3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_audiomd5 mismatches, APE and MP3s

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?

Thanks for this test and the recommendations. The wine 32 prefix and the old 32-bit components from Frank Bicking help. simplaylist and/or facets are key to success. I like to stay by this old collaboration with Peter Pawlowski. Version 1.6.18 is perfect and fully developed for use under Linux. Your error #58085 foobar2000. Columns UI user interface error listing fonts using DirectWrite yesterday led directly to the release wine-10.8. Will probably also be incorporated into arch/manjaro in 14 days.

In addition, I would like to remove the old 4 GB limitation and use 64-bit development as my portable alternative under Windows 11 and Linux. With sqlite and refacets it will not yet work with the current standard wine environment. In addition to marc2K3 for Windows 11, Luke Taylor is also working on a Linux project. Fooyin is a customizable music player, but there is still so much missing. The development started 20 years later and is only trying to repeat on Linux what Peter Pawlowski first created for Windows. It would be nice if these developers could also come together and join forces and talents. https://www.fooyin.org/ This is the only way to carry great things into a great future. However, many younger developers don't developed very long or are disturbed by professional demands in their hobby.

I would recommend only the distro standards to any newcomer. For Manjaro, this currently means wine 10.7-1 with free choice when downloading Foobar2000 at https://www.foobar2000.org/download. Despite a few gems, the AUR is of course also boundlessly overloaded with Manjaro. I count 150 wine packages. The Kron4ek wine builds were not included. It is probably better for the developers and not all users to test this. The side effects cannot be overlooked by every user.

If you are still using 32-bit, you can easily test this ready-to-use package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foobar2000 with 27 other components. This is certainly also available for other environments in the Debian environment. I have not always had success with the snap or flatpak packages. It stalled much earlier. I have now tested this AUR package again in the arch environment. In my case, the problems with the images remain. It regularly compiles what is current in the 32-bit environment.

foobar2000 mobile / Incorrect sound behavior
Last post by bollylu -
Hi Peter and folks

A few days ago my foobar2000 mobile was auto-updated and is now having issues in one of my configuration, but not all of them.

Config 1, working = Huawei Pro10+, Android 9, Small converter BT to analog Cinch, Aux on the car radio
Config 2, NOT working => Huawei Pro10+, Android 9, Anker Soundcore 2 via BT

In this config 2, the problem is that the sound is saccaded, like sliced with constant ups and downs (without being a specialist, I would say it looks like having the wrong bit speed). I first considered a few bad files, but the same music played on other configuration (FB2000 windows, LMS, my car with FB2000 mobile) is OK. It was previously playing pretty well on my config 2. I tryed to change the bit depth (16/16 dithered/24/32), but without any success. In 24, it even doesn't play at all. My files are mostly flac, ranging from 16/44.1 to  24/192. Some mp3. All showing the same behavior.

Thansk for any support.
