Hi Ryan,
cool, thank you very much.
The new features an fixes provided by the branch are roughly: (@Uwe please
correct me)
* floating point sample interface
* no clamping to 1.0 after decoding
* Better stream error handling
* high resolution mp3 decoding (32 bit fixed point)
* Better tagging issue handling
The branch offers some new unit test. You should run them first
(mixxx-test.exe)
It is probably the best to find you own test cases, to have finally a good
overall test coverage.
The seek error effects only some VBR mp3 files. You can test it by jumping
forward and backward to the file and check if the
Waveform allays matches the sound output.
My test on Linux was like that:
* create a new library (rename mixxxdb.sqlite)
* Start Mixxx in a debugger
* Mass analyse all tracks
* Play AutoDJ in random mode
* Watch out for crashes, sound distortion and tagging issues.
This runs very long and with only some result results. After two days, I
have stopped that and tested only
abnormal mp3s found in my collection by an mp3 checking tool.
I have actually found some files where Mixxx 1.11 plays the embedded
picture where Uwes Branch just reject the faulty file.
Finally I have tested some files found on the web of the formats that are
supported by Mixxx but not in my library.
Kind regards,
Daniel
