MP3 - General / Re: ffmpeg: A buggy MP3 (MPEG-2 mode) decoder?

Last post by Case - Today at 00:22

FFmpeg has indeed been fixed for a long time. Produces practically identical output to lame decoder. Though sadly I think this issue has went unnoticed in foobar2000 land. All versions prior to v2.0 use an ancient FFmpeg that still chirps.

edit: I hope it goes without saying that fb2k should be closed before any edits are made. Also, I'd make backups just to be safe.

Nice thanks. Normally I shouldn't have to use it, it's for cases where they might be ambiguity about what files I've made external tags for, changing file names or directories etc.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Library Tree Discussion

Last post by aelklirion - Today at 00:02

I've got a problem with something I'm trying to do: I want to rely on folder organization rather than tagging to organize and navigate my music library cause it's too big to go through every album and add the tags, at least for now. So I basically want to set up foobar to work as a folder explorer. This is my library's structure:

My Music
[Artist]
[Type of audio (vinyl, CD, hi-res, etc.)]
[Download, e.g. "complete vinyl collection", "discography", sometimes individual albums]
[Year] - [Album]
Files

So I've created 4 Library Tree panels, set each as the source of the next one, and selected folder structure view for all of them. But rather than acting as I expected, with each panel taking me further down the folder structure, instead they all show the same root directory and don't interact. What do I have to do to make each panel act as a filter for the next one? Also, is there a way to show nothing in the 3rd panel if what is selected in the 2nd panel is an album folder instead of folder with a collection of albums?

For Lyrics, is there an offset indicator when scrolling the lyrics up and down? It's really difficult to navigate without knowing the exact starting point.

3.4.29

https://jscript-panel.github.io/docs/changes/

Changes for script authors only. I've made some changes to some plman methods so they don't return true/false any more as it was kind of pointless. If removing a playlist or sorting it fails, what are you doing with that information? Spamming the console or popping up a message would be daft.

I recommend checking playlist lock status to prevent such actions in the first place. As an example, the included playlist managers have always greyed out items if a playlist can't be removed or renamed.

Hi everyone, I'm new to foobar, I just started using it. I wanted to know if there is the possibility of attaching the album cover to a music file by taking the image online. When I right-click on the audio file, tagging and then attach pictures there is no option to choose the image from an online database but only to choose an image saved locally on the PC.

I still hear the chirp artifacts with headphones. LAME is a better decoder than FFmpeg for that type of files.

Which ffmpeg version? A new was released five weeks ago.

Speech Codecs / No ACELP.KELVIN encoder!

Last post by MihaiPopa12346 - 2024-05-09 21:15:43

Hello, I heard about this format: ACELP.KELVIN
It's like ACELP.net but it also supports stereo encoding.
Searched "ACELP.KELVIN encoder", but no luck.

This is the stereo file:
