similar to: Idea to possibly improve flac?

I have not studied the flac codebase, but I'll do some research and try to help you out. It might be stupid, but I guess a good place to start would be in the main() function, where the program receives its parameters from the command line? - J?rgen On Jan 7, 2011, at 10:15 PM, Brian Waters wrote: > I'm busy 'till Monday morning but I'll break out the ole' diffy-q's

Hi folks! Due to the fact that more and more users increasingly use MP3 < 320kbps as their source for encoding music, and publish it as flac files, I suggest that something is done in the flac encoder to possible avoid this. My idea is kinda easy/stupid, but might work; Implement a function that use a FFT to check if the input has frequencies > 16kHz, and informs the user that the file

I'm busy 'till Monday morning but I'll break out the ole' diffy-q's textbook next week and do some background reading, thanks. Any clues on where in the code to look in order to put those hooks in? - Brian On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 4:08 PM, J?rgen Vigdal <jorgen at anion.no> wrote: > Hi Brian. > > Thanks for liking the idea. > > The code for doing this,

I'd like to express a few things whilst I have the ear atleast a few folks. There once was a program called oddcast, and then edcast that you could use on linux to broadcast an OggFLAC encoded audio stream from jack. Sounds like something many folks would be interested in doing, but I haven't heard to much of a peep about it. At any rate, it had a a few issues legally and technical

First of all, I am not aware of any official source of FLAC files that provide MP3 sourced data. I meticulously check the music I purchase, especially when it is 24/48 or 24/96 material, because this is new technology, and sometimes people get it wrong. However, you should be aware that many modern producers use software to create their music, and when the software stores sound clips in

Its really sad to hear thats happening but even more sad is the fact that flac is becoming a very common format for music on the interweb whilst at the same time the development has ceased. I've found some severe issues with OggFLAC that essentially make it a useless format for streaming, no one cared. -David Listener of many flacs On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 3:42 PM, J?rgen Vigdal <jorgen

Cool, thanks for all the great comments. I think we agree now on that the "find mp3 before encoding" feature would not be a good idea to implement in the flac core. As Brian pointed out, it might be a better idea to create a program that automatically checks if a flac might have been an mp3 source. My first suggestion was to use FFT, because I know that 128kbps mp3 have a low-pass

I for one am not worried about getting mp3 encoded stuff in my flac files, but I want to respond about "legitimate" OggFLAC. OggFLAC as a format for files, I agree, used by no one. However, I don't know of any other open source way to stream lossless audio. Maybe I did not look hard enough. Certainly nothing I can think of that would hope to be compatible with standard media player

Cool, thanks David. I'll have a look at it. - J?rgen.

Unofficial sources (such as Usenet and that torrent site with the old fashioned sailing ship as its logo) are much more likely to have FLAC files that were made from lossy audio. And I vaguely remember reading

Hi Brian. I also agree with you on these points you mention. If you guys are familiar on how the piracy groups work on the internet, you are aware that they have "releases" with their names on it. In the piracy "scene", some groups are competing on getting the first release out, and could only be beaten by another group releasing another higher quality release. Some groups (or

I might be able to look into this soon, I actually got my mother a squeezebox boom for xmas, but I have no experience with the device, other than initial set up and hearing it go. My choice of the word "useless" was deliberate to get folks rawled up, and it worked! :D It doesn't make it entirely useless, just unreliable and inconsistent. If they are using the code from the main flac

Yes, this is sad. cdparanoia, which could be considered a strong opensource meatspace partner to FLAC (along with cdda2wav) is also effectively dead. All three living on only in the ports trees of various operating

Hi German users, Can one of you guys give me a German Phrase that I can use to demonstrate tokenizing non-ascii text. Preferably something about 40 bytes long with lots of umlauts and perhaps a ?. Cheers, Dave
