Other Lossy Codecs / Re: lossyWAV 1.4.2 Development (was 1.5.0)

1.4.2 works. Problem shows up in FLAC only when using --keep-foreign-metadata
I wonder, is it so simple that the "c" in "1.4.3c" makes for wrong length of the FACT chunk?

Both report wrong length in foobar2000:
233031632wk 5d 14:12:05.632 (6 215 345 139 887 599 616 samples)

1. Yes, in the File Browser, click the Options link and in the "Specify path to find images" you can edit it, or add additional paths separated by |. So in your case you would want to add |%artist%-%title%.%extension% to the end of it.
2. This is entirely dependent on the source, so if a certain source gives better results from it then you could edit the script of the source you are using to do some search and replace of the artist string before using it, but it's not something that can be done in general.
3. Make sure you have only one Search window open, check the box, then close the window. It should remember it. Confusion arises when there are multiple search windows open, as the last one to be closed will update the settings and 'win'.
4. On the sources you want to search first, click the ... link in the bottom right of the source in the list, then check the "Search first" box. There's no way to set an absolute priority list, but Search First will make AAD search only those sources first. If they return no results, sources without Search First will be searched. Or you can click the Search button a second time to manually trigger searching the non-Search-First sources (Extend Search).
5. I'll take a look at beatport when I get some time, sure.

This explains why it kept crashing in 86box when attempting to play or load something.  Now it plays and loads without crashing.  Emulating an old Pentium II with XP Service Pack 3 installed in the screenshot below.  Ran it out of curiosity a while back.  Figured it had something to do with SEE2 instructions not being supported.  And no, this is not how I normally listen to music as I simply wanted to see if foobar2000 1.5 series could actually run inside 86box which doesn't emulate any hardware newer than the year 1999.

The "ERROR reading foreign metadata" message probably relates to the addition of a "fact" chunk to the processed file, which contains information relating to how it was processed. You could try adding the "--keep-foreign-metadata" parameter to the FLAC command line to see if that improves the situation.

The file size warning is unexpected. Can you please process the original WAV file with lossyWAV 1.4.2 and see if that works? That would indicate to me whether the error is new (since I re-started development) or very old.

Validated News / Re: Winamp is opening its source code

Well, according to many (here for example), the problem is the license that will be chosen for sources release: it'll not be FOSS very likely - since they consciously dribbled the "open source" term in this announcement - but proprietary, so this sounds a bit like "our software is definitely drowning, is anyone interested in relaunching it (for free) ?"

Nowadays it would be MUCH MORE interesting to have the foobar source code (under a FOSS license), IMHO.
