similar to: Lossless/lossy hybrid?

Hello, I am hoping that perhaps you know the answer to my car audio question, or can at least point me in the right direction. I own a 2013 Audi S4 that has the 3G-Plus Multi Media Interface (MMI) with the Bang & Olufsen Sound System. The MMI is able to playback lossy, compressed audio files (MP3, WMA and AAC), but does not have native support for FLAC, ALAC, or WMA Lossless.

Situation:? * remote virtual server with very little storage (estimate: I can spare about 40G for music) * local music collection of ~80G in all sorts of formats - lossy in varying quality, some lossless too Vision: * stream my whole music collection randomized so I can listen to it anywhere Plan/Idea: * Locally transcode everything to one format that results in files that are?

Opus or AAC will give you comparable results at reasonable bitrates (~128k). Though, I would suggest finding a way to get more storage. You could upload to Backblaze B2 or AWS S3 for pennies, if your current host won't let you upgrade.

Hello, I noticed that kbps jumps quite high in -q 10 mode and is nearing lossless compressors. Would it be a difficult task to make OGG a lossless compressor at -q 10? I don't know much about lossy/lossless compression internal logic, so excuse me if my question is out of place. But this would be a really nice feature that would make OGG an "all in one" tool. Cheers, Bostjan

I created some test samples and transcoded to FDK AAC and libopus at fairly low bitrates - I cannot recreate what bothered me about Opus & noisy music previously. It also seems I cannot tease ffmpeg into encoding FDK's AAC with VBR. As it stands, Opus clearly wins in this scenario.* Q: Is it possible to stream in variable bitrate? * ffmpeg -i "$track" -vn -ac 2 -c:a libfdk_aac

First off, I'm not an expert in this field, but I thought I could probably answer a few of your questions. If anyone else wants to give a more complete explanation, please do.

Oops, I was a bit sloppy in my organization, and also sloppy on a few facts. I did not intend to imply that A-52 was lossless - I was merely using it as an example of an open specification format that cannot be implemented and sold without being licensed. I'm glad that we are finally getting lossless formats accepted in large public standards. The liba52 library may not be legal. I

I don't think you guys should worry too much about messing up old decoders, but no matter what you choose to do FLAC MUST REMAIN LOSSLESS.

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. It would be more versatile to check if the

Hi, this email is sent to flac-dev AT xiph DOT org, copied to matroska-devel AT lists DOT matroska DOT org, and David Bryant, the author of Wavpack4. We are about to implement the DV ( Digital Video ) video compression standard into matroska, to be able to offer an intelligent alternative to AVI for DV handling in editor tools. DV is using a high quality, high bitrate lossy video compression

Hi folks, I'm trying to get a handle on the many lossless audio formats from the perspective of a software developer. I love the FLAC format because it is open source and it performs very well. But there is also the MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing), AAC (Apple Lossless), and probably some Microsoft format(s) that compete in the same feature set. These formats all achieve

You change the volume of the audio tracks, so isn't this lossy or does the actual volume

Which "output file" are you referring to? Also, your question is incompletely specified, because you do not qualify whether the input is the same when you expect the output to be the same. When uncompressing, the final results are lossless, therefore it is hardware independent when you consider the total process. When compressing, the results depend upon the implementation. In

Hi All, What is the status of the oggpcm project? I'm investigation solutions to the following problem: losslessly encode double-precision mutli-channel timeseries data in a format that is compatible with free (libre) internet streaming technologies and that permits diverse metadata to be encoded with the stream. flac isn't suitable because it only supports integer data, lossy

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, so "lossy FLAC" is like "honest politician", or "fast turtle".
