Awesome, I'm psyched for 1.0.3.... the ID3v1 winamp2 support will be a neat addition, as is the faster decodes. Will 24-bit audio play nice with the final public version of 1.0.3?

I've checked in code that supports a new metadata block called SEEKTABLE. Basically, it is an optional, arbitrarily-long list of seek points, by sample number and stream offset. I also added command-line options to flac so you can specify seek points by specific sample number and/or a specific number of evenly-spaced seek points. The table cost about 18 bytes per seek point. This seems to

I'm moving this over to flac-users... Anyway, are you using Mike Wren's installer? I'm not familiar with that yet.

This is a fantastic selling point, and one that I've never really thought of. Back in the early days of etree (a whole three years ago ;) ), before we learned the virtues of MD5 sums for SHN downloads, I downloaded a Hornsby show from someone. Of course, an MD5 wasn't available, but when I decompressed and Shoren didn't throw a sanity error my way, I figured all was well. I burned

On my lists of things to do for 1.0 were 1) improve seeking; and 2) speed up both encoding and decoding. Seeking seems better now (I added the SEEKTABLE and tweaked the search algorithm). On the way, one of my encoding experiments worked. By taking advantage of a relatively unused area in the Rice parameter space, I added an escape code for switching to flat encoding within a partition.

According to http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#metadata_block_streaminfo : "FLAC supports from 4 to 32 bits per sample. Currently the reference encoder and decoders only support up to 24 bits per sample. " This is why I'm confused. I though one of the benefits of FLAC was it's ability to encode in word lengths longer than 16 bits. MW -----Original Message----- From:

Which plugins do you mean? I thought I remember Winamp, for instance, being able to do word-length reduction on the fly. The only place I can find this feature is in the Monkey's Audio codec plugin, though. Anyway, great news Josh! Thanks for making 24-bit audio support in FLAC a priority. :) MW On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Josh Coalson wrote: > --- Mike Wren <mikew@etree.org>

Just an FYI... On my RH8 Duron 800MHz box, after running ./configure --enable-3dnow && make && make check && make install I received the following errors: =================== 2 of 8 tests failed =================== make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mw/flac-1.0.5_beta1/test' make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory

First, thanks to everyone for putting in their time to make the first truly "free" lossless audio codec. I'm co-founder of etree.org, the largest online community of lossless audio traders (currently 12,000 active members). We have been living in the shadow of Shorten for almost three years. Shorten, as most of you have come to realize, is extremely limited in terms of

OK, I made a few reorganizations to the code I've been wanting to do before 1.0. Nothing major, but if you are integrating libFLAC into another program it will be of interest: First, I made changes so that the encoder is now called a stream encoder everywhere. I was going to write a file encoder but realized the only use for such a thing would be if someone needed to seek through the input

I know this is probably a really stupid question, but why is FLAC's MD5 checksum different than the MD5 checksum of the original (input) .wav? I was under the impression that since each FLAC file contains metadata that can be changed without changing the audio (thus changing the MD5 checksum of that FLAC file) that the checksum of the original .wav file would instead be used. If that's

Hello , you've been written that file format is frozen. does this mean that i'll be able to play files, commpressed today, say, 1-2 years after? thereby the next question is coming. what kind of strategy do you plan to enable fast seeking? to write new seeking algoritm, or to add some data to .flac file. i ask of it because i want to write files on cd-r and so i'd like to know can i

The Winamp3 hit the streets yesterday, so i gave the FLAC Winamp3 plugin a shot (dragged cnv_flacpcm.wac to the Wacs/ directory, yadda yadda) and received the following error message when starting Winamp3: --- Studio.exe - Entry point Not Found The procedure entry point_chkesp could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCRTD.dll. -- It's unable to play .flac files, but still plays

since I've been getting a lot of requests, we're planning to do a run of FLAC shirts at cost if there is enough real demand. there's also a slogan contest for what goes on the back. for details see http://flac.sourceforge.net/tshirt.html check it out!

Hello, all, I'm a newby to FLAC who is used to making .txt source files for his SHN discs. :) I made my first secure EAC > WAV> FAC file days ago and am trying to get proper "source file" info figured out.. First question; how do you make paragraph seperations in the Tag Config. > Comments field? Better yet, can someone provide me with a < 1MB FLAC file sample

My comments: ;) >hmm, I'm thinking we could >spec out an ETREE metadata >block that you could use. Yes, I think this is a good idea. I'd like to incorporate this a s much as possible as the "FLAC Standard" if it's OK with you guys, since ideally FLAC will be the etree.org format of choice, replacing Shorten. >> Filesize compressed >> >this is
