I was thinking the other day that it would be fairly easy to support raw passthrough of AC3 and DTS files in their native format without any sort of FLAC wrapper. This would also make it easier to do things such as auto-disabling of the analog outputs, forcing of 100% digital volume, disabling of VU meters, and so on.
However there is one big problem that would probably be a show-stopper to most people - there is no easy way that I can find to tag a raw AC3/DTS file. It would actually be fine to stick an ID3 tag on the front of one, but I'm not sure any tagging tools recognize these files nor would they let you write an ID3 tag to it. Another option would be to still use FLAC but if you had a special tag in there such as AC3=1 or DTS=1 it could change the behavior of the player. What do you guys think? I would like to remove the need for using FLAC because that's a rather painful process currently, but it would require some app to be able to support tagging these file types before anyone would want to use it. -- andyg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77296 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
