How about a good old stream of ints in C++ or Java.

I'm now going to re-record everything across in FLAC.

Removing the existing tags in Media Monkey and then converting the wav files for example with foobar2000 may be faster.

Also you might consider to use WavPack which is my favorite lossless format.]]> Robertina Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:17:38 +0100 46adc4914ace3fd7baacbf577c6b26449010c803 Just had my ears cleaned Axon Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:27:48 +0100 0c9e00debb4404c0eabfcad0c2a1b366df7fbc77 Cover art not displayed in iTunes
I use iTunes 9.x. I have a problem to read correctly the cover art.
The cover art is correctly decoded with the file explorer, Windows Media Player and foobar2000 but not iTunes. I don't know why...

When I display the file properties : iTunes detects an image but displays a white square.

I upload a MP3 which generates the problem. You can download it at:

What is wrong? My MP3? iTunes?

Thanks for your help.]]> Cyber Sinh Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:15:50 +0100 18acb21ec0af2381891b891b6ede86f3f005f9c8 TagScanner 5.1 I liked that about Tag&Rename (which I abandoned now :>)]]> Firehawk Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:51:23 +0100 http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=74450 Why are SOME songs not for sale digitally?

Yeah so the problem is not like something loose inside the actual line-in connection but rather the ext. sound card. perhaps something went wrong with the installation or my computer cannot fully support it somehow. My sister seemed to think that wasn't the problem but that was before I had experimented fully with all possibilities, maybe her opinion would be different now. I seen a similar problem from a member here and they solved it by re-installing the sound card or something and using a different PCI slot, now I don't know what a PCI slot is but my computer only has one says my sister, it's a 'Shuttle' and not a fully featured PC, no CD drive and other limitations which is why I had to go down the route of external sound card rather than a soundchip which is exactly what I had before and it was so easy to use and of course took up no extra space and USB slots.

So yeah I'll give my sis the extra info I've gotten through experimenting and yourself and see what I can do, she works with a computer company and it's no problem to get a new sound card to try out, I didn't even pay for this one I have now so it's not as if I'm losing out on anything. Looks like I'll have to get a better, more powerful ext. sound card.

I've just this minute tried my Creative Zen connected to the line-in and it works perfectly, sound from both speakers, which now rules out it being a problem with the line-in connection so I think it's officially the sound card.

Thanks for the help Doug! wink.gif]]> Logy Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:26:35 +0100 2ccd049c35999580940d787d1c6794d02d37b60f lossyWAV 1.2.0 Development Thread I meant that the revised --altpreset setting at --standard is more onerous than the existing setting at --portable.

Bad news: The Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition does not accept the solution file that was created by the Professional Edition sad.gif

But it's possible to download a trial version of the Professional Edition. I will try it the next days.


Thanks for keeping us updated! Even bad news is news, and that you've already found an alternative is great to hear too!

I hope the trial isn't as restricted as the Express Edition, as in "dear god I hope it will compile on that" wink.gif

Good luck!]]> smeargol Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:58:10 +0100 f01a2b7434a2a97be8b4fc525b015904226fe88f Does Koss make good headphones?
Koss has been around for a long time. The Porta Pro has been around for 25 years! They must be doing something right if a 25-year old design is still cosidered one of the best in it's price range. And, it has a lifetime warranty!

Not all Koss headphones have the same reputation for sound quality. Some probably have "average" sound quality in their respective price range. I doubt that "All Koss products suck" unless you are comparing them to $500 headphones. I used to see Koss Pro 4AA* headphones used a lot in radio/tv stations. (I havent been in a radio or TV station for many years.)

In a given price range, open headphones will generally have better sound than closed phones. All of the Grado models (all open back) have a reputation similar to the Porta Pro of being one of the best sounding in every price range. But, as someone noted in your other thread, they look kind-of cheap. I have a pair of Grado SR225's, and they don't look like I paid $200 for them, but they sound nice!


* They keep adding A's... First, it was the Pro 4A, then the Pro 4AA, and now it's the Pro 4AAAT. biggrin.gif]]> DVDdoug Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:43:44 +0100 befa4ba0dcc56533662508ebafe3f4e8b07565b5 Another Subjective Audio Test

For the longest time the widest dynamic range commercial recording that I was aware of turned out to be pop, but recently the tide turned and the widest dynamic range commercial recording that I am aware of is classical.
Go on then, I'll bite - what are they?


Pop - ricky Lee Jones first album

Classical - any of the recent BIS recordings with the Minneapolis Orchestra, particularly Beethoven Symphonies]]> Arnold B. Krueger Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:15:25 +0100 21bbc8f65781c8b7ebfe9f7b6ab2237778e87daf Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis (q5)

I mean, let's face it... the prospective future of audio is nowhere near as important as some photos of a guy unboxing a pair of crazy money loudspeakers.

Some bad news for some power hungry users: For now i have again reduced the maximum predictor count from 256 to 160.

Not boring at all, about the max predictors, would a value like 192 be a reasonable compromise?
