similar to: Replay Gain for vorbis

Hi all, I have implemented ReplayGain support for Vorbis. If you are not familiar with it, it is basically a method of making sure all your files have equal loudness, remove the need for normalization and prevent clipping during playback. The process is totally lossless, and supporting it requires minimal work. More info about the exact workings can be found on www.replaygain.org (recommended

I've been experimenting with the ideas of Replay Gain[1] and find that ogg123 doesn't have a way of specifying the scaling applied to replayed samples (like -f in mpg123). Looking at libvorbisfile, I see no function exactly matching this possibly desirable behaviour. ov_read() scales by either 128 (byte output) or 32768 (word output), but there's nothing in between. ov_read_float()

Greetings, I'm having some sort of problem using ov_read_float(). Everything looks good to me, but I'm trashing memory somehow, so clearly I'm screwing something up. What confuses me is why it takes a ***float for the buffer. I call it like so: float **buffer bytes_read = ov_read_float(&vf, &buffer, 0) memcpy (b, *buffer, 0); This compiles fine, but after a few reads,

In response to requests, I've given my vorbis BCC projects a thorough cleaning. They are now much more professional, complete, and include a little documentation. Ogg Vorbis 1.0 ready! The new files are available here: http://dave.gasaway.org/vorbis/vorbis_bcc.zip At this time, they cannot compile with the free command-line tools available from Borland. If anyone can help make

Hi, Lately, my oggenc builds (from CVS) haven't been running correctly. In a few debugging sessions, I've found that I'm getting a divide by zero exception. The exception happens in accumulate_fit (floor1.c), line 455: int weight=nb*info->twofitweight/na; Here is the call stack: accumulate_fit floot1_fit mapping0_forward vorbis_analysis oe_encode main The

Has anyone put an eye to my patches*? AFAIK, they're simple and quite innocuous. Sorry to be a bother.

In case the important parties missed my passing comment in another thread... The mailing list archives master indices no longer show the current month.

I downloaded a nightly CVS tarball about a week ago. It contains an oggdec tool in vorbis-tools. However, I don't get this tool when I checkout / update from CVS.

Last week, I suggested a change to ogg123 for tag display. Well, tonight, I've filed a bug and hacked together a patch: http://bugs.xiph.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179 How does it look? <p>P.S., I would have provided a link to the e-mail in the archives, but it seems the current month is no longer available from the archive master indices. -- -:-:- David K.

I took notes of a few errors while reading some of the documetation a little while back (verified they're still in cvs) ... vorbis-ogg.html: the 9th bullet under Encapsulation has a couple of typos: 'contining' and 'no'. ogg-stream-flush.html: the function declaration in the gray box reads "ogg_stream_pageout". ogg-stream-pageout.html: Lists '0' as a

ReplayGain is not much good for FM broadcasting, and debatable for streaming too. There is a limit on the peak volume that can be broadcast on an FM signal so it is best to have a song volume of 100% broadcast with 100% FM deviation. If an average song volume is very low, for example, but has some loud peaks in it, ReplayGain will increase the volume to the extent that the peaks will be way too

A few days ago, I initiated a conversation with Jonathan Walther to seek his advice on how he might tag a CD that I ogg'ed. Out of this discussion, we decided to make a couple of changes to the proposed standard. 1) A new LABELNO tag was added to the list. This would contain the record label's catalogue number. Generally available on the face of the CD. Probably more useful than

Hello. I noticed that when reading data with ov_read_float(), you can get values outside [-1..1] when the stream is encoded at lower quality, but with higher quality, the values trim down to inside [-1..1]. Looking at the plot from -q10, the data from ov_read_float seems clipped. I've made some plots of encoding the start of Rammsteins Feuer from the xXx soundtrack (it's a pretty loud

Hello all, I'm glad to announce to you that Vorbis now has full ReplayGain support. If you're not familiar with ReplayGain, take a look at www.replaygain.org. The main features are: a) all songs play back with equal loudness b) removes the need for normalization c) allows for clipping prevention Using it is very simple. Get a compatible decoder (ogg123, XMMS and WinAmp all support it

I have FLAC files that I would like to re-encode with --replay-gain. I have my Flac's organized in Artist/Album folders, so I should have no problem getting an album gain/peak per album. Do I need to first de-code the flac's to wav files and then "flac --replay-gain *.wav", or can this be accomplished by going to each Album directory and "flac -f --replay-gain

Hi List, Is there a way to correctly use the replay-gain feature on flac files that contain an entire album (i.e., multiple tracks with seekpoints added from a cue sheet)? -- Chris
