You change the volume of the audio tracks, so isn't this lossy or does the actual volume

OK, here's a problem: I want to set the album replay gain in each track, but I'm using grip to rip and encode the tracks one by one. grip knows that all the tracks are on a single album, but FLAC sees them one at a time. I put the --replay-gain option on the FLAC command line, so it emits four comments into the vorbis commebnt block, e.g.: comment[9]:

Hello, I'd like to ask about the possibility of embedding pictures like an album cover artwork into a vorbis comment header. Since the data in a comment string after the separating "=" has a defined length, this could theoretically also be binary picture data. For example "PICTURE=[...any binary data...]" It only would be a problem for existing software which isn't

This question is mainly directed at John Edwards, I believe. I'm attempting to use oggdec.exe in a batch conversion of ogg vorbis files for use on a portable player. I'm using the -o option to redirect output to the LAME encoder. So far so good. However, I also want to do volume leveling using the replaygain tags. If I specify track (radio) gain, everything works fine, however, when I

What Brian Willoughby means is that even though the future is uncertain, you may trust FLAC. The format is mature enough so that you won't see major changes preventing playback of files encoded by older encoders, but even if that comes to happen, the playback libraries on most software will be backwards-compatible, and FLAC is lossless meaning that you may convert FLAC 1.1.4 to a possible

Hello ! I ran FLAC over 3 wav tracks from the same CD generating replaygain info. Actually, albums gain and peak values do not match any track values (see run below). The TRACK_PEAK values are identical for the 3 tracks and, which is weird, we have one track with a TRACK_GAIN greater than the ALBUM_GAIN whereas another track has a lower value. I had expected the album values to be the maximum

Hi, there was a thread a few months ago about album art, and how to embed it in an Ogg stream. The outcome was unconclusive, and kind of settled on the existing practice of adding a uuencoded image in a Vorbis comment, or similar. A better solution would be to embed those images as a separate stream, including hints as to what image represents (front cover, back cover, etc). The obvious

hi flac list! I'm not sure if this question can be asked here, but here you go (it's a question for audiophiles only): I encode CDDA tracks to FLAC and play them on my Pocket PC (PDA). I'm looking for a high quality headphone to connect to my Pocket PC, but it must be an in-ear one but not like these: http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/vanns/770045336?$medium_item$ So no plastic things

Surely it would be possible to have something apply the ReplayGain to the WAV after decoding and prior to writing them to CD... but I don't know

I'm hoping to set up a headless system to playback my audio once I get back home after an extended leave. Ideally I'd just ssh in and use a curses based player to play back FLACs and mp3s. This leads me to a few quesitons: 1. What is the minimun processor speed needed to decode and play flac files? I have an old P100 I would like to use for the task if it is sufficient. 2. When

I have a project I'm investigating. The goal is to basically add lossless extensions to Opus. You have an Opus stream with standard packets, but interwoven in there are extension packets that contain the residuals. Ideally, compliant decoders play the stream back and ignore the extension packets. This (hopefully) makes the "lossless" stream compatible with existing players.

We are also in this particular boat. We are using Centova Cast which uses Liquidsoap as its AutoDJ and Centova say that if the album tag is stored in the file

I'm forwarding the email I sent to the radiohead website support , asking that they consider using open formats, as sugested In the #vorbis irc channel I posted this in the wiki to serve as a basis for a more thought out and articulated draft for a email campaing, pettion, and as monty suggested I'm also forwarding it here, to see if we organize a petition/email campaign to get their

Hi list users, Is there a comparison somewhere of the efficiency of decoding flac files, with respect to some benchmark related to cpu processing? As compared to, say, ape files? I ask because I have recently switched my entire archive from ape to flac. I have an old 400 mhz laptop in my office running xubuntu, which I run into a receiver. Works great. Since switching to flac, I notice the

Hi all, I recently started to study the Ogg Vorbis codec and found an interesting feature called bitrate peeling [1]. Do you know where I can find more information on this topic? E.g., how is the actual peeling being implemented, what are the performance results in terms of resulting quality, what are the requirements for bitrate peeling (can it be applied to any ogg vorbis stream), ...? Also,

Hi all, The past few weeks I've been busy comparing lossless audio codecs to update the comparison.html page on the FLAC website (and because I wrote a comparison for Hydrogenaudio in the past) and its ready now. Because the patch is pretty large, I've placed it here: http://www.icer.nl/misc_stuff/update-comparison-and-fix-IE-news.patch.zip The reason to do this is because the

Hello, I have experienced some quite strange with the "replaygain" option after i had invoked FLAC over a set of files: 1. the TRACK_PEAK value is the same from the 3 tracks and equal to the ALBUM_PEAK 2. the TRACK_GAIN values happen to be either above or below (and never equal to) the ALBUM_GAIN value. I can reproduce this ad lib (see example below), so this is a bug. Or did i miss

Are the ogg/vorbis programs updated to v1.0.1 ? OggDrop for example ?
