Hi Air Ken!

You have some really outstanding skins. Im just trying to give people ideas/suggestions with my skins/mods. Im not a huge skins person but foobar really needed some help in my opinion. I just felt the default skin was too difficult to use (visually). In any case, the skins work fine on Android with most ratios. Not sure about iPhone. I only have a couple of Android phones. Feel free to modify/use assets if you find them useful. Yes, the update is from Alienskin51 versions...

Thank you for your interest/comments!

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by genuine -
Quote from: Hakan Abbas on
Thank you for your good thoughts. Since the first version of HALAC, an average of 2 percent compression has been obtained. Without compromising the speed. My guesses were in this direction. However, I think a little more improvement can be done without compromising speed.

I can't say that I finished exactly my Rice Coder. In fact, it needs to work a little faster. Especially the Decoder part. Dealing with the Coder can sometimes be badly annoying.

I don't know the Rice Coder used by FLAC. However, they should be quite different structurally with mine. Entropy coder change can cause back compatibility problems. We don't know that. My own Rice coder is now embedded in HALAC. It needs to be abstracted in a good way. I mean, I've never thought of anything like this before.
I'm taking my question back. Because the issue went to another side. HALAC != FLAC

FLAC has already been among us for years. And years later we see a new lossless audio codec. It is not easy to develop a real codec and those who do not develop it cannot know. But it is more difficult to develop a successful codec. I see this work very successful.
Turning such a work into something like "credit" means clearly destroying it. I think this is not a good idea at all. Let us continue to develop. He said that he would already have problems with FLAC. Completely different structures and approaches...

foobar2000 mobile / Feature Request: Play to External Renderer
Last post by anatolic -
The mobile app is great. In my view much better then Bubble UPNP or Mconnect that i currently use. I am longtime fan of F2B and rather use it for streaming music to my dedicated streamer.

Could you please consider adding a function "to play to external renderer"?
In other words, to use Foobar2000 for Android mobile to send the music directly to a streaming device connected to the amplifier/speakers? Somewhat similar to What Bubble and some other apps do.

P.S. If this function is already available, please provide instructions on how to use it...

Much appreciated.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: lossyWAV 1.4.2 Development (was 1.5.0)

Most lossless codecs cannot compress audio data that is more compressible, such as LossyWav, as fast and as good.
I expect a very fast and high quality Lossy audio codec from you again this time. Lossy HALAC!
I don't know if it needs a new lossy codec. (I even started to think that there was no need for a new lossless codec) Because the subject of the loss is open to too many interpretations.
However, a high-quality or near-lossless of fast version can of course be improved. But I don't know if it's worth it.
OK. We are also waiting for the HQ Audio option.

foobar2000 mobile / Feature Request: Option to set default track length.
Last post by lexaterra -
Hi, I think it would be great to be able to set default track length,

Example: to go to next track after 2:00 minutes on each track.

Reasoning: I have Dj software like many set up at home and it gives a really nice ambience to just skip all tracks after a certain time. It makes the whole experience more uniform because of the timing factor. Also, its not just my idea, Djs usually change tracks at parties after a certain time period as well. I think it would be a great addition to your app. And Im sure programming wise its a piece of cake because you're not doing anything remotely complicated.

Thank you!
