similar to: FLAC suddenly compresses more - why?

Hello Rene, If you want to be sure that you get no information loss, I suggest a very simple test. Recover your WAV file from any of the FLAC files you mentioned in your e-mail. If this WAV file is bit-by-bit identical to the input WAV file, then you have no information loss. Also, it is important to take into account that the compression ratio is highly dependent on the encoded wav file. If you

Firstly, a big thank-you to Josh for FLAC. Someone mentioned it in a post on Slashdot, so I came over to sourceforge for a look-see. This is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. Can anyone relate any general tips for using flac on Windows for the purpose of archiving cd's? If I can nail down a solid, easy-to-use process, I'm happy to write it up and contribute it to the

Hello wine users: Could someone, please, help me how to make work EAC with wine in openSUSE 10.2? Earlier (SUSE 10.1) I could configure wine to use windows 2000 as default windows version and EAC to use 'native Win32 interface for WinNT/2000/XP' and these worked together fine. Now in openSUSE 10.2 (wine version wine-0.9.37-12.1) when I start EAC with wine I get: a) when the interface

Hello everyone, I'm new to this flac thing (started about a week ago) but I have read a lot about flac and replaygain. As far as I understand it, replaygain is lossless in the sense that I can tell my player to ignore the settings or I can even use foobar2000 to remove the tags entirely, hence getting back to the original audio. If that is the case, why is there a warning in the foobar2000

This is more of an EAC question, but I have not yet received an answer from my post on that page. Since they are closely related I thought I would give it a try here. I just bought a BIG stack of CDs (70+) and decided to recheck all of my EAC (beta 4) + FLAC (1.1.2) settings prior to ripping and encoding them. I also calibrated a new external Plextor CD-ROM too. The setting string I use in

I have installed EAC. It starts, looks correct but when the cursor moves over the EAC window it disappears and I can't reach any controls. The window is possible to move around but no access to the program. When I close the program I have to force it to finish. I'm running Fedora 10.

Hi, I made backup-copies of several CDs. First I used eac (exactaudiocopy) for exact ripping to a single wav-file with cue sheet. Then I used flac --cuesheet=<cuefile> <wavfile> to get a flac file with internal cue sheet. I am on a linux system. eac is running in a vmware-windows (actually, eac is the only reason that I have a windows version running). At this point I have two

a new user to flac here...am planning on archiving all my cd collection to an external hdd.have thought of using mp3 at 320k cbr or 192k vbr but have decided to go on flac.I am using EAC with flac as an external compression.there is an option on eac for bit rates.I think the default rate was set to 640kbits/s, with a min of 32kbits and max of 1024kbits/snow, my inquiry is... do I need to change

ok, i'm puzzeled here I just recently reinstalled windows 2k, and i've been useing EAC to rip my CDs for a while now. i wanted to test it out (i had to reconfigure it) so i put in a burned CD with a few pretty bad scratches (used a hunting knife to make em) When i rip it i don't get any errors (with CDex to) but of course when i listen to it i hear them. This is strange bceause

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

I was wondering, is there a way to encode Oggs with EAC on-the-fly? I'm looking for a way to shorten the whole ripping and encoding process, but so far I've only seen support for the commandline encoder. -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

Hi. My first post over here related to my first try to use WINE. I am using 0.9.58 and the 2.6.24-rt kernel (Ubuntu Studio Hardy Beta) I installed EAC and almost everything works fine expect the ripping speed, which doesn't seem to be adjustable. The drive speed is not exceeding 2-3. I tried all kind of settings. Even setting the drive speed manually up with hdparm -E did not change it.

I'm having some difficulty getting into Ogg. Being my first time encoding to Ogg, I am left doubtful of the quality in reproduction. Hopefully, it is merely something that I am doing. My original intentions were to go through my CD collection and rip everything out at 224kps VBR. I began with an album I was relatively familiar with. I used FreeRip 2.53 initially, but found that I had

I did the test on another PDA which runs XScale 416Mhz CPU, the EAC arithmetic could be done in 1ms, but for the previous PDA (TI OMAP 168Mhz), it take more than 100ms! Though EAC could run in time on the new PDA, it did no help to cancel the echo, here is my test scenario: Init echo_state: echo_state=speex_echo_state_init(160,1120); int tmp=8000;

There's something (probably a lot) missing in my understanding of plotmath. The LaTeX code for what I'm trying to produce is \log(-\log(\hat R)) My (probably hopeless) attempt at it uses nested group()s: expression(plain(log) * group("(", -plain(log)*group("(", \hat(R), ")"), ")")) Can anyone do it right for me, please? Thanks, Ted. Dr E.A.

Dear all, I am an active FLAC user and like the program a lot! Thanks for your great work. Since I am not a developer I cannot modify the program on my own. Maybe you might be interested in features I would find useful. Maybe others find them interesting as well and you find the time to implement them. 1. Add encoder options: a) Skip silence (leading and ending) would give the option to skip

I see that this was the right place to fire off this question. Thanks for your feedback. It has given me a base to start some trials. I used to use EAC on Windows, but I tend to only use open source software as much as possible and I don't use Windows any more. I gave a brief look at abcde, but it is clear I need to look at this some more. It looks like it has the potential to do everything I

I'll be teaching a graduate course on (the analysis of) experimental designs next year, using R. Does anyone know of a suitable textbook? (Venables and Ripley MASS Ch6 on Linear Models covers roughly the right material, but at a level that is way too difficult for my students.) Sorry if this has been asked before. I've looked through the archives and found Julian Faraway's book, but
