Re: [Flac] Room for safe opaque blocks in flac streams? Looking to add error correction to flac.

Gregory, You might want to move your question over to the Flac-dev mailing list. A FLAC stream allows for additional metadata, including custom data which decoders will skip. However, metadata must come before the audio data, and thus you cannot append it to the end. You also won't be ab

[Flac] Room for safe opaque blocks in flac streams? Looking to add error correction to flac.

Is there an obvious safe way to add some extra data to a flac file that spec decoders will happily ignore? I'd like to explore creating a tool which will add N extra redundancy frames at the end which will allow perfect decoding with up to ~N frames lost in the files. This would allow users to sa

Re: [Flac] FLAC: track and album gain?

Those are Replay Gain elements. Please check on Wikipedia or Hydrogenaudio for more information on RG. In short, they are values to normalize in a lossless way the audio volume. -Ivo ___ Flac mailing list Flac@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/li

[Flac] FLAC: track and album gain?

Hi, I'm a FLAC beginner and I had a question about the meaning of track and album gain. I think it's a stupid question, but hey, I must learn it somewhere ;) So I wanted to know what track and album gain means. I use winamp for playing my encoded FLAC files and when I look at the properties of a

2007/4/1, Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 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 hap

Re: [Flac] FLAC: 99% complete message?

Hi Harry, The command-line flac utility writes status lines to the terminal, typically overwriting the previous status. However, when unexpected error messages appear, the usual output can be formatted incorrectly. The expectation is that the final "Verify OK" line was supposed to erase

[Flac] Re: FLAC: decoding to WAV in the future

Hi Harry, First of all, if you keep a copy of flac 1.1.4 then you will always be able to decode the files. Why not make a backup of flac 1.1.4? Second of all, flac is open-source, so somebody will always be able to compile flac 1.1.4 for any new platform. There are never any guarantees a

Hi, I was wondering if somebody knows DJ-software (mainly for mixing tracks, by using pitch control) that is able to play FLAC files and apply pitch control on the files. It doesn't matter if the software is free or commercial. I hope somebody knows this. thanks in advance _

[Flac] FLAC: decoding to WAV in the future

Hi, I'm a FLAC beginner and I had a question. Suppose I encode my whole CD collection now in the FLAC format, using the FLAC encoder version 1.1.4 (the most recent one at this time). Will I still be able to decode all FLAC files to WAV files in the future using the latest FLAC decoder, when for e

Re: [Flac] FLAC: recommended compression

Hi there, 5 is the optimum compression level in terms of encoding speed and the compression ratio. From my experience, -8 results in flac files that are <1% smaller than -5, so I usually use -5, it's way faster. However the recent update has greatly increased the speed of -8. Cheers, Murat ---

[Flac] FLAC: recommended compression

Hi, Why is -5 the recommended compression for the FLAC encoder? So my question is: why is a lower compression recommended over a higher compression (-8)? What factors make -5 the "recommended" one, even if the compression is lower then the -8 option? I hope somebody can explain this thanks in a
