General - (fb2k) / Re: DADA Auto-Rating (DAR) for foobar2000
Last post by Daeron -
Makes sense. DADA still works pretty well (has been using it a long time) and I doubt the addition of skips would significantly change the behavior so I didn't find it worthwhile to try to rework it myself, but asked just in case someone has more interest/time for it. I agree that tracking total time spent listening on a per track basis would be the way to go if we ever got that functionality.

A long, long time ago (2008) the SKIP function was initially integrated in DAR (as the skip component worked with an unofficial playback-statistics component (CUI only?).  However, it was dropped and the reasoning, IIRC was reasonably sound:
See:  https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,62864.msg566241.html#msg566241
and :  https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,63287.0.html

A philosophical discussion on the meaning of hitting next.

Ultimately, all this would be moot, if a component recorded total listening time on a per track basis instead of playcount.  But that never happened.  DAR was really created in the hope that some day a component would record that, because then you get a good notional playcount by dividing total listening time by track length.  This then sorts out the penalty requirement for a skip (if there should be one at all).

This is all a long time ago.  I still use foobar2000 and DAR, but I'm so busy on other stuff - I'd only even think about going back to adapt the code, if we had a component that dealt with total track listening time.

Hope that helps,

Dear musimath,

There is no hurry... by the way, your setup looks very nice!
Although I try to avoid grey over black as much as possible.

To remove individual albums:

The H:\LR_Classical entry should be cleared.
Instead of adding the H:\LR_Classical folder as a whole to the ML, open the folder first, as you did with the Schubert and Beethoven entries.

About the properties window that refuses to close when trying to save changes,
you should post here any error messages you see below the 'Tools' button.
Press 'Apply' after updating the Album Artist field, take note of the error message and post it in you next post.

Cheers!

Dear da yuyu,
Thank you for your kind answer.

I don't understand, You wrote:
The H:\LR_Classical entry should be cleared.
Instead of adding the H:\LR_Classical folder as a whole to the ML, open the folder first, as you did with the Schubert and Beethoven entries.

LR_Classical is a folder which includes all albums. Each album is a subfolder of LR_Classical. What do you mean by saying that this entry should be cleared?
As for your second sentence: do you propose to add every subfolder separately to the ML? They are more than 2200!

I attach the error message.

Cheers

Other Lossy Codecs / Descript Audio Codec (.dac) - 90x smaller than .wav?
Last post by przemyslawo -
I came across this new audio codec: https://github.com/descriptinc/descript-audio-codec

Here are some samples of audios encoded with this: https://descript.notion.site/Descript-Audio-Codec-11389fce0ce2419891d6591a68f814d5

Unfortunately I can't do a listening test at the moment because my headphones aren't very good, but honestly I didn't feel any difference between the original audio and the audio encoded with this codec (I listened to the music audio in the demonstration page).

What do you think?
