Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Convert FLACs to MP3s?
You know what would be cool? If I could just have a setting in LMS, which would cause, upon a (re)scan automatically convert the collection to mp3 and update the ones, where the metadata has changed. Feel free to write a plugin for this... But really: there are enough tools out there to do this once for good. Why would you want the scanner to re-do this (or even check for changes) upon every scan? It would add considerable overhead to every scan. It would save so much time (and questions), and it can’t be much more Some people do count the time the scan takes - in that case I doubt it would save any. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Convert FLACs to MP3s?
You mentioned that you use Music Bee, have you tried Foobar2000 ? I haven't used it recently but it may have the capability that you are looking for. I do know that JRiver Media Center can do what you are looking for. It can automatically convert FLAC files to MP3 as it syncs the music on your PC with your phone. It isn't free but there is a 30 day free trial.

If you want to want to synchronize your whole collection as mp3s to your phone, mp3fs is the simplest way to do it (and you wouldn't actually have two formats of the same track). The only manual operation would be to search/replace flac with mp3 in playlists. However, for me, this isn't an option since my phone doesn't have enough storage to hold my music library even as mp3s. I've therefore written a script to - search a playlist for all referenced music files - copy the mp3s to the destination folder (preserving hierarchy and tags) - convert non-mp3s to mp3s in the destination folder (preserving hierarchy and tags) - normalize the volume of the mp3s - copy covers to the destination folder Combined with 'mounting my phone as a folder' (https://github.com/whoozle/android-file-transfer-linux/), this makes synchronizing music from a playlist to my phone a single fully automated operation. However, in order to use the script, you'd need to - run it from the command line of a Unix-like system (Linux, MacOS (probably), ...)

A sample of the BBC MP3 streams play OK for me and I am outside the UK using both BBC App and Tunein.. It looks like you have been playing the BBC MP3 streams and are not using a plugin. Have you saved these streams as Favorites ? If so then maybe URLs have been updated. Are you in the UK ? The "timeout" error message usually means a network problem or pheraps somehting has cached out of date info in your system. If it is a network issue - restart Router, PC and LMS. If it is a cache issues - stop LMS, do not use for about 15 mins and restart LMS - the cache should have expired by then. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109347 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Yes that would probably be the way to go. Thing is: I prefer listening to my FLACs at home, LMS can play them just fine. Also, I manage my music collection with MusicBee on my PC, FLAC is not a problem there either. I also make playlists in Musicbee that include both FLAC- and MP3-files. These lists are routinely detected by LMS and played just fine. I use SqueezeCTRL to download files to my phone which is handy as, amongst other things, it leaves the folder structure, file names and tags as they are on my NAS. I just copy the playlists as .m3u-files to my phone which finds the files in the list without problems. If I follow your suggestions I will have a bunch of albums twice both in MusicBee and in LMS and I just don't like this idea. (I do not have FLACs of all my albums but only from those that have recently been added.) Plus it creates inconsistencies in my playlists as the .flac-entries will not be found... mherger wrote: > You'd need to install "lame". No idea whether this is possible at all on > your device.

It would save so much time (and questions), and it can’t be much more than a simple hook in the scan script, which executes a custom command to create the mp3 when a new song is found or the metadata is updated? I mean - LMS knows which tracks are new or have updated metadata, and when I add new tracks, I do a rescan anyway.

Thanks for the follow-up. I will give that a whirl. Of late, I've been getting podcasts from the relay network doing the same thing. This is good as at least it's more consistent behavior. The worst part of this is that my system has not changed at all for many years (barring underlying Linux server updates). There have been router firmware updates as well so perhaps some changed behavior there is what's biting me (the DHCP leases is an interesting possibility). /a *Kitchen:* Squeezebox Touch > Cambridge Audio DacMagic > Rotel RC-1070 pre > Rotel RB-1080 amp > Axiom M100 *Basement:*Squeezebox Classic > Sony integrated amp > Paradigm in-ceiling speakers *Upstairs:*Squeezebox v2 > Athem AVM 60 > Bryston 9B SST > Totem Forest *Computer:*Squeezebox Classic > Tapco S5 monitors *Bathroom:*Squeezebox Boom arthurc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109258 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
