3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / foo_playlist_attributes causes foobar to crash
Last post by Mike_de -
Hi!

I recently transitioned to the 64-bit version of Foobar. One of the add-ons I've been using for over a decade, foo_playlist_attributes, is causing issues. The current version makes Foobar crash whenever I use the "remove played tracks" function. In fact, Foobar crashes so severely that I need to use the Windows Task Manager to kill the process. In over 15 years of using Foobar, it never crashed once - until today.

I'll attach the crash report to this message.

Support - (fb2k) / "Sanitize tags" issues
Last post by Mike_de -
Hi!

After much hesitation, I made the switch to the 64-bit foobar. As expected, I ran into some serious problems. One of them is the "sanitize tags" function. While I like the idea, it frequently tells me, "Error processing file: File is already in use," and then creates .tmp files in the source folder.

Sometimes foobar crashes entirely, and upon restart, I'm told some components were damaged and I need to reinstall the program. Any suggestions?

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: JScript Panel script discussion/help
Last post by sq68 -
Hi all,
I have moved to foobar2000 64bit to extend the memory beyond 4GB, this leaves llot of plugins behind.
To overcome, i have to recourse to JScript Panel3 and, therefore, ported/modified some scripts from others.
It seems, someone may have the same things while struggling with 64bit, i would like to share these scripts as attached.
last but not least, sorry original authors, especially Marc2003, Br3tt among others for "destroying" their beauty full codes.

you are free to use and make any changes as long as retain original author names.

[due to limitation, i may have little resource to react to this post.]

Opus / Re: Harmonic coding issues of Opus(from THD-N test)
Last post by btc -
Opus is not trying to encode all bands, it uses bandwidth extension called "folding" which uses significantly  less than 1 kbps on upper frequency range. It's similar to HE-AAC SBR tool.

What you're describing as several hissing noise and artifacts on harmonics comes from the fact that Opus is low-delay audio codec and uses low-overlap window what causes leakage. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.04845

Vinyl / Re: Which is the best suggested tool to rip Vinyl in LOSSLESS quality
Last post by DVDdoug -

May you please tell me the name of the Vinyl Click Removal tool? Is it free or do I have to pay for it? I can install it in my friend's PC (which is Windows) and try to remove clicks.
I have two.   Wave Corrector is FREE and fully automatic.   I don't have much experience with it because I digitized most of my vinyl (that wasn't available digitally) before I got it.

Wave Repair is $30 USD after a 30-day free trial and you shouldn't need it for longer than that.    It's manual so it can be VERY time consuming but with only one song that shouldn't be a big deal, especially if the record is in good condition.   That also means that it only "touches" the audio where you identify a defect.      It has a few different repair options/methods and it does an audibly perfect job on most (but not all) clicks & pops.   Ironically, it seems to work best on the really nasty clicks, maybe because they are easier to find in the waveform.   (There is also a spectral view which usually makes the defects stand-out visually better than trying to find them in the waveform.)

Thank you for the information.
You have a lot of information.
