On Sat, 6 Oct 2001, the following spilled from the mind of Ross Levis: > I have no qualm with him applying and using his patch for his own use. > But advertising it for download (many times) on this list would suggest > that he something other than personal use in mind.
Nope, just personal use -- and maybe other persons as well. Why would advertising it (many times) on this list make it seem like there is anything other than personal use in mind? Hi, if this thread would ever die, I could just stop replying to it and defending myself, but, as I add more features, I will advertise it here -- because, after all, it is a patch for LAME. Is there a better place for patch to go? BTW, my new plan for the patch is to end the frames how an mp3 that comes from l3enc ends. I feel that if there is any kind of authority on mp3s, it is Fraunhofer. I want my mp3s to be as _by the book_ as they can be. BTW, since this thread is still alive and the patch is for LAME, and this is the original thread of it's annoucement, here is the URL _again_, doh! http://hackor.com/misc/no_graffiti_frames_2001_10_01-01.diff Isn't free speach wonderful! However, I give you the right to not read this email or respond to it and especially the right not to follow the above URL, oh, wait, you already have those rights too, never mind! ;-) One thing I haven't mentioned yet for less technical people is how to apply the patch. On a unix system (or on windows with Cygwin, IE a posix like system) do the following: first you have to check out the LAME cvs: (1) cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/lame login (press enter -- no password) (2) cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/lame co lame (3) cd lame (4) Download my patch from the hackor.com URL above. Save it in this 'lame' directory that was just created by CVS. (5) This will patch the LAME source. patch -p0 < no_graffiti_frames_2001_10_01-01.diff (6) Configure LAME. You may also want to do ./configure --help for more options. ./configure (7) make (8) You need to be root to install lame into /usr/local. su (enter root's password) (9) make install That's it. Then, to encode your mp3s without LAMEs version string in the frames, just add the --no-graffiti-frames to the command line. for example: lame -o -p --strictly-enforce-ISO --r3mix --no-graffiti-frames \ 01.wav 01.mp3 I hope this explains this patch a little bit more.
