I just noticed that Case's page is gone, and I feel that it's gone for good
There was a really good MPC downloads section (encoders, decoders, WinAmp plugins, etc.), I think that all the stuff from there should be available somewhere (on Rarewares?). Did anyone talk about it with Case?
And BTW, since Rarewares are no longer hosted by HA, there's no link here to any place where all the must-have tools are available. HA really lacks a Downloads or Links section now. I think that something like that should be created, or the Rarewares link should be put back at least.

Yeah, I noticed it too. We have lost great foobar moderator and plugins developer Case, we will miss your great work here...

Does anybody find it strange that there has been no discussion of WHY he lost interest? Maybe he just doesn't have time anymore. I'm sure somebody on this forum knows what the story is.

I don't think there's really any "behind the scene reason" for this. It seems he's just a bit down because of many things. Nothing very surprising considering this damn long winter here in Finland...

In the meantime, is there any place to download the latest Musepack encoders? It took me 10 minutes to find Musepack 1.14, which I eventually downloaded from eac-audio.de, and I gave up looking for the latest 1.15 alpha. Everyone seems to link to Case's now-defunct site...

I would gladly put up a site for MPC related downloads, as I have a domain (www.subdamage.com), but I'm leaving for the army in less than a month, and I won't be able to update it at all.

I can probably host the binaries and sources at RareWares. Can anyone e-mail me them? (encoders, decoders and english plugin)

If you e-mail, please mention it in this thread after, else my mailbox might get filled with repeated files

Cry for Case!

just mailed the following files:

MPC BatchEnc 2.2.6
musedrop 1.5
mppdec-windows-1.95z6
mppenc-windows-1.14
mppenc-windows-1.15r


in_mpc 0.98 beta
in_mpc 0.99d alpha

edit: just realised that musedrop is already present at rarewares...ah, well, sorry.

Hehe, I guess there is nothing missing

Thank-you very much. I will update RareWares ASAP

well, thank you for your continous efforts.
btw, why are still lurking here, hurry up and get the update done, damit!

:-P

Well, for those that are so desperate they might get problems in their ovaries if the files aren't up there right away <waves at Digga >:

http://www.rarewares.org/files/mpc

I'll update the HTMLs =soon=

damn, I had to look 'ovaries' up...
but I think I don't have any problemes pointing in that direction

all right, enough ot :-)

I have mailed the following files:

These are the command line and the GUI integrity checker:
MPCscan.exe (57.113 bytes)
mpcscan.zip (41.301 bytes)

Replaygain 0.84 (for Musepack):
replaygain.zip (41.376 bytes)

Command line TAG edditor:
Tag_2.0.39b.zip (Compiled 2003-04-11)

Got them, they are already uploaded to that same folder. Thank-you very much

How about salvaging Tag?
Sources? Anything?

I love that tagger and would hate for it just to disappear.

Already uploaded to the "Others" section.

And looking for sources...

I just emailed the tag source code

Edit: I also just mailed the MusePack Winamp 3 0.92b Alpha plugin since I noticed it was not up at Rarewares.

Thanks, I already added it.



Hrm, but is anyone still using Winamp3? Nullsoft themselves gave up developing it, and I removed the FAAD Winamp3 plugin because nobody was downloading it.

If people consider it's worth featuring, I'll upload it there.

Does anyone have the CoolEdit Pro/Adobe Audition filters that Case wrote?


I have cool_lame, cool_mpc, and cool_ogg on my HDD....I can't find the others.

I'll e-mail cool_mpc for inclusion in our excellent repository...(timestamp of 4/24/2003 inside the zip file).

Personally, I am not using it. I just figured I'd upload it to you incase you wanted to add it in the future and since it was a download on Case's site.

Edit: I also remembered seeing a Linux compile of the MusePack encoder up on Case's site. Anybody have that?

http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~pfk/MPP/i...ncoder-binaries

@crazee_canuck: yes, cool_mpc would be welcome.

cool_lame and cool_vorbis were created by Peter Pawlovski, and are already available at RareWares.

Thank you to rjamorim and the uploaders--you saved the day for me!

Hey you're welcome man. Anytime I can give back to this great community I will since it has given so much knowledge and tools to me.

I've sent Wapet.

It's already at the Others section.

Now, could someone explain me what is it used for, so that I can add a description to the page? :B

It's similar to MPCencT, is used to add APE tags at once with any CUI encoders. Also, it can handle 2byte characters without any problems.

I'd already grabbed many of the sources. I guess it's time to sort out what I have!!

After I saw that Case took down his foobar files I realized it may be a good idea to get everything left while it was available (I've been through similar circumstances where software was lost for good) so fortunately I downloaded all the files available on his site.

Roberto will be putting everything of interest to people on RareWares.

I will still probably have a great deal of binaries and source if anyone is looking for anything else. A full "site dump" of all of the files will probably be 75 lines long so I'm hesitant to post it on HA, unless others believe it helpful.
---------------------

Perhaps a single post with all the sent plugins merged to make tracking duplicates or would-be missed files would help?
I thought of making it but it may be easier for a mod. Or would a new thread be better?

Best of wishes Case, tec

Many thanks to everyone who is contributing!

The Tag source code on Rarewares seems to be version 2.0.38, whereas the compiled exe is version 2.0.39b.

Does anybody have the latest source code?

I just had a look and I did have a file with the tag source labelled as 2.0.39 (by myself), but it also seemed to contain the source for 2.0.38, even though the created date of the file was quite recent (January of this year). So it might be possible that he simply forgot to update the download for the source code. Perhaps someone should kindly ask him for it?

Upload it, please, there ARE people who still are using Winamp3, I was downloading that plugin for some of them a couple of times from Case's page.

I thought that might happen so I grabbed the whole site about a fortnight ago including all htm pages including the guides etc.

If I can help in anyway just ask.

Edit: Just checked. First backup was at the beginning of March so all the Foobar files including the sources are there.

It would be great if somebody add mp4 support.
Well, I don't have many mp4 files yet, but soon maybe...

You can get most of Case's stuff here. I haven't sorted files out yet.

http://www.rarewares.org/files/case/

I won't host foobar plugins. First, because Chastity is already doing a good job hosting them, and second because it requires a lot of dedication (recompile everything whenever there is a new major version).

That folder will go down as soon as I sort some files to their respective sections at RW, and delete the ones I won't host, so don't do direct links from web pages or forums.

Lots of thanks to Tec9SD for providing the files.

Best regards;

Roberto.

I'm using googles cache:


I just confirmed that Tag_src.zip has 2.0.39. I believe I sent it to Roberto lastnight, if not I will.

/me feels likes he's on a treasure hunt with my poorly organized files, tec

I had no ideal Case made so many things, I should have browsed his whole site.

I'm happy to see these very useful and much needed utilities living on at RareWares, and not being forever lost.

Case made/makes a helluwa lot of uselful small proggies. I guess his programs are great tasters for how things usually are done on Linux (small dedicated programs doing few, but efficient, tasks)

Oh well, I guess he'll return if he feels like it.

Hi rjamorim,

for your rarewares, the case cool_flac plugins

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....howtopic=20145&
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....howtopic=20146&

I merged the threads.
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....ST&f=35&t=20145

Erm... thanks, but cool_flac is already featured at the Lossless page
http://www.rarewares.org/lossless.html

I don't think I will be hosting sources. This big batch of new files will bloat RareWares and finding files there might become a nightmarish experience.

A real pitty...

Do u need some space to park the files? May I help you?

Sergio

Well, some HTML space

Really, look at the debian section (xmixahlx is working on it though). I could host a treasure hunt there and all participants would come out frustrated. The pages are a nightmare to manage, let alone browse. Adding countless new files now wouldn't be a wise idea.

Roberto,

it is already a "treasure hunt"!!

And if that can help, yes, I have spare space at my web site (I have my own domain but it is pratically unused right now) that I will be glad to put at your and the community disposition.


Sergio

I've got some of the files from Case's site ... probably most are made public, but somebody asked for the wapet tutorial....? Or did I imagine it? Anyways I got "EAC configuration for Musepack.mht" for upload... and other stuff if needed...

This is a list of all the files captured as mentioned above. If you want any of it feel free to PM me and I will respond in time. (busy today!)

http://www.arax12.dsl.pipex.com/case/list.txt

If anybody has a copy of Case's former "EAC Configuration for Musepack" page, I'd really appreciate it if you'd attach it to an e-mail to me at [jackcomics] [at] [postxs] [dot] [org]. That way I can put it up on my site for others who might find it useful, as I did and do. Thanks!

I posted it up at http://www.tcsb.clara.co.uk/eac/index.htm

Feel free to grab it (wapet is up there as well)

Did you do this? The source on Rarewares is still the old one (and Tag_src.zip is not on http://www.rarewares.org/files/case/ either).

Got it. Thanks! For those who are interested, I put it up with some slight modification here.
