, but would be tempo-dependent. If would be very genre dependent for the reason I explained: samples. Say you have a drummer repeating a drumloop. If it's recorded, there's no chance the noise of the drums will correlate, it will change all the time. But if it's a drum sample, they will match. It's easy to correlate similar kickdrums, but that hardly works with cymbals. Anyway, right now I get what I wanted somewhat wor...

...ou'd find out in music out there, it would be very genre-dependent. But I'm surprised that no one really investigated this (there were old discussions in that forum). Sure, streaming is important, but it's common to fully download a song. As I wrote, I tried various compressors on a drumloop repeated 4 times, and none could benefit from this. It's only a matter of statistics to know how much often repetitions happens in music out there, but it could work more intelligently, like by normalizing matching frames maybe, to even detect repetitions at different levels. Or work in the...

Try using WavPack, http://www.wavpack.com/ This can losslessly compress 32-bit floating point WAVE-EX files, and faithfully preserves every chunk (which FLAC does not do). It is also free.

I''ve been working through the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce'' which is very heavy on Test Driven Development. As in, you have to write tests for scaffolding methods and validations and crap like that. And then they fail. And you KNOW its the test not the method. So you spend 2x the time writing a test that has to be adapted when requirements change. You
