...to do this :) ) Hopefully, this will reduce the number of files released on the internet, re-encoded from a lossy file format. Unfortunately, many users avoid using flac, because they think the encoder is lossy due to the poor sound on some files released. Thanks in advance.

I'm busy 'till Monday morning but I'll break out the ole' diffy-q's textbook next week and do some background reading, thanks. Any clues on where in the code to look in order to put those hooks in? - Brian On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 4:08 PM, J?rgen Vigdal <jorgen at anion.no> wrote: > Hi Brian. > > Thanks for liking the idea. > > The code for doing this, could actually be fairly easy.

I have not studied the flac codebase, but I'll do some research and try to help you out. It might be stupid, but I guess a good place to start would be in the main() function, where the program receives its parameters from the command line? - J?rgen On Jan 7, 2011, at 10:15 PM, Brian Waters wrote: > I'm busy 'till Monday morning but I'll break out the ole' diffy-q's

Hi Brian. Thanks for liking the idea. The code for doing this, could actually be fairly easy. If you start researching on what a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is, and understand how to implement a rough algorithm on this, you could easily add a test in the code, before the encoder kicks in, and prompt a message to the user, that it should be aware that the file could not be compressed, because it

I'd like to express a few things whilst I have the ear atleast a few folks. There once was a program called oddcast, and then edcast that you could use on linux to broadcast an OggFLAC encoded audio stream from jack. Sounds like something many folks would be interested in doing, but I haven't heard to much of a peep about it. At any rate, it had a a few issues legally and technical

Cool, thanks for all the great comments. I think we agree now on that the "find mp3 before encoding" feature would not be a good idea to implement in the flac core. As Brian pointed out, it might be a better idea to create a program that automatically checks if a flac might have been an mp3 source. My first suggestion was to use FFT, because I know that 128kbps mp3 have a low-pass

Cool, thanks David. I'll have a look at it. - J?rgen.

Hi Brian. I also agree with you on these points you mention. If you guys are familiar on how the piracy groups work on the internet, you are aware that they have "releases" with their names on it. In the piracy "scene", some groups are competing on getting the first release out, and could only be beaten by another group releasing another higher quality release. Some groups (or
