MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by [JAZ] -
oh, I forgot to reply to your second question.

No. nspsytune means "Naoki shibata psychoacoustics tuning", and it's one of the tunings of LAME. Although currently I don't remember if they are used in the most recent versions of LAME or not.

Helix is a descendant of the Xing MP3 encoder. As you said, RealNetworks bought Xing, so it also got the encoder.
The changes that have been done to this encoder here in this topic are mostly about preserving and improving the user experience, not about sound quality (other than, maybe fixing bugs due to uninitialized variables or similar).

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests

There should be intel CPU's late this year with APX at earliest. Doubt it'll be in Zen5, might be in Zen6, designs are done years in advance and intel will have kept it back for competitive advantage. I doubt the gcc support is ready, they have to start adding it in now to make sure it's in good shape by next year.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Discord Rich Presence Integration (foo_discord_rich)
Last post by puuyo -
I am no longer able to get Discord Rich Presence to work anymore. It was working for me at the beginning of this year, but now no longer works.

OS: Windows11
foobar2k version: 2.1.5

Discord appears to be detecting foobar2k, but when I select a song as shown in the pictures below it doesn't seem to work.

I even tried to follow the steps another user suggested in the thread prior but it does not work. (Settings in the images were after I reset since it did not appear to do anything)
EDIT: sorry to necro this thread, but it seemed better to post here than make another thread.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Masstagger Script: Title Case
Last post by KthugS -
It's really useful, but I found one problem.
If you use Title_Case_foorious
When the title is "I am" or "I Am", it becomes "I AmI Am".

This is an old topic, but please keep this in mind for those who visit here in the future.
Also, check out those who are already using Title_Case_foorious

Anyway, what happened 15 years ago that led to foorious being banned?
or will I automatically be banned if I simply don't visit for a long time?

I replyed to the link page above
It's moved here
I don't know why, but I just went to Google's guide. ;)

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: External Tags
Last post by gadgetogogo -
Thank you for developing and maintaining this great component!

I have a use case that is probably uncommon and unsupported, but thought I'd ask in case I'm missing something. I am trying to use external tags to work on tagging when I'm away from home. At home, I created external tags for all tracks in my library (a folder on my PC that is included in the media library) on my portable foobar installation on a USB key. When I'm on another computer without access to the library, I can still see those tracks in my autoplaylist, but I cannot change their metadata. This is obviously expected for the internal tags, but I was hoping the external tags could be edited, considering the external tag database is on the USB key.

The idea would be to commit the changes made when I'm away to the internal tags next time I'm at home, when the files are accessible again. Is this possible with external tags or not at all ? I am using the SQLite database, if that matters.
Thanks in advance !

Last post by IgorKon -
Аt tango parties (milongas) music is played by "tandas" - groups of compositions, 3 or 4 in a row. "Tanda" is a small playlist, an element of a whole milonga playlist.
I need to store information about the tanda as a tag for it as a playlist. For example, it is important for me to know where I played a particular tanda.
