Major Changes
CD Ripper is enhanced by the addition of 3 new meta data providers (GD3, MusicBrainz & TrackType), GD3 offers album art up to 500x500 pixels. These new providers allowed for the creation of PerfectMeta™. Note-worthy additions:
- CD Ripper is able to scan / paste / load album art files
- HTOA ripping (hidden first track ripping),
- Defective by design Ripping,
- Added 'Track Technical' column will show if CD is HDCD (install DSP Effects to rip as 24 bit), or has Pre-Emphasis set
- Wave: Compatible with 'id3 ' chunk ID Tags
PerfectMeta™
PerfectMeta™ uses 4 Internet meta data providers simultaneously, this allows any inevitable errors, such as spelling mistakes to be self corrected. In addition, there are 100's of internal rule sets to ensure that the metadata returned is consistent across discs & providers. Last year Illustrate were proud and confident R12 issued in a new era of secure-rippers (securest of the secure), R13 offers the best metadata solution obtainable today.
Reference R13 also includes: CD Writer and Batch Ripper. CD Writer allows for burning of audio CDs, whilst Batch Ripper is designed for those with large collections to rip (and commercial Ripping houses).

CELT 0.3.2 is out, along with listening test results

I just released version 0.3.2 of the CELT ultra low delay codec. Improvements include mainly quality tuning. As this version is also the basis for a paper I just submitted, I've also conducted some listening tests on it.
I compared CELT to G.722.1C (aka Siren14), AAC-LD and to MP3 (lame) and here are the results of the MUSHRA tests. Results turn out to be better than what I expected. CELT comes out on top of G.722.1C and MP3 at both 48 kbps and 64 kbps. It also beats AAC-LD at 48 kbps and ties at 64 kbps. All results are statistically significant (95%), except the tie of course. Considering that CELT has 8.7 ms delay, which is less than a fourth of the other codecs (AAC-LD can have 20 ms delay, but not the Apple implementation we used), this is fairly good (and ... [more] |
