thanx for your thoughts on this guys. :-) yeah - i'll just re-rip the offending track in FLAC.
and i agree with jeebers - this is the first of my thousands of tracks encoded with GTuneb3 which exhibits this phenomenon. never seen it before. i suspect it has to do with extreme and sudden bitrate spikes GTuneb3 produces. in this track, bitrates will jump from reasonable 250 kbit to ~570 kbit and back to 400 kbit. i know vorbis normally makes heavy use of floating point operations, which are typically badly implemented (or must be emulated) on embedded CPUs. or does slimdevices already use the integer implementation of the vorbis decoder called "tremor"? (http://xiph.org/vorbis/) gentlemen, does something like this merit a feature request / bugreport? probably not, but you never know, you know? ;-) dom -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38531 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
