That page also recommends using 'User Defined Encoder' instead of 'LAME MP3 Encoder' preset.
Thanks - I missed that.

That text is correct for legacy versions. The newer versions use longer strings and the text runs off the page but can be copied in full.
It doesn't look right to me - it looks truncated. The suggested string is: -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -5 %s

I recompressed 5 24/96 random albums with your -8b8192 -A "subdivide_tukey(5);welch;hann;flattop" and several files indeed come out smaller against simple -8ep but the average clearly not. 4.793.262k
Default -8ep, standard 4096 blocksize 4.788.876k
Out of curiosity -epb8192 -A "subdivide_tukey(5);welch;hann;flattop" 4.790.732
Somehow i believe the very best compromise for high bitrate material is still out there.
Still a few strange things like I just tried to insert a cd with eac running and it kept kicking out the disk. I exited eac, inserted the disk and then started eac and all was fine.

I also noticed a truncated string on this page: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_and_FLAC under: "If you are using EAC 1.0b1 or earlier, then in the Additional command line options box, copy and paste the following string: " Doesn't affect me but just noticed the error.

Yes, with the tagging functionality of foo_sqlite by defining the tag as an SQLite tag.
Ok, just seen it. Will try experimenting with it.

Only indirectly by using the possibility to materialize the virtual media library table. You could add one ore more triggers to the materialized table which are doing the calculation. Not only when adding new files to the library, also when updating the rating tag. But these triggers need to be carefully designed to avoid endless recursions or too long running updates.
Too complex for me at this moment; I barely understand the basics right now. I appreciate the component capabilities but functionality/docs are abstract as hell (for me).

A better solution would be to use the format() function:
... format('%.2f',round(sum(rating*length_seconds)/sum(length_seconds),2)) as albumrating ...
I tried the format function as first solution and it didn't work at all for me. Maybe I didn't use it properly though. In docs I always find that SQL format works like this: FORMAT (value, format [, culture])
Buy you are reversing the args there (?) Just checking now, the reversed version works xd so that was the problem.

Interesting. I thought it was the flac encoder that was causing trouble but deleting the command line for mp3 seems to have eliminated the error. Still a few strange things like I just tried to insert a cd with eac running and it kept kicking out the disk. I exited eac, inserted the disk and then started eac and all was fine. I was just using what was recommended on the guide page for adding tags but that seems to cause the errors: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_and_Lame

I put the original SACD disk into the Oppo 205. I recorded the analog output into Pro Tools to make a WAV file.
Without changing any settings or cabling or any levels, I put a USB drive into the Oppo 205 and played the DSF file (which I had extracted from the SACD disk). I recorded the analog output into Pro Tools to make a WAV file.
The levels are the same. I loaded the two resulting WAV files into Foobar2000 to do the ABX tests.
(Unless one had two identical Oppo players to play back both sources and could switch between them, I don't have another practical way to conduct this test,)
- Is it possible to automatically re-calculate this tag when new files are added to the library?

Do you have archive files (ZIP/RAR/7Z) in folders being added?
I have all the files (24551) in folders and sub folders "artist/several albums" (2571 albums) in mp3 format and folder.jpg in each folder, no cue files or any other kind of files. all of those files are in a 500GB SD card, in a folder called 'Music' ocupying about 400GB, hope this helps.... and 62 playlists...
