General - (fb2k) / Re: Perry's ID3 Tag Viewer

The old homepage accessed through archive.org tells that you drag and drop MP3 files to the left grid. So usage should be quite simple.
Note that seeing what ID3v2 tag fields a file has doesn't require any special software. Just open the file in hex editor or decent text editor and you can see all the details of the tag fields and their contents. The field names are just short strings.

Thanks for your answer. I saw the part about Recycle Bin in the manual, but since it made no mention of the specific problem I'm facing, I thought it might be something different. I could add a Recycle Bin on my home machine following the instructions, but I'm using my USB key mostly at work, where I have no admin rights and therefore registry editing is not an option. From everything I've read online, it's completely impossible to disable the confirmation on Shift+Delete (which is what's happening here). Which makes sense as a general OS policy tbh, but turns out to be frustrating in this case.
I'm definitely open to do some testing if that can help, and interested in a way to disable .old files as well.

I'm not certain how that image relates to DR Meter. But if the horizontal axel is frequency in Hz there doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary going on. Normal 44.1 kHz CD sourced material looks a lot like that apart from the dip after 8 (kHz?).

Though I have to wonder about hte scale, it is very strange and hard to read. Majority used for low bass frequencies, tiny bit for most audible mid frequencies and tiny slice for higher audible frequencies. Huge part on the visualization area on the right is wasted for frequencies that don't even exist in the source signal. And absolutely random frequencies chosen to be labeled. I have no idea where that red line is even positioned.

The scale I use is Octaves from C0 to B11, but I display it in Hz.  The red line has already been described by TF3RDL.  I didn't think this was a DR Meter issue, but as you pointed out, it seems very odd that there's a dip between 8kHz and about 12kHz.  Playing Toto "Rosanna" - which is almost completely flat across the 20 - 20kHz spectrum - there is still a slight dip in that region but not nearly as severe.  Must just be the way I have the component frequencies configured.  Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I never had such problems, even using foobar on another drives; but your problem may be those drives don't have a recycle bin. That's said I never saw such popups, just that you could not restore the files. That's a windows thing (not related to SMP) and probably you will get better support at another forum about it. Is beyond my knowledge (how to suppress such popups).

BUT if you read the manual PDF, at known problems and Advanced tips ("Recycle Bin on network drives"), there is a section related to network drives which should also work on USB keyss. I mean... if you don't find a way to suppress the popup, at least you can enable the recycle bin and it should work.

Finally, if you are willing to test a bit, I could look for another way to delete files without such prompt. So it can be enabled by users in cases like yours. If nothing helps, will either point you to the lines you have to remove to fully disable the .old files. The backups can be disabled by setting the backup interval to zero.

There are various influences, so at least I tried to compensate for that with enough attempts.
For me, good stable results with minimal differences.
The helix code is pretty immune to additional compiler options that can speed up things for flac for example.
As you can see fast-math like @john33  uses it at least gives a few %.
Thanks for the info. To properly "grasp" those results I should have stated that fact to distinguish those two GCC binaries properly, so I apologize. Editing is no longer possible, so I just hope that your reply was not missed by an attentive reader.
