Just in case any enterprising souls out there feel up to the challenge of determining play time and bitrate average for Ogg Vorbis files via PHP, I send along this message from the programmer of the NetJuke project.

Thanks for all the great responses on tools to use - I have Exact Audio Copy and CDex working very well, and I've been working out all the kinks. Two questions, one very Vorbis related, one not :) 1) I know people have asked many times "What quality should I use". Well, I want to ask it again but in a narrower frame. I see less than 10% difference in size between 4.99 and 5.00 -

There's another nice Windows program in the pipeline: Feurio 2.0 (www.feurio.de) will have OggVorbis and MonkeyAudio support. Feurio is a all-in-one solution for CD ripping/burning specialized on audio CD. Feurio supports high speed, high-quality on-the-fly ripping and encoding, and on-the-fly decoding/burning, too. Feurio supports allmost all available CD writers, and there is a

Hello all, I seem to be in a bit of a bind. Below is the email which I sent to the list a while back. I wrote the vast majority of my CD collection to Flac and checked them with the Flac test (the -t option of Flac), they played fine and all seemed wonderful. Sadly life is no longer roses and chocolates. Now as I come to rip the whole lot to Vorbis files, Oggenc is spewing an error that the

I've had this problem encoding oggs where the output file is small, like 24kbytes for a 4 minute song (tested at 128 and 160kbit). I'm running Windows 2000 and this has happened in oggenc, oggdrop, and CDEX, though I've also been able to get good encodings with each of these. I think the only clean encodings have been .wav's that I've made myself with SoundForge or CoolEdit,

Where did your rip files come from? Are they WAVE or AIFF? My hunch is that technically bad files were created when you ripped your CDs. "data pad byte" sounds like one of those things that is required in WAVE/AIFF, but many application developers miss. As a result of the various errors out there, many tools will accept bad audio files without complaint, others will point out

Hello all, I've been having some problems with the .ogg encoder when run within Windows. Someone at vorbis.com told me to post my problem to the mailing list (which I assume this is, unless I've subscribed to the wrong one) and see if you folks have any pointers. Without further ado: System is a Win98SE machine with a 400Mhz processor and 160Mb of memory. I've downloaded all the

I think the new web page is wonderful. However, one thing annoyed me. Some programs on 'Other Software Which Supports Ogg Vorbis' page at Vorbis.com seems to be bit problematic. As far as I know, at least two of them have not updated their plug-ins for a while. 1. 'CD-DA X-Tractor' vorbenc-20001018.zip as 'Latest released version of vorb_enc.dll' 2. 'Media

Once i've run into misfeature. I've grabbed an Audio CD with one of russian opera's, and its comment been wirttenas a 8-bit ANSI text. When i tried to play them in WnAMP - the comments were unreadable. Peter (the author of WinAMP OGG plugin) told me, that the comments must be encoded using UTF-8. I wrote it to the author of AudioGrabber and he told me he will forward it to plugin

Hi, I already mentioned this on #vorbis, but thought it good to create a mailthread on it for easier tracking. One of the OpenBSD developers (claudio at openbsd.org) found that ogg123 crashes on his machine with a SIGSEGV while playing tracks with unknown comments in the tags. He's running with special malloc flags that make the OpenBSD malloc(3) extra picky (manpage available online at

ok, i'm puzzeled here I just recently reinstalled windows 2k, and i've been useing EAC to rip my CDs for a while now. i wanted to test it out (i had to reconfigure it) so i put in a burned CD with a few pretty bad scratches (used a hunting knife to make em) When i rip it i don't get any errors (with CDex to) but of course when i listen to it i hear them. This is strange bceause

Not too long ago, I converted my whole cd library to OGG format, because I loved the way it sounded, and the fact that is was open source. Recently, I wanted to update my library with the latest CVS code. I just did a compile of the CVS ogg binaries (ogg.dll, vorbis.dll, vorbis_enc.dll, vorbis_file.dll), and I noticed they were alot larger in size than the default ones that came with CDex. I

One thing that has always bothered me about the ogg format is the distortion of high frequency sounds - even at data rates as high 128 and 160 kbps. I find the best way around this is to resample the wav file to 48 kHz (using SoundForge 6.0) before encoding (using CDex) to ogg. It takes a while, and adds a lot of extra wear and tear on my drive, but what a difference! The result is an 80k ogg file

Greetings Fellow Vorbis Gurus! How can I encode, using CDex, at a CBR (constant bit rate) rather than the VBR? Also, can one take a 128kbs MP3 file and re-encode it to ogg? If so, please explain the procedure. By the way, I'm using a Windows based system. Thank you! /jp/ dojpaul@coffey.com --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:
