[MP3 ENCODER] Lame cannot find any .wav file
Hi everybody, upgraded my computer, previously had a Pentium 90, 32 MB Ram, 3 HDs (all SCSI, each 2.1 GB). Now have an AMD-K6-III-400, 192 MB Ram, 2 HDs (U2W-SCSI, 18 GB and 9 GB). My previous NCR-53810 has been replaced by a Tekram DC390-U2W. My Linux-Box got copied exactly the way it was on the new HD (still Debian 2.2, Kernel 2.2.13). Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-5AX (ATX). Everything works fine, the FhG encoder too, but lame cannot find any files (tried with the latest lame and some previous versions, which were already compiled and worked fine on my previous hardware). I moved the .wav files to different partitions (smaller than 2 GB, within or outside the 1024 cylinder boundary), renamed the files over and over, tried different lame-options, chmodded and chowned the files, nothing helps, the problem persists: /work/WAV/tmp# lame Lothian.wav Lothian.mp3 LAME version 3.57 (www.sulaco.org/mp3) GPSYCHO: GPL psycho-acoustic model version 0.75. Could not find "Lothian.wav". /work/WAV/tmp# ls -l total 97520 drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Nov 27 16:37 . drwxr-xr-x4 root root 4096 Nov 27 16:34 .. -rw-r--r--1 root root 56977244 Nov 17 23:11 HaendelLargo -rw-rw-rw-1 root root 42759404 Nov 27 16:37 Lothian.wav /work/WAV/tmp# Each and every program finds files without problems, lame does not recognize any input-file :-((( Am I doing something wrong, any ideas?

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Resampling at wrong pitch/speed: bug?
Hi Mark, you wrote on Wed, Oct 27 1999: lame -b 128 -X5 -v -V 4 -h -k -d --resample 48 in.wav out48.mp3 The bug is that the error message "Error: resample code not yet written!" was not being printed :-) LOL! Thanks for the clarification. I think the upsample to 48kHz at 320kbs because (IIRC) a 44.1kHz and lower 320kbs frame violates some ISO restrictions on max buffer sizes. Fortunatly most decoders allow for larger buffer sizes. Other than that, is there any reason to upsample? You probably know about that Microsoft/Intel "Standard", the AC97/PC97 according to which all sound-processing has to take place at 48 kHz, regardless of input. So most cards resample everything at 48 kHz. I came to Linux because I was sick and tired of MS/Intel and would want my sound-card to output the digital stream exactly as it is. So I assumed that the resampling to 48 kHz would degrade quality, to confirm my assumption I tried to encode the same wav (from Audio-CD) once with the usual 44.1 kHz and then with 48 kHz. I wanted to compare these outputs (assuming, the soundcard does not do any more "clever" resamplings at 48 kHz). This darn MS/Intel "standard" is very annoying, if you want bit-exact outputs, like e.g. AC-3 or DTS-Streams (DVDs).

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] LAME license, once again...
Hi Greg,
you wrote on Sun, Oct 17 1999:
zillions of front-ends for encoders, I don't understand, what makes
this particular program so unique, that it can't be GPL'd.
I'm glad to have some backup here.. Sometimes I feel like a crazed nut,
crying out on a soapbox about issues no ones cares about.. :)
AOL. (Me too). The world is changing rapidly, nobody seems to care
about the "old" spirit of the internet, especially usenet. Almost no
more real names, nobody understands, why they should switch off HTML
("hey, everybody has Outlook and HTML looks so much nicer"), limit
their line-length to e.g. 78 chars. But hey: W*ndows 2k will probably
play a nice multimedia clip when it GPF's ;-) (General Protection
Fault). Or M$ rents the blue screen as advertising space "this GPF was
brought to you by Budweiser, makers of fine beer" :-)
As far as what it does: Perhaps it has database stuff, like grip
currently does.. :)
That's the problem: we don't know :-( Maybe Nils can enlighten us? I
have to admit, that I'm not an active developer involved in lame, so
my opinion doesn't have much weight. And as you stated: nobody seems
to care much nowadays :-(
If there is anything I'd like to see turned into a lib, it's cdparanoia.
I'd like grip to be able to store the number of uncorrected skips in the
ID3 tag, so I have a middle ground between polluting my collection with
skippy music and ripping with -z (which one of my roomates refuses to do).
Does cdparanoia write that info-file finally? My version III, 9.6
(August 1999) still doesn't. But I have a Plextor CD-rom which really
rocks for grabbing-purposes. btw: -z isn't indicated in my man-page,
-Z disables all good stuff about cdparanoia. If you don't need the
"paranoia" stuff, why not use cdda2wav, that's extremely fast,
especially with the -P0 (no sector overlay) option. Rips about 17x
with my Plextor ...
Sorry for OT, I'll promise to better myself ;-)
Kind regards Frederick

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] LAME license, once again...
Hi Greg, you wrote on Sat, Oct 16 1999: You said yourself "They have a bad encoder that is coupled via DLL into their program".. Sounds like they dont want to spend the $$ on a good encoder, so they want to use lame to enhance their product. I have the same feeling about this. What I don't understand: there are zillions of front-ends for encoders, I don't understand, what makes this particular program so unique, that it can't be GPL'd. Just my $0.02 ...
