I am grateful for your instructions showing how to change the format Rivendell
uses to internally save audio. But we’re fine with a default of PCM16,

That was so simple.
I opened RDLibrary, clicked Add, created a new cart, clicked Import/Export,
selected a MP2 cut, acknowledged “Import complete!”, clicked OK to save cart
changes, and auditioned using the play button.

Answer: they (mostly) are not. Rivendell has had an integrated software codec
for realtime capture and play-out of MPEG Layer II when using ALSA or JACK for
close to ten years now.
Hi,
Fred or Cowboy can correct me if I'm incorrect, but just to comment, for
several years now with Rivendell MP2 for the library storage and
playback has been available in software with any sound card. This
change was made when the patent expired. For those with ASI cards the

In the course of discussions about our research for a Windows 10 automation
alternative, I don’t recall sharing the distro we discovered through a Google
search.
This is what started us down the path toward Rivendell. It was created by the

I’m stunned. I thought native MP2 playback would be a stumbling block in our
adoption of Rivendell.
NPR and PRX content comes to us as MP2 files. Simian requires ASI cards for MP2

Arguably, they’re the best cards f

Hi Frank,
I could be wrong, but I seem to remember asking an almost similar

It is my understanding that you do not need ASI cards to play either mp3

Hi Frank,
ASI cards should only required for MP3. MP2's patent expired a number of
years ago and was added to Rivendell as soon as the patent expired. MP2
should be usable on any recent RD system (I don't remember the exact
version it was added, but I know it's worked well for me on v2+).

I somehow managed to invert the sense of that one.
The current CentOS installer for Rivendell actually places an entry in
