Übrigens: Wenn ihr mit EasyTAG aus FLACs Coverbilder rauslöscht, werden sie nicht kleiner! Dafür müsstet ihr sie einmal erneut durch den #FLAC-Encoder jagen. Das mach ich mittels #soundKonverter aus KDE. Gegebenenfalls sample ich damit auch verrückte HD-Audios von 24-Bit auf 16-Bit runter. Dafür oben unter "Benutze Plugin:" SoX statt FLAC wählen und dann in den Einstellungen von SoX "Qualität der Sample-Rate-Änderung: Sehr hoch" wählen! Außerdem natürlich dann FLAC-Kompression auf L8.
PROFIT!

Op de Limburgse Archeologie Dag 2025 in het Limburgs Museum is een #beker met inscriptie #FLAC gekozen als Limburgse #Topvondst. #Archeologen groeven de beker in 2024 op in een Romeins graf op het Raadhuisplein in #Heerlen. Gezien de inscriptie en andere grafvondsten was het graf mogelijk van een Romeinse #soldaat met de naam Flaccus.

To make things easier, I coded this bash script to convert my archive, and it’s been a lifesaver:

github.com/Ardakilic/flac-to-1

It uses SoX in the background and is essentially a simple iteration wrapper. It checks the bitrate and sample rate, transcodes if necessary, and just copies the file if no conversion is needed.

Finally found a CD ripper for Linux – Whipper – with the goal of creating accurate copies, rather than doing it fast.

It's a command line tool, which may sound daunting, but after running a few commands to calibrate the settings to your CD-ROM, it's as easy as typing "whipper cd rip" to rip to FLAC with metadata from MusicBrainz. Very nice!

Apple added OPUS and FLAC support to AudioToolbox a while ago (iOS 17), but for some reason AVPlayer does not support it.

While I appreciate it, it feels very half ass. It’s like they want to use it internally (iMessage Audio Messages are using OPUS), but they don't want to incentivize a larger adoption of it.

So if you want to use OPUS to play audio, you need to build the whole HTTP Streaming mechanic on your own.

mucha de la gente autora de esos artículos está, o estaba, por aquí (de los tiempos de gnusocial). Incluso hay un libro (pdf) con todo organizado y maquetado. Aquí todo bien ordenado en versión web

La cámara es casi de lo último que debes preocuparte aunque claro, eres más libre y permite una creatividad mayor. Las reglas básicas para aprender a ver, composición, ajustes básicos de exposición, etc. te los permite casi cualquier móbil de unos años para aquí.

Question to people who have or want to start a local digital music collection: What do you want from a naming convention?

I had a planned naming convention, but I want to make sure the program I’m working on is useful to other people. My existing goal was to make a naming convention that is unlikely to be rejected, will be sorted sanely by even the most basic systems, and is consistently machine-readable.

My solution was to have the file name be a series of structured “tags.” For example:

  • BY-lemon-demon_IN-dinosaurchestra_NO-02_action-movie-hero-boy.flac

Tags can be used zero or more times in one file name and in any order, except the title which must be used only once and at the end. Tags should go from the most general grouping (usually an artist name) to the most specific part (the title). This way songs that are in the same category will be grouped together.

Is this a good naming convention for you, and what would you do differently?

Anybody know anything about spectral analysis of flacs? I found a rip of a CD and even though its has a 100% log file, some spectrals make it look like it could be a lossy master.

I plan to upload this to a private tracker but dont want to get banned lol.

Here's the spectrals: imgur.com/a/cXxzL3N

These are the tracks I'm concerned about:
02: There looks to be some blocking across the track, maybe thats just the music though? Looks weird to me
10: I think thats just because its electronic "beep boop" sounding music lol, not sure how else to explain it.
16: I see some blocking in a few places in the track
20: maybe a tiny bit of blocking, but also a weird "ghosting" above 20k?
I provided zooms for 2, 16, and 20, each of 2 seconds long, not sure if thats too short. I didn't provide it for the other ones since the others look fine, I can provide them though.

Thanks!
