Still falls behind in filesize and decoding time...


Well way to go Josh, in that case :)
I notice that the encode time for WavPack -f is just slightly faster than FLAC -5 though.

What the heck does that mean? Isn't FLAC *ALWAYS* lossless?

yes, i meant Wavpack in lossless mode.

Neuros Wishlist: Gapless Playback + Wavpack Support + Replaygain = Bliss.

Okay, while I realize that Josh is working hard on getting actual FLAC support in the firmware, an idea came up.

Why don't people implement a call to OggDrop into the sync managers?

dbPowerAMP was inserting odd audio artifacts into the OggVorbis files I was making off of FLAC to put on the neuros (Skipping, hiccoughing, pops, snaps, the whole 9 yards.) so I started using OggDrop today to do the conversion and it seems to run fairly well, and oggdropXPd even has FLAClib built into it for the input files....

I've never heard of any such problem with dbpoweramp on audio message boards like hydrogenaudio. Are the skips there playing on the PC, or just on the Neuros?

My best guess is that you have dbpoweramp and oggdrop set up to use different ogg encoders. It has been reported here that the aoTuV encoder plays better on Neuros (higher Q value before skips appear) than the basic one from vorbis.com. The issue is some resource constraint on the Neuros rather than one or the other encoder being defective.

Edit: I have dbpoweramp set up to use the aoTuV encoder. I haven't been hearing any skips, but I don't generally don't encode for the Neuros at over about Q4.5.

It's worse than just skips.

It will jump back and forth inside the song by 2-20 second jumps. And it's in the source file, not a playback issue with the Neuros.

I've tried purging and re-installing dbPowerAmp, and that doesn't fix it, but OggDrop works fine on the same system.
