Re: [slim] What else does VortexBox need?
I somehow messed up my Vortexbox installation the other day. Streaming to a SB2 worked, but playback via Vortexbox Player did not. I am familiar with Linux command line after using various distributions for many years, but I am certainly not an expert in any way. I managed to fix the problem, but during my search for the cause I wished there was a simple way to restore the installation to a factory default, a script that is run from the system menu in the web interface. I believe an ordinary user would see this as an important safety switch. When other family members also play music this way it is very embarrassing to have a non-working system and not being able to fix it quickly. A more advanced wish for me would be to have BrutefirDRC preinstalled and working on Vortexbox with an interface for (basic) operation with the graphic squeezeboxes and VB player -- OGS SB2 (mod) - Tact RCS 2.0 - Rotel RB-1060 (mod) - Tannoy Sensys DC1 OGS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32981 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76870 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Exactly. No difference in individual rip quality, just better overall QA. If something _does_ go wrong, it's another tool that can help you detect the problem. Without AccurteRip, and without ripping logs that can be examined after a rip, you're pretty much flying blind. AccurateRip has another important use, too, which is best employed by dbpoweramp - it allows you rip first in burst mode, which can be lightning fast. If the AccurateRip results indicate that the rip is good, you're done. If not, then secure mode ripping, where multiple rips of each disk sector are compared, is the fall back and next best thing, but much slower. So it's also a productivity tool that can greatly speed up the ripping of your library. dbpoweramp automates the process and will try burst mode first, then fall back to secure mode if there's no match in the database. With EAC it's a manual process. You can rip first in burst mode, but you have to look at the rip log yourself and then change the drive options and rip the CD a second time in secure mode if necessary. It's still faster than using secure mode all the time. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76870 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Also AccurateRip is not a program or advanced ripping program, it is only a means to compare other rips which could in fact be bad rips. The more rips that match the less likely this is and a good match eliminates the need for a second pass to verify the first rip which speeds up ripping. Other then that, it is not some magical program IE it is a feature. It is also no better or more accurate then any ripper that does multiple passes to make sure of the accuracy of the data that is ripped, it can just be faster if you choose to select that setting.

Re: [slim] What else does VortexBox need?
I'd like some type of Linux front end like KDE. Maybe there's something like that buried in there for us non experts, but I haven't been able to find it. I'm really happy with my VortexBox overall (purchased from the website), but I had it make MP4 copies of all my flacs, and now that I don't need them any more I can't find a way to delete those files or that directory. I can see it in Windows 7 and in OS X, but when I try to delete it I get a not authorized message. And I can't find it in text mode when I hook up a keyboard and monitor to my VoretexBox. -- bobschneider bobschneider's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76870 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

True, but at that site, it does say these rippers currently can use accuraterip: * dBpoweramp, * Exact Audio Copy * Rip (Apple MAC), * XLD (Apple MAC), * Songbook (Apple MAC) I suspect the cost of licensing is a function of what the software charges its own users. Keep in mind that I assume that it is in Spoon's (Illustrate) best interest to encourage widespread use as the more users, the more valuable the database (more unique disks and more unique rips of disks) -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76870 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

iPhone;530819 Wrote: It is also no better or more accurate then any ripper that does multiple passes to make sure of the accuracy of the data that is ripped, it can just be faster if you choose to select that setting. That just isn't true. I've come across several disc that would rip with the same error multiple times, with no indication from the drive/drives that there was an error and the end result having an audible click in the file. Without AccurateRip those bad rips would be lurking in my collection waiting to irritate me. AccurateRip instantly flagged those badly ripped tracks as suspect. Also AccurateRip can really help when you have a disc right on the limits of rippability. If you have a disc where you get different checksums on subsequent rips, without AR you have to keep ripping until you get the same checksum a decent number of times for each track. With AC, even with these dodgy discs you only need to wait for the first rip for each track that matches AR. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?

Alternatively, just put an option in the web browser front end to delete MP4 files. There's an option for that for MP3s, but not for MP4s. You need to click on files - music - mp4 to delete the files.

Re: [slim] What else does VortexBox need?
Wow, this thread has gone over an Accuraterip discussion thread. I think it is possible to use Accuraterip on VortexBox but it would require licensing fees etc. This is probably why it has never been used on Linux software. cdpandora has been used by very successfully by audiophiles world wide for years with good results. So I'm confident we are using the best available ripping solution for Linux. That being said if somebody can find me some Accuraterip code that runs nativity on Linux I would be happy to include it. Lets move on to some other features people want. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76870 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
