could you please consider implementing PLR in your scanner. Recently you have incorporated LUFS so now PLR is the last thing we have to calculate with enormously long formula and it does not go to tags.
Added in version 0.6.9.

Can confirm that 0.6.8 with only RG+DR+POS enabled performs on the same level as 0.6.7 with RG+DR+POS+LRA.

Is your routine for calculating LUFS-S/M pretty much optimized already or do you expect to be able to implement some speedgains in the feature?

And second question: Would it be possible to use in 0.6.8+ the LRA method that was in use in 0.6.7 when scanning LUFS-S/M is not enabled?
I had actually introduced a very silly bug when I created a helper class for handling the libebur128 performed scans. The LUFS-M and LUFS-S values were always calculated every 100 ms even when the option was disabled. That is now fixed in version 0.6.9.

I could make LUFS-M and LUFS-S faster by calculating them less often. But then their accuracy would be somewhat reduced. I don't know at all how often other tools update these values, to my knowledge LUFS-M and LUFS-S were originally meant for live monitoring.

I'd also like to see if I could utilize the Peter's ReplayGain scanner optimizations to speed up the libebur library, I believe there is a lot of room for improvement there.

The Spatial Output component is completely independent output, it doesn't need anything else. It's a lot like WASAPI output except spatial mixer seems to have a fixed mixing rate independent of Windows mixer.
Sorry for being a bit slow tonight, but is your response above saying that foo_out_spatial incorporates normal multichannel support (like foo_out_xaudio2 once included Spatial Output capability), and foo_out_xaudio2 is therefore not needed?

1.4.2 works. Problem shows up in FLAC only when using --keep-foreign-metadata
I wonder, is it so simple that the "c" in "1.4.3c" makes for wrong length of the FACT chunk?

Both report wrong length in foobar2000:
233031632wk 5d 14:12:05.632 (6 215 345 139 887 599 616 samples)

1. Yes, in the File Browser, click the Options link and in the "Specify path to find images" you can edit it, or add additional paths separated by |. So in your case you would want to add |%artist%-%title%.%extension% to the end of it.
2. This is entirely dependent on the source, so if a certain source gives better results from it then you could edit the script of the source you are using to do some search and replace of the artist string before using it, but it's not something that can be done in general.
3. Make sure you have only one Search window open, check the box, then close the window. It should remember it. Confusion arises when there are multiple search windows open, as the last one to be closed will update the settings and 'win'.
4. On the sources you want to search first, click the ... link in the bottom right of the source in the list, then check the "Search first" box. There's no way to set an absolute priority list, but Search First will make AAD search only those sources first. If they return no results, sources without Search First will be searched. Or you can click the Search button a second time to manually trigger searching the non-Search-First sources (Extend Search).
5. I'll take a look at beatport when I get some time, sure.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Old 1.x versions usage
Last post by Chibisteven -
This explains why it kept crashing in 86box when attempting to play or load something.  Now it plays and loads without crashing.  Emulating an old Pentium II with XP Service Pack 3 installed in the screenshot below.  Ran it out of curiosity a while back.  Figured it had something to do with SEE2 instructions not being supported.  And no, this is not how I normally listen to music as I simply wanted to see if foobar2000 1.5 series could actually run inside 86box which doesn't emulate any hardware newer than the year 1999.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: lossyWAV 1.4.2 Development (was 1.5.0)
Last post by Nick.C -
The "ERROR reading foreign metadata" message probably relates to the addition of a "fact" chunk to the processed file, which contains information relating to how it was processed. You could try adding the "--keep-foreign-metadata" parameter to the FLAC command line to see if that improves the situation.

The file size warning is unexpected. Can you please process the original WAV file with lossyWAV 1.4.2 and see if that works? That would indicate to me whether the error is new (since I re-started development) or very old.

Validated News / Re: Winamp is opening its source code
Last post by forart.eu -
Well, according to many (here for example), the problem is the license that will be chosen for sources release: it'll not be FOSS very likely - since they consciously dribbled the "open source" term in this announcement - but proprietary, so this sounds a bit like "our software is definitely drowning, is anyone interested in relaunching it (for free) ?"

Nowadays it would be MUCH MORE interesting to have the foobar source code (under a FOSS license), IMHO.
