Support - (fb2k) / Re: Library rescanning like 5x slower
Last post by Montchenot -
FLACs, MP3s, MP4s & MKVs.
Some video containers hold old AVIs, MPEGs & Flash just to tag these within the library (I use a Run Services script to trigger a portable VLC to play these).
Some regular flac files (2%} were logged as taking a long time to scan. Some incompatible notices about a few plain MPEGs.

BTW, I'm currently updating a lot of items using the standard Properties dialog (took the values to Notepad to replace some strings) and I'm seeing the Library as reading tags while the update is still being applied. (Hope there won't be overstepping errors like when converting within the library path.) Anyway, I had just left the computer alone while the library was reading tags right after updating to the new 2.5 preview

I had expected requests for menu commands for light and dark mode :) Probably a good candidate for 3.1.0.

Regarding transparency, I'm not sure I'd want to clutter the menu with that but I guess I have nothing against adding a hidden menu command for it.

I've now moved my entire MP3 library over to ID3v2.4 and also used the 'optimize file layout' function
Hello, can I do the same thing for mp3 files in mp3tag and what do I have to do? I need the ability to create tag with decoded audio MD5 in foo_audiomd5 and then the possibility of error-free reconciliation so that tag editing does not affect this checksum

Just want to say I am reading it with interest. I usually downsample >=96 kHz FLAC to mostly 48, sometimes 64 (also bit depth reduction at times, e.g., 64k/20bit are a good chunk smaller than 48k/24bit, just for consideration). I'm all for best practise, but the "more than good enough" and practical solution as for fb2k addicts is using SoX (plus ditherer) and I'm not yet feeling the itch to e.g. create and call batch files or idk.. from fb2ks converter. If someone made an fb2k plugin, and I cannot do that myself, I'd probably happily use that librempeg or r8 thing. After all we're in the inaudible realms.
If you want a resampler that keeps the maximum bandwith there is already the dBpoweramp/SSRC component in foobar.

I would like to move to 64 too but for now there is already some components that make me stay in 32.

Respecting preconfigured foobar2000 instalation I prefer to make my own install with my own selection of components. at the end is only a wine prefix and some desktop files pointing to a sh, The snap and flatpack  introduced the aditional problem of sandboxing so better DIYway.

I will recommend you to make a fresh wine prefix and run in it a portable foobar install. Much easy way to find the problem. If is posible install foobar2000 fresh too and install the components you need one by one. This must work, I used arch to test plasma 6 until it comes out to ubuntu and I used my old foobar portable install in it without problem ( the same one I'm using right now in ubuntu)

You must consider too that Manjaro is not a clean arch distro, it have some modifications and the AUR packages are not totally safe to use in it. If you want arch is better to stay in vanilla (and even in vanilla AUR are always a risk, it can easly break your install). That is why I said you to use a wine build not using a pakage manager, these one didn't modify your system and you can test diferent versions without breaking risk. Using random AURs or debian PPA is always risky.

And at last, Did you check that the disk didn't have some errors, bad sectors or something similar?
