Hi. Here are my patches and makefiles for compiling ogg, vorbis and vorbis-tools on DOS with DJGPP. They can build them from cvs snapshots and need minimal maintainance (even extract source lists from `makefile.am's). Everything seems to work, except one FP exception on encode at middle bitrates (lowest two and highest bitrates don't cause it) - I don't think it's my

I happily downloaded the official beta4 winamp plugin as well as Mattew's versions with VCE interated and with/without the dialog. When I installed it winamp (v2.72) didn't recognize it (no vorbis plugin listed in the config, doesn't play ogg files) - same for all of them. I recompiled it myself from Mattew's source with vce - same results. It does recognize the old plugin when

The spec seems to be unclear on this: should two comment haeders who only differ in the order of comments be considered equevalent? VCE shows comments in the order read and allows to store them in any order (it has move up/down buttons). Comment editors with a fixed layout (like the commmon TITLE/ARTIST/etc. fields in PP's winamp plugin) don't show the order and give no control of it.

I downloaded `file' for djgpp, and it verbosly identified my mp3 by bitrate, sample rate, mono/stereo, option bits, etc. WAVs are also uidentified well. Only vorbis was identified simply as "Ogg-Vorbis compressed sound file" without any info. So I decided I must fix this to replace my aliases that use `od' to read the bitrate and number of channels. Here is the result

Monty, could you please modify the archiving mechanism so that the current month messages are archived from the begining into the month-number directory where they will be afterwards? The current scheme makes people link to this month's articles with a URL that breaks afterwards. At least please provide a symbolic link or something from the directory that will later become correct (e.g.

Sorry for posting somewhat off-topic... Most my music files have names in hebrew (FAT32 partition). I dual-boot between a hebrew win98 (where these files are opened nicely by winamp, freeamp and any other program) and a hebrew win2000, where windows media player is the only program I've seen so far to open them. All others say "can't open file ???? ?? ???.ogg" (or .mp3) - both

Hello folks, The codebook infrastructure for Vorbis is now well underway. This is it! The last piece needed for *real* bitstreams. To that end, I have a decent VQ codebook generator running. I was originally using some farily typical merge/split algorithms and then decided that the right way to do this was to model a VQ codebook as an m-dimensional set of bubbles (like a foam). I know there

After reading http://mp3.radified.com/mp3.htm I sent Rad an explanation of some things as I understand them. He liked it and posted it on his site (still unlinked, use the URL below). Can somebody with better understanding of psycho-acoustic terms and the vorbis model check it and comment on it? In particular I didn't know how vorbis handles quantization noise. If you reply with

As an optimisation to reading Ogg encapsulated files, I've been thinking about a strategy of reading entire packets out of the stream, and sending them to the decoder. This has the advantages that: * The packet is just a linear array of bits in memory, with length known in advance. * The routine which gets bits out of the packet is then trivial and possibly inlined. * There is no possibility

Not vorbis-related, just I think I found a similar technique being used... The description of the MPEG-2/SVCD plugin on the nero site says that it can encode exacty to the size of the CD (to maximize quality given a size restriction). It also says (in a separate point) that it uses two-pass VBR compression. >From that I guess they do something like encoding a bigger-than needed file and then

Just found this one: http://camelot.kingarthur.com/phoco/ogg_vorbis/info.html It seems to have music dedicated to vorbis (by the names, don't have player here) and a link to an interview with Monty ("more information on the Ogg Vorbis format") and the artists seem very excited about it. The browser says the pages are quite old (Jul./Sep. 2001) but I don't remember it being

In advanced tag editting mode, the list of tags doesn't display unicode content of tags properly. A side suggestion: forcing english keyboard in tag name edit field would be helpful (when I edit many tags all in my language, currently I have to witch to english and back all the time). -- Beni Cherniavsky <cben@tx.technion.ac.il> (also scben@t2 in Technion) Common

Dear R users, codebook (v. 0.5.8) was just released on CRAN. https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=codebook It uses the metadata/attributes that some other packages add (item labels, value labels, labelled missings) to automatically generate a codebook that is both human- and machine-readable. It combines metadata about the variables with data summaries. Many people will import this kind of
