Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)

Your first attempt at Rice improves more than a percent at compression and thirteen at speed? :-o

(IIRC, FLAC computes the Rice parameter as the average residual. It is close to optimal.)
Yes, there is acceleration in my experiments in any case. Especially in low entropy data, the efficiency of Rice coding decreases.
The JPEG-LS image format also uses Rice encoding. And calculates the parameter "k" retrospectively with a certain average. I calculated it in a similar way. Of course, the smaller the block size, the more accurate "k" values can be obtained. But in this case, we also have a lot of side information.
The adaptive method is better. I know you're doing a good job with my image compression studies. In this case, our work performance decreases significantly. For the most appropriate situation, this issue needs to be studied specifically.

I was putting off upgrading, but it wasn’t that bad.  Not done yet.  I have to mess around with ESLyric yet a bit. 
What are those lyric sources in Chinese writing? 
Can Deezer be added?
酷狗音乐 = lyrics.kugou.com
QQ音乐 = QQMusic
网易云音乐 = music.163.com

For Metallum and Minilyrics sources to use artist/title search instead of artist/album so they can be used with radio streams you need to add modified versions of them.  I did two which are attached below, they go into foobar2000\profile\eslyric-data\scripts\searcher, select as needed instead of the supplied ones.

You can add Deezer if you can supply your own Deezer API key and cookie inside the script; from TT-ReBORN as posted to GitHub: https://github.com/ESLyric/feedback/files/13062122/eslyric_source_deezer.zip

If you still have the "LyricsOnDemand" source it should be deleted--it was removed from the install last month due to memory leakage/not working status reported by TT-ReBORN.

Changing the pref.image.cache.limit setting in Advanced to 1 prevents memory bloat (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122571.msg1042107.html#msg1042107)

Songlyrics and Metallum have the habit of preventing a search from continuing to following sources if they pass a certain message about having the song indexed but no lyrics;  the workaround is to add the following entries to the "Lyric Processor" box:

That's all the ESLyric tips I have!

@sveakul moving your comments to the component's thread.  I am attempting to add the Deezer source, I have the API, but where can I find a cookie for it?  If I try to import the script as is it states "invalid or incompatible script file" see attached. 

Also, you mentioned 网易云音乐 as being "music.163.com", is that not NetEase?  Looks like they are one in the same.  This one seems to return Chinese and English text like this....

[01:01.90]And all the things you do,
[01:01.90]也因为我们共同的点滴

I see there is a NetEase English (synched) source avialable via online sources, that one works better for us English speakers.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Transferring foobar2000 settings
Last post by marc2k3 -
Upgrading should handle it automatically. If you have a standard install, your current settings live in %appdata%\foobar2000. The first time you run fb2k 2.0 or later, it will create a new folder %appdata%\foobar2000-v2 and it will import settings leaving the original files untouched.

If you have a portable install, just point the installer at the old folder and again it should be automatic. But there will no backup so I'd make your own first to be extra safe.

If you use 3rd party components then you can't easily migrate from 32bit->64bit. You have to track down all your needed components and install them manually. Of course not all have been updated. Sticking with 32bit fb2k 2+ is easiest for most.

General - (fb2k) / Transferring foobar2000 settings
Last post by Nick.C -
Is there any way to copy setttings from one foobar2000 installation to another, i.e. playlists, preferences, converter settings, visualisation settings?

I'd be transferring from v1.6.13 to the latest available.
