LossyWAV help

can someone give me a very basic way of setting this up on foonbar2000 because i have no clue on what do or what goes where. i tried using the lossywav wiki but its too technical for me to be any use.

IIRC the foo_converter.cfg I posted few months ago had personalizations for lossywav as well, download it from here and test it: http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php...st&p=869979

Post #21 is the last version.

Open foobar2000, hold shift - File - Browse configuration folder -> put it inside the folder "configuration".

After that, right click a file -> Convert, you'll see the list.

You need the CLI/Encoders in the \foobar2000\encoders folder. lossywav.exe? flac.exe? Which lossywav are you interested in?

Sorry I didn't touch that file for a while, for lossywav the folder must be C:\foobar2000\encoders (you can do as portable maybe another copy).

Which LossyWAV meaning: FLAC, TAK, WV, WMALSL.

I am testing the file right now.

edit:
The configuration file was setup for D:\foobar2000\encoders not C:. Just go in the settings and change the two D: (one for lossywav.exe and one for flac.exe for example) and resave it. Everything will work.

Configuration for LossyWAV FLAC:

Code: [Select]
Encoder file: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Extension: lossy.flac

Parameters: /d /c C:\foobar2000\encoders\lossywav - --quality standard --silent --stdout|C:\foobar2000\encoders\flac - -b 512 -5 -f -o %d --ignore-chunk-sizes

Format is: Lossless (or hybrid)

BPS: 24

Encoder name: lossyWAV (FLAC)

Bitrate: empty

Settings: --quality standard | -5 --ignore-chunk-sizes

Its unlikely you installed foobar2k where that script assumes. Change the path in it to match where foobar really is on your machine.

Forget foobar2000 for now, can you even get LossyWav by itself working at all? Are you using the latest LossyWav binary? NickC puts expiration dates on development versions that become unusable after a while.

Get a .wav file, open a command prompt and try running LossyWav on it. If even that doesn't work, then the problem is not with the foobar2000 config but lies elsewhere.

so i just installed the germanix trancoder because i just found out it has a built in lossyWAV processor. after messing about with it i finally got a lossyflac file because when open it up foonbar its bit rate is 321kbps while the original flac i made it from is 1067kbps.
