Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by Porcus -
https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=LossyWAV ;  IDK if HALAC could (easily) be adapted to 512 bytes per block.

My idea was more, if one wants to throw a bone to those who want a lossy version of HALAC - then making for it to work with LossyWAV would enable those users to work out settings at their preferred bit rates and see how it compares to other compressors.
Since the compression part is lossless (the lossiness is in the LossyWAV pre-processor), there would be no considerations about audio quality between compressors - speed and size would still be comparable in an apples to apples way.

This forum does have a practice for guest-ifying an account, and I think they must have one. How that must be to comply with whatever legal regulations are applicable given server location blah blah blah, is way above my paygrade.

I would suggest that users rather put effort into constructively rectify whatever "disinformation propaganda" be posted, rather than this ritual whining - after all, @mycroft being present on the forum has led to fast code fixes that would otherwise be subject to a bigger bureaucracy - but that is just another opinion of mine, that is pretty much orthogonal to whatever rights a user has to divorce the forum.

HALAC can only compress WAV files at the moment. I just heard about the LossyWAV format a few days ago. This is happening because of the shift in header information. No problem, it can be easily handled.

As far as I have seen and understood, LossyWAV does not do direct compression. I think he's preparing the data by making it lossy so that it can be compressed better. Because the data obtained at the end of the process are in the same dimensions. However, their content is different and can be compressed better afterwards. However, the processing speed was below 10 MB/s even in standard mode(i7 3770k). This period does not include the subsequent compression process load.

Support - (fb2k) / [MAC] Problems with file operations on SMB share
Last post by ongaku -
I'm using the latest foobar2000 version (2.7 preview 2024-05-06) and have encountered a problem with file operations. My music resides on an SMB share. If I use file operations to move files inside my media library, then foobar2000 doesn't recognize that files are already present and match the pattern.

Here are the files on the share:

Here's foobar2000 wanting to move them although they're already there:

And here's foobar2000 not exhibiting this behaviour (as expected) when the media library is on a local disk:

best setting for crossfade or component for a 64bit computer

Quote from: Case on
There's no "best setting" for something that is purely subjective.

Quote from: telboy1812 on
okay no worries

There is no "best settings", but as amateur web broadcaster i have experience with F2K, so i have several good settings for crossfading and overlapping tracks.
If someone of you guys wanna try these settings, send me message.

I'll be looking into that at some point. Thank you for the thread link btw marc2k3.

2) properties are not in dark mode
Unfortunately. I messed around with the SDK's new dark-mode helper hook stuff but some window elements didn't want to be colored so I disabled it and left it for another time.
Quote from: ASopH on
and a little request: is it possible to place quicksearch in toolbar?
If marc2k3 says it's not possible (with Default UI) then I guess not haha

The EU's right to be forgotten rule allows individuals to request that organizations remove and delete personal information about them from online platforms.

How much personal information is there (on the HA forum)?  Only what the user has deliberately added, apart from a few minor details when creating an account.

Deleting an account (along with any associated posts) risks corrupting discussions and information.  Anonymising the account would be more appropriate.
