Re: [slim] Squeezebox Duet - FLAC decoder bug

2008-04-09 Thread funkstar

What about using a seperate tagging application rather than relying on
the ripper?

I use TagRename simply because I like the interface. I have no idea if
it is Unicode or not though. I'd be surprised if one of the many *many*
tagging apps couldn't do it for you.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Duet - FLAC decoder bug

2008-04-09 Thread Kuro

The thing is, why do we still have put up with complicated process for
ripping a CD?  I thought in this day and age, ripping a CD is a very
matured process and should be very easy.

Anyway, I found that if I turn the compression level down in Winamp
from 12 (best) to something like 9, the bug went away.  I've not tried
compression level 10 or 11 to see if the bug is still there.  But I
think I'm happy with Winamp at compression level 9.

Since it is an unicode app, my problem is now solved :)

Officially FLAC only has 8 compression levels.

So I'm not really surprised you were having problems, WinAmp is
obviously doing something quite weird or using an unnoficial version of
FLAC in its encoding.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Duet - FLAC decoder bug

2008-04-08 Thread Kuro

Ar... I tried EAC and sure enough, the same song in flac does not
produce any pauses.

The problem with EAC is that it is not a unicode application.  I've CDs
in different languages and it is not getting the text correctly unless I
set windows to default to a particular char set for non-unicode app.

Where as Winamp and iTune do not have this problem...

Is dbPowerAmp any good then?  Anyone?

I also use dbPowerAmp reference. In my opinion it is easier to use and
much faster than EAC, while having about the same reliability of
encoding. (And both use AccurateRip.)

Can't you just transcode FLAC-FLAC but use the real encoder on the
second step? Would be easier than reripping.

Tried EZ-CDDA, it is not an unicode app :(

So far only Winamp and iTune are unicode.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Duet - FLAC decoder bug

2008-04-07 Thread EnochLight

Every FLAC I can throw at mine works fine.  I've got about 350 albums
ripped via EAC though - never tried WinAmp to rip to FLAC.

Perhaps you had a buggy encode?  I would try ripping the same CD using
EAC and try playing it back then.

Cheers!

It is probably a bad encoding by winamp. See this post (by Josh Coalson,
of FLAC fame):
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=221343postcount=7. So
EnochLight's suggestion to re-rip with EAC sounds like a good place to
start.
