Yes. What confuses people is seeing all the rejects and so miss out on an "earlier" "tokenized" or "direct streaming " higher up . LMS tries to evaluate all possibilities , get a list of possible rules and then pick rhe most specific/best one. > So if I want SoX equalization to work reliably, even when I'm advancing > or rewinding a track, I need to use the custom-convert that gorman > documented a couple of pages above. > > Is that correct? And thanks again for taking the time to look into this. > I feel very privileged. Yes. Flac is needed because sox cannot do start and stop times. If you use a start time then "T" capability is always needed for seeking within a track. If you need a stop time - you need the "U" capability but I think only needed for CUE type files (i.e.where a track is a small part of a big file) Now you need to wonder - did you ever notice the lack of equalisation :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112497 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
