MP3 - Tech / Re: which seems to be higher quality?
Last post by Nani786 -

While I am sure others can give you more details, I tend to keep things simple... when it comes to MP3 I would not be too fussy about getting absolute highest quality but aim more for efficient bit rate at a good enough level of sound quality that most people won't notice.

so with that in mind... that's pretty much why I just stick to V5 (130kbps) MP3's as it's efficient and sound quality is high enough as when you just sit back and enjoy your music on any random device, chances are V5(130kbps average) is sufficient for most people quite easily. for lossy formats, MP3 it's always the safest choice since it's pretty much universally supported by anything that can play lossy files.

p.s. I know some might argue storage space is cheap nowadays and has been for quite sometime now. so with that in mind, many might not care about file size efficiency (and then prefer to increase bit rate) but it's more of the principle of it if you ask me as I figure why lose efficiency/storage space if not really needed especially given the sound quality is still high enough as it would be more understandable to increase bitrate/file size if there was more of a obvious drop off in sound quality. but with V5, given the public listening tests around here a while ago, shows it's all-around pretty good.

This is why I get annoyed when people say avoid MP3 without even trying to see if the can tell V2 vs FLAC before mouthing off. My album collection over 385GB much of It being single track albums at 1.1mbit from them being Merzbow style Noise. I seem to fail to tell V2 from flac with some edge cases needing V0/V120(Helix 5.1.1). Basically not even my 512GB microSD enough after I checked so I'm not wasting memory when there no gains for me above 192kbps VBR.

MP3 with Latest encoders hold up shockingly well to newer codecs. The universal compatibility is a great for not having hope if a device uses Vorbis or AAC.

Looks you're both getting your wires crossed. etip is testing playlists and metal_termite is having problems with folders??

Also, what if a folder contains a playlist that can't be removed? What do you do then? Move it to the root or remove all playlists that can be removed and leave the folder in place with just the playlist(s) that can't be removed. Have fun!

BTW, I probably can add support for bold menu items. Currently not possible but it should be easy enough.

do you know the "lock" parameters for your playlist ?
I'm using Marc Smooth Playlist Manager that has a nice box to describe these :
[attach type=thumb]26048[/attach]

The only way to reset all data relevant to the script is to delete the pl_organizer.txt file located in the profile folder (root if you dont have such folder). There is an option to archive your current, then you can delete the file and restore it at any point of time.
I do not know the lock parameters. I have only ever used your script to make the folders. If lock parameters are important they should be integrated into this script?

I can delete and rename playlists, it is just on the folders where these items are disabled on the context menu.

weird, it works for me, i did create some specific playlists to double check that.

Is there a way to reset all data relevant to this script? Maybe starting from scratch will solve the issue.. I figured out how to clear all the JS properties.

Rename folder and delete folder still disabled :/

Also now there is often a yellow outline around previously selected playlist items. How do I change that?
