Thanks for those!

For PLR I'm using this (also posted by someone else on here), which is just nuts:

$puts(PLR,$if(%replaygain_track_peak_db%, $puts(PLR,$sub($mul($replace(%replaygain_track_peak_db%,.,),10),$sub($mul($replace(%replaygain_track_gain%,.,),-10),18000))) $puts(PLR_TEN,$left($right($get(PLR),3),2)) $puts(PLR_ROUND,$ifgreater($get(PLR_TEN),40,$add($get(PLR),100),$get(PLR)))$iflonger($get(PLR_ROUND),4,<$left($get(PLR_ROUND),2)<.$substr($get(PLR_ROUND),3,3),$left($get(PLR_ROUND),1)<.$substr($get(PLR_ROUND),2,2)),))$get(PLR)

Yep. That's the one :-D

What are the strings/title formatting we need to enter to get the DR and LRA values to show up in a Playlist column?

Would also be nice to have an easy way to show LUFS Integrated and Max LUFS M and Max LUFS S for each track. I use a long string now for LUFS-I, but be nice to have something that was more easily understandable.

$if(%replaygain_track_gain%,$puts(l,$sub(-1800,$replace(%replaygain_track_gain%,.,)))$div($get(l),100).$right($get(l),2) dB,)

And thanks Case for making this, it's fantastic.

LRA:
[$replace(%replaygain_track_range%, LU,)]

DR:
[%dynamic range%]

Doesn't give you colorcoding though.

Don't know about LUFS and PLR . I'm using a much more horrible oneliner than you borrowed from Regor.
I tried to make it more readable but failed miserably.

Polls / Re: Sound colors of codecs

Different codecs can introduce different type of coloration.

I can notice it especially on rock and metal genres.
Which codecs are these?

To all, especially the creator of this poll:

I fear people here interpret the term "coloration" quite differently.

Coloration (in both vision and acoustics, I would say) occurs when the intensity of certain frequencies in a signal is changed. The purpose of audio codecs, when used according to the developers' intentions, is not to color the sound in any way. Of course, at low bit-rates, audio codecs produce other types of compression artifacts like temporal or spectral smearing, as Sunhillow already mentioned. But at their intended operating rates, they try to represent the original signal as closely as possible, i.e., to maximize quality and fidelity. If a codec colors the sound during compression, there's no way it can achieve high quality and fidelity.

So none of the poll answers make any sense to me.

... 11025Hz low bitrate MP3's after realizing most Flash games were actually using 11025Hz low bitrate MP3's (they were sounding very good). 11025Hz low bitrate MP3's are easier to listen than the original ones for me.
So you like your audio to be downsampled, which obviously colors the sound because it removes high frequencies (and may even add aliased lower-frequency content). Or put differently, you're using the downsampling/upsampling as an audio effect.

That's perfectly fine with me, but has nothing to do with audio codecs. So sorry for the bluntness, but please don't confuse people with ToS-borderline terms like "good sound color" in the context of audio compression, giving such above-mentioned examples where MP3, a 30-year old codec, was not even operated according to the developers' intentions (32...48 kHz).

Last post by Case -
It's not SQL syntax, it's foobar's search query syntax. Correct way to write the query you tried to use is:
Code: [Select]
"$mod(%play_count%,3)" EQUAL 0
It has been said numerous times but I'll say again: you can test your query (if it doesn't use the component's built-in features) in foobar's library search dialog. You'll instantly get feedback if the syntax is right and will get a list of tracks that match the query.

Uploaded a new version and also published it on the official repository: https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_dr_meter.
Mainly improvements to the log writing, written average bitrate now matches foobar as it's properly weighted based on track lengths. Length info gets written even for tracks that don't report length to foobar as exact frame count is stored during scanning. And if album consists of various audio formats all the different formats will be listed at the bottom info section.

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by jaro1 -
If I don't assume differences in performance of binaries (same Flac git version, same compiler and version) prepared by different people, then these last optimizations are indeed significant even in my conditions (mobile Intel i5-8250U), but undoubtedly content-dependent.

Audio file 24/44, 1:20 hour, Flac compression "-4":
- Flac commit: 28e4f05, GCC14.1 (NetRanger) - ca. 440-450x
- Flac git-cfe3afca, GCC14.1 (Wombat) - ca. 495-505x
- Flac git-cfe3afca, GCC12.2 (Replica9K) - ca. 480-500x, fluctuates greatly during encoding

..but NetRanger's Clang compile is very slightly but constantly a winner
- Flac commit: 28e4f05, Clang 18.1.4 (NetRanger)- ca. 505-515x

The result of Clang for git-cfe3afca could therefore be quite interesting. However, if I understand correctly, under standard conditions with no external influences (software etc.) the difference between GCC13 and Clang18 should ideally be none. GCC14 is a bit below v.13 in performance for me as well.

Hi. I would like to use this plugin to spased repeated audio files for memorization. This requires a more complex formula than %rating% IS 1, but I've run into some difficulties. There is nothing in the manual except for the information that it supports sql syntax and a link to a page. However, that page states that sql query allows built-in functions starting with the $ sign. I tried writing a test expression $mod(%play_count,3) EQUAL 0, but it gives 0 all the time. I also tried using the foo_dynfil plugin, but its fields also output always 0.

Could you please extend the functionality of the formula parser or make a more advanced plugin based on the template of this simple one?
