Last post by Kraeved - Rescue rangers, we have a situation related to the CBR mode with a low bitrate. Unlike LAME, the -B flag of Helix sets the value for each channel, so to get 320 kbps, we enter 160, respectively, to get 24 kbps, I entered 12. But this time the encoding did not go as expected.
a) gudki.11khz.mono.mp3 and gudki.22khz.mono.mp3 are malformed files (24 293 bytes), apps refuse to open them b) gudki.22khz.stereo.mp3 is the only file here that is both encoded as expected (24 kbit/s) and playable c) gudki.44khz.stereo.wav is not encoded with this setting at all, but the error message is quite vague
The component can do a great many things without a UI. In Columns UI, you can hide panels so that's easy enough...
I understand much better, I am satisfied with my findings and will proceed with a few example projects in the coming week, thank you for explaining to me all of this, especially the last part.
3. Yes, most likely it overwrites tags, since they have to be updated with every play. However you should be able to import tags to database first, on the right-click tracks > Playback Statistics menu. Then your tag ratings would also be in the database and get written back to tags. (Test it first on one track to be safe)
Apologies, I wasn't clear. I meant to ask if this will replace all of my existing ratings with nothing when I select Automatically Synchronize File Tags. Meaning, will all of the ratings I already added be replaced with an empty value?

There is something wrong about Lancer mod 2021-05-11 hosted on RareWares. It is unable to correctly encode WAV when its sampling rate is less or equal to 11025 Hz: SSE2 version outputs silence, SSE3 outputs heavily distorted sound. All other Vorbis encoders (original, Aotuv, Venc aka Aotuv 2021-03-20, FFMPEG's libvorbis) do the job as expected.
P.S. Also, Lancer mod section on the website is missing its own anchor, <a name="oggenc-aotuv"> is used instead.

Ok, now the problem is clear. There is no row having he value "composers (67)" in BadFieldTable. With the following query and batch it should work:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS BadFieldTable; CREATE TABLE BadFieldTable AS WITH BadFields AS ( SELECT composers, composersort, composersortorder, conductor, album, discnumber, tracknumber, path, subsong FROM MediaLibrary WHERE coalesce(composers, composersort, composersortorder, conductor) IS NOT NULL ) SELECT fieldname || ' (' || count(fieldname) OVER(PARTITION BY fieldname) || ')' Node1, * FROM ( SELECT 'composers' fieldname, * FROM BadFields WHERE composers IS NOT NULL UNION ALL SELECT 'composersort', * FROM BadFields WHERE composersort IS NOT NULL UNION ALL SELECT 'composersortorder', * FROM BadFields WHERE composersortorder IS NOT NULL UNION ALL SELECT 'conductor', * FROM BadFields WHERE conductor IS NOT NULL );

Feature request for Peakmeter part (and to the extent, spectrum/spectrogram visualization): A feature to display Mid/Side representations of all stereo/surround pairs like this
This can be useful for letting me know if the particular song have phase-related/mono-compatibility issues, even though foobar2000 is not a DAW obviously

The ability to change between playlist sidebar and album list. I use F2K "for ever" in windows and now it seems another program. Almost crippled.

I have most of the "test" CDs after about 1990, including the Stereophile's, Chesky, both Sheffield/XLO, etc. I don't have CD-CHECK (tm). But, honestly, most of the ones that came out after ~1988 are worthless for techs. For example, that Philips Audio Signals Disc 1 – SBC 429 , has a whopping 99 tracks. This and other Philips test CDs were put out by one of the formats' developers. It comes right out of the R&D dept. Not sure Sony put out their own suite other than YEDS (which is on Archive). Denon may have, as one you noted above:
One critical, must-have track, as was often reported on in Measurements section of reviews, of Stereo Review, Audio and even Stereophile (for a while), was/is/remains the SQUARE WAVE test. It's importance (in audio) is controversial, to say the least. But it is very weird and interesting how folks go out of their way to discredit it -- especially when it comes to is application in digital audio:
