OK, I have some basic functionality to support bind variables, it appears to work with the ''old'' %s style too. I''ve altered sanitize_conditions in activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb to check whether bind variables are in the statement (/\?/). If they are, replace all the ?s to escaped values from the arguments array. else santize and expand. There are a few

I've just started to archive my CD collection (about 800 CDs), and my criteria are pretty much the same as the original message under this subject, except that I'm doing one file per CD. One file per song is just too much of a pain, and there's really no need, given FLAC's ability to have metadata in the file. The first thing I do is run cd-discid against the cd, and store that

Why don't you submit to the sourceforge feature request queue as a patch? That way it will be there for anyone who wants to hack on it. Although maybe this kind of

I suppose the ideal would be to have a metadata block to store the subcode from a CD, and something that could interpret it as CD-TEXT, if that's what it is. Then it would be possible to

On a related note, are there any tools which can read the Index information from a CD and preserve these in some file for later recreation? The actual TOC on a CD has very little information: just the Absolute Start Time of each Track. Is there any documentation of the "TOC" file format that is commonly used? I do not recall coming across anything. Obviously, I am also

Well, I've rebuilt flac from the original source, without using the NetBSD package system, and I'm still seeing the same problem with the XMMS FLAC plugin: /usr/pkg/lib/xmms/Input/libxmms-flac.so: Undefined PLT symbol "FLAC__plugin_common__init_dither_context" (symnum = 30) I can see that the symbol is defined in the common library: $ nm src/plugin_common/libplugin_common.a |

You don't actually lose the audio data, right, just the structure of the CD (which can probably be captured with cue files anyway)? I've ripped CDs with pregap audio before, and I'm pretty sure it's not getting

Hi all! I've just gotten into the FLAC world, and have read most of the documentation. I have a question: Mike Wren's frontend, upon looking at the DOS command line it automatically generates, uses the "-m" command. This is for "mid-side coding for each frame". What is this? Specifically, is this like the mid-side recording technique? If so, that means the

when i encode i multi channel file, does flac encode every channel seperatly or does is look for similarities between channels? the documentation says: INTER-CHANNEL DECORRELATION In the case of stereo input, once the data is blocked it is optionally passed through an inter-channel decorrelation stage. The left and right channels are converted to center and side channels through the following

I did some research on patent claims on range and arithmetic coding. The original range code pdf presented in the UK by an ibm employee at the time asserts no patent claims what so ever. If there are patents I cant find em. I have the original paper in PDF if anyone cares to see it. Its a good candidate for encoding because browsing a few of the implememntations avaialable on line, I can roll my

i didn't find anything about tagging flac files as surround files. i think there should some possibility to tell the player how to play a multi-channel file (how to map the different channels to the speakers or if there some decode is needed, like for ambisonic files). any idea how to implement it?

So I'm getting errors like the appended one for about one out of every four CDs I encode. If I delete the half-created flac file and try again, it works the second time. Is flac non-deterministic? Or do I have some serious problems here? cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs@cynic.net> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light.
