3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Playlist-Tools-SMP
Last post by Koshingg -I solved the problem by resetting the toolbar, then I reimported the user presets for the Playlist Tools, the other buttons didn't have many settings, so nothing is lost.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Playlist-Manager-SMP
Last post by Koshingg -I remembered that I created a smart playlist , probably 2-3 months ago....I removed that smart playlist and everything seems ok now, that error doesn't appear. I'll send you a PM with the details of that smart playlist, just in case it's useful.
But there is one more issue....something that I forgot to mention last time. I also have this error:

General - (fb2k) / Re: Lame Settings for Foobar Conversion, CBR 128
Last post by Apesbrain -Then I guess the only important part here:Well, some of those other parts are important as the conversion won't run without them. But, yes, you've got the idea.Code: [Select]-S --noreplaygain -b 128 - %dis the "-b 128" right?
The bitrate options are CBR, ABR (rarely used), and VBR:

For playback in the car, I typically encode to -V4.

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: Tested: Lossless decoding speed, multithreaded - and fast verification
Last post by Porcus -With quite extreme settings, including blocksize 16 - that malice paid off ...
Turns out ffmpeg refused to remux the uncompressed flac streams into any of the three containers I tried.
Container overhead
* flac -5 is a sane setting, and the biggest overhead for that one was 0.44 percent (not percentage points) for OGG container
* Blocksize 16 is just nuts, but for what the file sizes are worth - .wav in the middle. No padding:
323 001 659 ¨3x.flac-8b16.flac
328 733 400 ¨3x.flac-8b16.flac.oga
331 702 604 ¨3x.wav
343 738 725 ¨3x.flac-8b16.flac.mp4
354 113 911 ¨3x.flac-8b16.flac.mka
9.6 percent penalty for putting it in Matroska. I used ffmpeg, comments like ffmpeg -i ¨3x.flac-8b16.flac -acodec copy -vn -sn ¨3x.flac-8b16.flac.mka
For sorting I moved the ".oga" etc. to a separate column. ¨3x.flac-5.flac <tab> .oga means the file is an OGG containered ¨3x.flac-5.flac.oga . (The reason for the "¨" is to make sure the test audio files had a character nothing else had.)

So table does not list speed for ffmpeg without -threads, nor for the following:
* the same entire thing ran on USB3-connected spinning drive. Differences were just very minor. These figures are on internal SSD.
* reference flac.exe decoding -8pr8 --lax -l32 because human error
* ogg/mp4/mkv decoded with ffmpeg -threads 1, those were pretty much the same as .flac speeds
* same for the -8b16 in containers, those were just as horrible as .flac
Yes blocksize 16 decodes slow, but ffmpeg just does it terribly.
All ffmpeg had a "-hide_banner -loglevel error" but I don't know if that matters when hyperfine doesn't display it.
I also went the other way with a bigger file, 219 minutes. No fancy table formatting here, I just paste hyperfine output. No containers tested that time. Fastest decoding took 1.054 seconds, and then:
Code: [Select]

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: Index tables for unofficial IMA ADPCM bit depths
Last post by Bogozo -@Case Codec's are not only required for high-performance computers, they are also required for tiny microcontroller's and etc.. Using a modern codec like MP3 can be very hard or impossible with these tiny MCU's and etc.. So, ADPCM is still required for some low processing power tasks. I'm asking this because i want to use ADPCM with Arduino. Anyway, thanks for recommendation.Are you going to use "tiny MCU" to decode or to encode?

General - (fb2k) / Re: Tagging with an iterative loop e.g. tag automatically according to folder order
Last post by timalina -I've never used foo_sqlite or Masstagger, but I'll look into them. Even if it's not the solution I'm looking for, perhaps I'll find a better way once I work them out.
Thanks, but I've got thousands of folders without a consistent structure, so parsing strings would be laborious.You could do it with foo_sqlite, but if you're just doing one album at a time it's probably just as easy to do it with Masstagger scripts and keyboard shortcuts e.g. one script to set discnumber to 1 (Ctrl+1), one to set discnumber to 2 (Ctrl+2) e.t.c., and do it from the playlist window.
Also, I'm wanting to edit the album tags as I go (to removed 'CD 1'-type suffixes and make the album tags identical, so manual tagging would be quicker than parsing.
Really, I'd want something that works in a similar way to the 'Auto track number' function, but for Discnumbers.
I don't use the Properties panel for editing but given there's an 'Auto track number' I'm surprised there's not an equivalent for discnumber.
