similar to: low bitrate sounding better? (20k-30k)

I've got a bunch of flac files and need to report their length. With MP3s, you use `mp3info -x $filename` But is there a way to find out the length (minutes:seconds or just seconds) of a flac audio file, without converting it to WAV first? Thanks! -- Derek Sivers, CD Baby, Hostbaby http://www.cdbaby.com <-- best new independent music http://www.hostbaby.com <-- web hosting for

Hey FLAC gang - Just thought you'd like to know CD Baby has switched to FLAC for archiving the 40,000 CDs we have in stock. Luckily HD space is down below $1/gig so we got a 6-terabyte RAID-5 box set up for about $7000. Got the FreeBSD boxes churning away night and day, ripping and archiving. I'll do a more formal press release for ya in a couple months as we're further along, but

> Actually, I was more interested in how you set up the disk array. I think we just set up 3ware IDE raid cards with 200-gig drives, all on 1 PC for now (3/4 slots) and seems to work OK. No case would fit them so it's just sprawled out on a desk away from everything else with 4 power supplies powering the drives. When it's time to buy more disks then I'll have to set up a

Can someone who really knows the Ogg command-line encoder, help recommend the best setting for 33.6k modem stereo music streaming? (56k doesn't count cuz many people's 56k modems don't work at a full 56k, and I want them to be able to surf CD Baby at the same time as listening. 2 minutes / 120 seconds of audio should be about 400k.) I'm at my wit's end: tried everything I

Hi: I read the following at http://www.vorbis.com/ot/20040209.html#xiph-org-at-sxsw In addition, SXSW will once again stream over 100 live performances in Ogg Vorbis with Icecast 2 for those who can't attend the festival. Some of the Xiph team will assist in this project where simultaneous streams will be sent from 10 stages through 4 days of the event. Is there anywhere I can

how diapointing no mp3 streams! <p><p><p>----- Original Message ----- From: mike To: icecast@xiph.org Sent: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 12:37:25 -0600 Subject: [icecast] SXSW.com fun We finally got icecast/ices streaming audio for 6 venues in Austin here for SXSW.

I've got a dilema. For months, I've been planning and implementing a large project involving vorbis, ices2, icecast2 and wifi networking. The plan is to stream live audio from 10 Austin nightclubs during the SXSW music festival this March. Well yesterday, it was made plain to me that I must also provide mp3 streams, since "it's an mp3 world." I'm upset about this

Hello All: I'm having troubles getting my YP submissions to go up correctly, unfortunately there's not much I've been able to find. I'm getting NACK back from the yp_add call, I've tried two different versions of cURL/libcURL on my gentoo box to see if it was that, no luck. I've also replicated the problem onto another gentoo box of mine and the exact same NACK/no

In testing, I have found that both MP3 and RealAudio 3(!) are much better sounding at bitrates from 8 to 40-something kbps than Ogg Vorbis. This definatly needs drastic improvents and I know that 1.1 will be focusing on improvements in those areas but that seems pretty far off(a few months minimum) which leaves low-bitrate streams sounding pretty bad. --- >8 ---- List archives:

Hello, I'm having some trouble working on a webapp managing the imap tree on Dovecot. The same doesn't happen on other imap servers (e.g. Cyrus). Looks like if I receive shared folders from another user, and try to rename a folder in it, the rename command returns "ok", then if you list the new folder name, it isn't there. Looks like you've lost all the original folder

Hi, I'm facing a strange issue using JavaMail, where Dovecot let me open "READ_WRITE" a folder with readonly ACLs (same happens on other imap servers), but then doesn't issue any error when if try to setFlags(...) on that folder. The result is that the code thinks the folder marked the messages (deleted, flagged, etc), while it actually did not. Just refreshing the folder from

I've yet to assemble a valid crash-procedure to consistently re-produce the issue.
