Anyone know, under Linux, how to get accents (hoping for u with an umlaut, for example) into a comment field? They're happily in the comment file I'm using as a source (or on the command line), but they get translated into # either when I do vorbiscomment -a or vorbiscomment -l (not sure which, but XMMS also sees # instead of the right char, which implies the first). title=Die Sch#ne

Wow! Ogg is sounding _really_ fine these days. Waaaay past my ability to tell from CD on my crappy sound card, even at pretty low bitrates. Which leads to my question: there's a huge difference between what my sound card puts out and what my CD player can do (Rotel RCD-950 to Classe' Audio Twenty preamp to Acurus A80 amp to Epos ES-12 speakers, in case anyone cares). If my computer is

Hi, I just had a problem that is not described in the faq and it was quite hard to find the right fix so I wanted to send it here, hoping it will be added to the faq. The error message is the same as in: http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200210/0073.html Warning: Hole in data found at approximate offset 5238000 bytes. Corrupted ogg. In this case it was caused by id3tags added by grip.

Exact Audio Copy 0.99b3 under Wine 0.9.51 on Kubuntu 7.10. It can see the audio CD in the drive, no problems, no fuss. What it can't do is contact FreeDB to get CD track names. Clicking the "FreeDB" button in EAC brings up http://www.freedb.org/ in Konqueror. So the problem isn't that FreeDB is down. When I run EAC from the command line, there's nothing showing up with a

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

Copying a CD with k3b is no problem, except I want to include on my copy the cbbd data (from freedb.org). I've configured k3b's cddb section according to instructions at <http://www.freedb.org/en/faq.3.html#15> and read every article google could find about "k3b cddb freedb.org config", but still k3b can't manage it. Grip handles getting the cddb data just fine.

this is a little off-topic, but i want to get a sense of "best practices" for tagging flac files. i want to archive my entire cd collection as flac files (onto a few of those new western digital 120GB drives). as part of encoding the flac files, i'd like to add 1. id3v2 tags (preferably automatically gotten from freedb) 2. timed lyrics a la lyrics3 v2 (is there a freedb-like

I wanted to post publicly my problem with Jonathan's proposed album requirements. Although I do apologize, since this thread is too big already. The idea that as a requirement one should be able to identify the exact CD a track was ripped from is not a valid requirement in my book (not for the tags at least), and I hope I can explain why. Without knowing the exact way Jonathan wishes to

Is there a standard field inside OGG comments to save freedb-id of the original CD, which track was grabbed from? If not, may this be a little wish for Ogg Vorbis format specification? ========================================================================== * Forwarded by Arioch /BDV/ <the_Arioch@chat.ru> * From: "Jackie" <jackie@audiograbber.com-us.net> * Date: Tue, 25

I've been with FLAC since 0.7, and I've loved the FLAC files I've ripped with grip, converted from FLAC 0.8 to 0.9, and played constantly on my desktop. And then I noticed the truncated ID3 tags in my FLAC files. I at first thought the problem lied in FLAC; I posted to this list, hoping for a solution. But then I realized my trusty GRIP was the flawed program. Now re-ripping my

Through several versions up to and including the current 3.0.9 I experience sporadic, repeating (but not predictably) errors of this form: > rsync: make_bak_dir mkdir "/REPO/backup/XXXX-data1-20120727-040453" failed: File exists (17) > rsync: keep_backup failed: "/REPO/backup/XXXX-data1/data1/A182/tb5178/tb5178.hebb/out.TENT_warn.txt" ->

I was just wondering if the original audio is always the best audio. I'm sure every compression format including vorbis is based on trying to make the output sound the closest to the listener to the input. I was wondering if there is any possibility that there would be a way of modifying the huffman tables or something in some way to make the output sound better than the original? ---

A month or two ago I sent an email to this list proposing to expand the list of "standard" tags for Ogg Vorbis. No tag would be required, but if you wanted to encode certain types of information about a file, you could use a standard tag. I went through the whole discussion, and revised my proposal in light of all the comments from everyone. Here is the updated proposal. This

My vision of how the players should work is this: - make one album.flac with CUESHEET - player loads album.flac, sees CUESHEET, calculates CDDB id (or CDindex, or custom

I'm in the process of re-encoding lots of albums with rc3. This isn't too hard because my computer lab at school has 24 machines which I can all get ripping/encoding in parallel. Machines are Win95. I'm currently using EAC (www.exactaudiocopy.de) to do clean rips (unfortunately a GUI interface), a cygwin port of normalize (http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~cvaill/normalize/), oggenc,

Hello. I would like to know if there are any developments planned for Vorbis comment specifications. I am generally content with the variety of field names, but I would really appreciate having a standard GUESTARTIST field (or something in the vicinity) to be able to better describe collaborations. This is helpful in cases where there is a main artist for the track/album, and there are also guest

I had an idea. I find it really difficult to get all the correct comments into my vorbis files, especially since i mainly rely on the freedb.org connectivity within CDex to save me from the time consuming task of getting the correct data into the files, making sure everything is spelled properlly etc. So i was just wondering if theres any viable point in the existence of a P2P comments software

Greetings, I thought this was supposed to be a list for educated people to discuss serious development of the ogg vorbis project. In light of that, it is amazing to see the level Mr. Segher Boessenkool drops down to in the last posts. More or less calling people insane and accusing them of being on crack and what not. I didn't want to post this on the list, for there is no reason to
