Sorry for such a basic question, but in my Library Viewer, the highlighted track does coincide with the track playing.
If you have Playback -> "Cursor follows playback" enabled, your "purple bar" will always highlight the track playing at the commencement of every track change, until or if you opt to "browse unfettered". If you're browsing Finns, once there's the track change from Midnight Oil's "Rising Seas" to "The Barka..." the highlight will reflect that 'til you go back to browsing

Wow almost a decade of using foobar and i never knew thats what that did WEIRD

What's that spike at 1KHz?  It can't be that most of the music is situated at around 1KHz range.
EDIT:  Got it, it wasn't music, just a sinewave test, at 1KHz   O:)
I already posted some 30 seconds classical music audio files and plots in Reply #26 above, so you can check them out if desired. Perhaps you can do some ABX tests too.

When using music as input, the music spectrum will cover up most of the < 20kHz range so that it is impossible to check the noise floor clearly.

Also, the presence of a test tone can be used to align different plots. Without a tone, the spectrum can be shifted up or down in a confusing way which could be unfair.

In RMAA, every test has a different plot, so I only posted some of them to avoid spamming the page too much.

You can see an example of a more detailed report in the attached 7z file below:

You can add a column to playlist viewer called Playing then it will show a little play icon on the currently playing track

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying.
What DClaville is referring to is customizing your playlists columns, that currently are Artist | Track # | Title | Duration | Bit Depth | Sample Rate. If you clicked away to browse, and wanted to glance over at the playlist to see the non-highlighted track that was playing, you can create & include/insert a custom column to denote it. Preferences > DUI > Playlist View -> Custom columns (Name = Playing or ♫) Pattern = $if(%queue_indexes%,%queue_indexes%·)$if(%ispaused%,$char(9612),$if(%isplaying%,$char(9654)))

Well, I believe that the target-question should be: "How to correctly feed a DSD into a lossy encoder in order to obtain the best possible quality result ?"
That's another good way of putting it, yes  ;)

  Just because you can hear pure-loud 20kHz signals in a hearing test doesn't mean you'll hear them in music.   And not everybody can hear up to 20kHz. 
(...)
But if you have too much frequency range sometimes you can get unwanted side-effects with subsonic or ultrasonic signals or capability...   You don't want subsonic or ultrasonic "junk" going through your amplifier and to your speakers

Two pertinent facts, thank you. Also, DC in audio? A continuous voltage? That isn't even audio anymore, why did the MP3 format allow that?

The filter length is 729, longer than the other two filters (641), so will take more processing power. However, despite the longer filter length, noise rejection below 20kHz and above 50kHz is still slightly worse than the other two shorter filters. The S-Audio filter probably spend too much on the not very meaningful "passband ripple of 0.00001 dB".

What's that spike at 1KHz?  It can't be that most of the music is situated at around 1KHz range.

Thanks for your inputs guys.  :))

Sorry for such a basic question, but in my Library Viewer, the highlighted track does coincide with the track playing.
If you have Playback -> "Cursor follows playback" enabled, your "purple bar" will always highlight the track playing at the commencement of every track change, until or if you opt to "browse unfettered". If you're browsing Finns, once there's the track change from Midnight Oil's "Rising Seas" to "The Barka..." the highlight will reflect that 'til you go back to browsing


THIS - That is what I needed. Thank you John.   -- The confusion is cursor follows playback has an expressly specific meaning in professional audio.  It means that when you stop playing, it will pick up again.  The other option is playback returns the the starting point when play was hit (in a track).  So, this language means something else to me.  Sorry for the dumb question, and thank you all for taking time out of your day to respond.

yes but if you select a artist or genre and even just one album and want to play a different track then what is playing currently you have to be able to select it and click play or double click it. so you cant do that but as i said you can just add the playing column so it shows what track is being played as it seems thats what you are after

And what you are browing in on the left side is a different component called Library viewer that is separate from play list viewer that you have on the right side there

Thanks for the help!

I noticed that if there are only 2 graphics in the folder (for example, front and back covers), when I go to the second photo, it automatically changes to the first one after a second or two. When there are 3 photos (front cover, back cover, disc) this problem does not occur. One more question - if the name of the disc file is also in .png, should I enter:

this.files.push(this.folder + "\\disc.jpg;disc.png");

?

Edit:

Okay, I see that now the covers saved in the file are not displayed, only those in the folder. Can't you combine it so that the built-in ones and those in the folder are displayed? Do you have to do either way?

I dont think thats possible and if it did that how could you browse around while something is playing?

I've always been able to browse unfettered while anything else plays.

Here I'm viewing a Neil Finn record (and any other one I want) while Midnight Oil Plays.
