Listening Tests / Re: My tests of AAC/Vorbis/Opus at 128 Kbps VRB vs Flac. (Again).
Last post by Phoenix1 -
Alright, after this many years I happened to run into this post and I decided to repeat the opus vs flac test to see if my hearing hasn't changed.

A lot has happened ever since then, for once I now longer use windows lol (had to install foobar with wine), I also don't have the same soundcard, I use to use a Xonar DG and now I use the apple usb-c to 3.5mm adapter. But I still use the same old superlux 668B.

And I was able to pull it off:



Code: [Select]
foo_abx 2.2.1 report
foobar2000 v2.1.5
2024-05-05 04:16:19

File A: 18. Anea Landing short.flac
SHA1: 0da3ad16de4d4ddc4f5f2e1b7d9a0c92f526b99e
File B: 18. Anea Landing short.opus
SHA1: fc74e5273b414c896b7f4b0544f354a91b474db6

Output:
Default : Primary Sound Driver
Crossfading: NO

Nice.

I noticed that if you sort by date, you have 2 components from 2022 (Stereo Convolution DSP and Taskbar Playback Progress Bar). It seems they are also compiled with the wrong FOOBAR2000_TARGET_VERSION like the issue I reported with foo_pd_aac recently.

The external tags were stored in the files you deleted. foobar2000 caches metadata and it will only automatically read the tags from files again if it sees the file has changed. If you want to handle things manually you'll need to manually force foobar to reload info from files. You can for example do that by holding down shift when you right click a file, then choose 'Tagging' -> 'Reload info from file(s)'.

If you had removed the external tags with the component, it would have done the metadata refresh for you. But if there is nothing for it to remove, it will not do anything.
That makes sense, changing the external tags doesn't change the files like it happens with internal tags so foobar sees no reason to reload the files. I tried what you said and it worked, thanks.

Hi all. I can't wait to use this addon. As a new user to foobar2000, i have encountered an error on loading. i have the 64bit version installed and am receiving this error on launch
Failed to load DLL: foo_musical_spectrum.dll
Reason: Not a valid Win32 application.

Am i correct in assuming it will only run on the 32bit version?
TIA
Yes. It's 32bit only.

A remake (and then some) is available here.

I've got a question about where the external tags are stored cause they're not behaving as I expected: when I use only the SQLite mode (settings I used shown in picture 1), add external tags to some files, and then delete the external-tags.db file that is created in AppData\Roaming\foobar2000-v2, the external tags are still on the files. Same thing with the folder tags mode (picture 2): when I delete the folder.tag file the external tags remain. Shift right-clicking and selecting Remove external tags also doesn't revert the files to their pre-external tags state. I have confirmed that the audio files are not altered so I didn't accidentally change their internal tags, so why aren't the external tags removed when I delete the SQLite database file or the .tag files? Where is foobar getting them from? Does External Tags have a cache somewhere I should delete?
