Interesting. Of course, pre-emphasis was specified for a reason, and it was supposed to make the music more realistic. Do you have other citations on what the curve should be? Since the RedBook was essentially pre-microcontroller, I expect that you can implement it in a simple LRC circuit, the cited article talks about just pushing it thru a multiband EQ. > And I did look at the FLAC spec before posting, and saw no mention of > it other than it being held in cuesheet-embeded FLAC's. That's kinda weird. I'd expect it to be in the header metadata within each track if it was supported at all. Not that having it be half implemented would surprise me. I'd guess that this correction belongs server side, mostly because server side cycles are free. And because mere mortals can program plugins on the server. Might be fun to whip up a quick query tool to see how many tracks folks have in their libraries, if any, that have the flag set. I'd guess that none of the MP3 packages know about it, from the German site above, most of the CDs are classical or jazz, and the early MP3 dudes mostly rocked. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
