I have just finished uploading the source release for FLAC 1.0.4 beta
to Sourceforge; there are no binary releases. See the included doc/html/news.html for the changes since 1.0.3; there are quite a few. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/fl...tar.gz?download Please beat up on this as much as possible in the next week or two and try and turn up bugs. Here's a suggested test plan: configure --enable-exhaustive-tests [also optionally try out different combinations of --enable-debug --disable-asm-optimizations --enable-3dnow --enable-sse, as appropriate] make make check [NOTE this will run for several hours] make install Then try making some flac files (AIFF and 24-bit WAVE experiments especially valuable), try tagging with Vorbis comments using metaflac (non ISO-8859-1 charsets especially valuable), id3v1 and v2 tags, checking for tag support in the plugins (note the new config window in the XMMS plugin). Special note: 24-bit playback in plugins is currently supported by dithering the output to 16 bps. If you want to try and test raw 24-bit out, delete the "#defing FLAC__DO_DITHER" in all the plugin source before compiling. Eventually this will be configurable in the plugins. If you can write this *please do* and send me a patch. Also, I noticed too late that there is no "clean" target for the doc/ directory. I'll also welcome patches for that. Thanks everyone. Josh |

I just uploaded Win32 binaries to Mirror 1, below. The 'bundle' includes:- flac.exe, in_flac.dll, metaflac.exe and cnv_flacpcm.wac. Be warned, the latter two are untried!!
 (BTW, flac.exe includes ogg support.) -------------------- John

I used default settings for flac.exe and the in_flac.dll plugin.

QUOTE (Benjamin Lebsanft @ Sep 14 2002 - 03:01 PM) well, but i want ogg/flac No problem, but you can't play it thru Winamp!! It uses the ogg container and gives it an '.ogg' extension and will decode with the flac decode option, BUT it won't play thru Winamp!!

Ogg FLAC playback in the plugins is on my list. It's actually not that hard to do now that I broke out the Ogg-related stuff into libOggFLAC but I don't have time to get it in 1.0.4.
I should mention that there is no real advantage to Ogg FLAC over native FLAC yet; my original reason for adding it was to possibly make it easier to stream FLAC, through Ogg-aware tools, but no one has really picked up that ball yet. Ogg FLAC files will be slightly larger than native FLAC files. Josh |
