@Hakan Abbas :
Considering that HALAC is anyway too late for world domination, would you think over whether you would be willing to port it into the flac reference implementation?
Probably the most efficient way to get your work known - the changelog does credit individual contributors: https://xiph.org/flac/changelog.html

I think you misunderstood. Assuming your 20% figure for Rice decoding is for the normal preset and HALAC 0.3.6,  and reading 0.14% from my graph, I can calculate your Rice decoder is capable of processing over 300 million symbols per second: 100÷0,14×44100×2÷0,20 For FLAC, I get 120 million symbols: 100÷0,11×44100×2÷0,65. So, almost three times as fast. Very impressive.

I use the plugin via visualizations. Is it possible to correct the display of settings? The first picture shows the settings after launching the plugin. The second picture shows the settings after expanding the plugin window to full screen, and then collapsing

Good eye. Thanks for noticing. Fixed in 0.1.3.

Feature request: support skins designed for Analog Meter visualization for AIMP player in-addition to DRON's analog VU meter for foobar2000, so we can have classic and night variant of AIMP's analog VU meter visualization.

Also, how about a Mid/Side mode like in my own multichannel peakmeter visualizer? Which when selected, the VU meter visualization would display M/S (sum and difference channels respectively) instead of L/R channels.

Mid/Side added in 0.1.3. Not multichannel yet, only stereo at the moment.
Also completed enabling of the AIMP skins, but the needle movement is trash at the moment. So, I skipped including it in 0.1.3.

@oops :
Could you please post what the default values are for all the option settings in 0.1.2 beta?  Thanks!

Sure, quick copy/paste because of time constraints:

// Defaults
constexpr bool default_debug_output = false;
constexpr bool default_lock_aspect_ratio = false;
constexpr bool default_downmix = false;

constexpr float default_jitter = 0.0f;

'Album Artist' does not have to be 'Various Artists'. When used, the 'Album Artist' tag just has to be the same for all tracks of the same album.
For example, when an album has featured artist(s) on one or more tracks, you would use the primary 'Artist' as the 'Album Artist'.

Q: Is there a script for AlbumArtDownloader XUI that can pull Album Images from the AccurateRip database (like dBpoweramp's CD Ripper)?

In fact, the oddity here is in HALAC's decoder behavior.
