So I'm an old fart that still uses an mp3 player that transfers files via USB or SD card, and since changing to Linux, updating that thing has been PAINFUL due to the loss of MediaMonkey. Absolutely none of the modern Linux music players do proper playlist-based file syncing. (That is, you select the playlists to update, and sync both the files and the playlist m3u to the target device, even if the target device uses a different file folder structure from your computer.) Rhythmbox pretends to, but in practice you can only do it once and all subsequent tries error out. Having to wipe the entire gigabytes of data every single time I want to update the player? Um, no. The closest I got was using Strawberry to transfer files, but it doesn't sync the playlist itself, which is a huge hassle. And I know, another major old-fart moment, as the younguns these days just use cloud servers and dynamic playlists and service-based playlists and shit. Which is therefore what all of the non-dead Linux music players focus on. But I think I have finally got a working solution, by running 32-bit Foobar2000 through Wine with the OneWaySync component. (Although, I will still have to use a bash script to do auto-edits of the device playlist filepath, since Foobar is exporting Wine-assigned filepaths. Thankfully I already have one basically good to go from my Strawberry setup.)

Capturing the ambience of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (2002)

The original Splinter Cell wrings spooky atmosphere out of its relatively mundane settings. At a technical level, SC's sound design mixes positional sound effects and highly-detailed stereo ambience tracks.

This guide will cover the Windows version. However, note that there are minor discrepancies between it and the original Xbox release. You can remedy much* of this with the Enhanced SC patch.

*Not all maps are supported, due to challenges in the map porting process).

Capturing Footage

To disable the HUD, use drennan's toggle mod. To hide the player-character, open the in-game console with F2, type INVISIBLE 1, and press Enter.

You can freely move your character, and therefore the camera, by entering FLY or GHOST (for no-clip). Enter WALK to return to normal character control.

To save time, you optionally can bind these console commands to key presses via your SplinterCellUser INI file.

Optimizing Graphics

Follow the relevant section on PCGamingWiki. It will walk you through installing ThirteenAG's widescreen fix and dgVoodoo.

This guide also addresses numerous settings only found only in INI files. The most important of these is ForceShadowMode, which must be set to "Buffer" mode for faithful rendering on modern systems.

Extracting Sounds

I explored two options: DecUbiSnd and vgmstream. The former can read STREAM.SS0 directly; you'll find SC's stereo ambient streams there. Maps generally organize their streams as three layers, the first of which is used for music - but it varies.

Use the Save As option to extract WAV/OGGs of your desired streams.

vgmstream can extract Splinter Cell's streams and sound effects* via MAPS.SM0. I recommend using the Foobar component to find the sounds you want.

Once you've identified their desired indicies, you can Convert to WAV inside Foobar - just be sure to disable looping from the component's settings. You can also use vgmstream's command line interface e.g.:

vgmstream-cli.exe -i -s 6070 -o embassy.wav "F:\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell\Sounds\MAPS.SM0"

The resulting WAVs will contain as many as three stereo layers, for a total of six channels.

*Note: sound effects can be played back at various speeds in-game, thanks to Unreal Engine

Appendix 1: Viewing level sounds with Audacity

Because they are apparently simple WAVs, it's possible to view MAPS.SM0's content in Audacity. Import the file as Raw Data, using the settings below.

You'll find the sounds are laid out chronologically, with Presidential Palace last.

Itunes Bpm Analyzer

The GetSongBPM song analyser calculates the beats per minute of any song. The simple drag and drop app could not be easier to use, and will measure the BPM from any audio file. It supports a wide range of file formats. Finding the songs with the best tempo. Last time, I mentioned that MixMeister BPM Analyzer does a great job of crawling through your music files and deriving the Beats Per Minute (BPM) for each track. However, running iTunes afterward and displaying the Beats Per Minute column, or setting up a smart playlist that uses the BPM attribute, I found that the BPM data had not fully made its way into the iTunes database.

I have figured out a way to add Beats Per Minute to music in iTunes using free software (for those using Windows):

1) Install foobar2000. When you double click on the exe file to install it, you can select to add a portable version or install it.

2) After installation, install a plugin to foobar2000 named 'BPM Analyser' (they call plugins 'components'). The download will have an extension named *.fb2k-component.

3) Open foobar2000 and set up the left pane named 'Album List' so it has the folder where your iTunes music is stored. Right click on any song or groups of songs and select 'BPM Analyser'. Then select 'Automatically analyze BPMs' to show results. You can check to see if you agree with the results by playing the song and right clicking on the songs again and selecting 'Manually tap BPM for current track'. It will display a button that you can tap in time with the music. You can then compare the two numbers to see if they agree and then press the button 'Update File' to add the number to the BMP tag in the music file. Of course if you trust the automatic calculation, you can click on 'Update File' when it is done. I have found the automatic calculation is usually accurate though occasionally off.

4) Install Mp3tag:

The foobar plugin just adds the number to the BPM field. iTunes requires that each entry to have ' BPM' entered after the number. After installing Mp3tag, open the music file that you changed with foobar. You will need to add a heading for BPM because it won't be there by default. Do this by right clicking on the column headings. Highlight the files you want to change and then click on the 'Convert' pull down menu and select 'Tag – Tag'. Select 'BPM' in the pull down list and enter the following in the 'Format String':

%BPM% BPM

Itunes Bpm Analyzer Mac

Then click on the 'OK' button. Mp3tag will add some lead zeros to the number and that is OK.

5) Open iTunes and display the the 'Songs' view. Add the BPM column heading if you haven't already. The BPM field will be blank. You can play the song or right click on the song and select 'Song Info' to make it update the tag information. This will take too long if you have added very many BPM counts.

Download the 'UpdateTagInfo' script from here:

Itunes Bpm Analyzer

Highlight the songs you want to update in iTunes. Double click on the file 'UpdateTagInfo.vbs' and then click on 'Yes'. This will update all the files you selected.

There are quite a few steps but it doesn't usually take long once you do it a few times. Step 3 may take some time if you select hundreds of songs.

Went to Maker Faire #tokyo at Big Sight today and managed to meet everybody who I was looking for including robotics and electronics engineers. I dropped the robotics project five years ago as each prototype cost me 2 million yen - if I continued with the project then you would not be reading this as we would have gone bankrupt focusing our little precious cashflow on a niche market. While I still do not have plans to pursue making our 1/3 line of Smart Dolls move on their own - the powered suit project that I mentioned a few years ago is something I still want to do. While there are hobbyists out there who have made great one-off 1/3 scale robotic dolls, there hasn't been any attempt by a manufacturer to make a robotic doll on a mass scale - its not just the R&D costs of getting such a project up and running - its the maintenance costs too as motors are a wear and tear component. However R&D costs is something that consumers are not concerned about. For example, a website tore apart the Google Glass and ranted on how the components cost only 155 USD - naturally consumers called it a rip off as it was sold for about 1500 USD at the time. But the development, research, molds, countless number of prototypes, trial and error etc (not to mention running costs such as staffing) is something that (most) consumers don’t give a flying foobar about. I nearly forgot to mention the software development which is the most important part of that product. Anyway to folks who regularly ask about the robotics project - now you know ;-) I decided that I would rather stay in business instead. #smartdoll #makerfaire #mftokyo2019 #3dprinting #fashiondoll #japan #diy (at Tokyo Big Sight) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wjpPdA-OW/?igshid=10l46isiuzaq8

Foobar: 2016 Zero FXS

Zero motorcycle’s service and support is so bad that an owner abandoned their bike at a rental property my friend owned. He even signed the title over to my friend (the landlord). Then, I was told it’s mine if I come get it... who says no to a free motorcycle?

Service Stats

In Service Date: 7/27/2020 In Service Mileage: 2,730 Out of Service Date: 3/10/2021 Out of Service Mileage: 3,194 Service Life: 7 months,  464 miles

The History & Story

I wrote up this story in a separate blog post. But I never did talk about the demise of this machine. So the DC-DC converter on it was faulty, as a result none of the 12v stuff worked on it -- no lights, horn, signals, ABS, etc. I managed to rig up a 12v battery to power these low voltage components and make it road worthy. I taught at least 5 people how to ride on it before I managed to fry the Main Bike Board while trying to repair the existing DC-DC converter on it.

After killing it to the point that it wouldn’t turned back on, I popped out the two batteries and sold them plus the off-board rapid charger to another Zero owner in March of 2021. Eric met me in Asheville, he lives in Oak Ridge TN, to pick up the batteries and the charger. His 2014 model bike’s batteries had finally worn down to the point that it was hard to make his 15 mile a day commute with the bike. He said the new to him batteries were giving him more than 50 miles of range, and that he was so happy he could keep his bike going a few more years.  

At the same time I found someone who wanted the motor for a conversion project on Reddit. I gave him the bike for free so long as he paid to have it hauled from North Carolina to Washington State. Believe it or not, he found someone to do it for a cheap price and they came with a big Dodge RAM and loaded the frame into the bed of the truck and took it to him. I never got an update on the conversion project, but I hope the motor is being put to good use.

HEAD FI BITPERFECT PC

So before anyone contemplates buying an expensive DAC to complement their PC based music collection, please check thoroughly that your soundcard supports bit perfect audio or alternatively read these posts below for details of a windows based solution that guarantees bit perfect audio.īit Perfect Audio part 1 Bit Perfect Audio part 2 Bit Perfect Soundcard The good news is that there are soundcards available for under £20 which will output bit perfect sound providing they are used with the right drivers. A good example of this the Soundblaster Audigy Cards that can output a 16/44.1 digital signal but due to the design of the on board digital signal processing chip (DSP), all sound is first up-sampled to 16/48 and then down-sampled to 16/44.1 if you want to output CD sample rate sound from either a disc or a file. The next stage of the quest for Bit Perfect Audio, is to be aware that not all soundcards support bit perfect audio (i.e they cannot output 16/44.1 audio cleanly without some sort of re-sampling), so no matter how sophisticated your shiny new DAC is, it will never sing to its potential, due to the quality of its digital input. The use of kernel streaming naturally not only improves digital output but also analogue output because you have removed an unnecessary re-sampling stage (and this also applies to multi-channel audio from DVD software). You will know if kernel streaming is working because the wave volume control in the mixer will no longer operate. The other handy feature about Re-Clock is that it tells you exactly at what frequency and sampling rate audio is sent to the sound card. What many people don’t know is that there is a way to bypass the kmixer and use Media Player by using a program called Re-Clock that can configure all audio to use Kernel Streaming and hence send bit perfect audio to the soundcard.

HEAD FI BITPERFECT DRIVERS

Therefore in order to achieve bit perfect audio, the kmixer must be bypassed which in XP usually means using ASIO drivers or kernel streaming which is supported by WinAmp and Foobar, but sadly not the native Windows Media Player which I personally prefer for its usability and integration to the operating system. Even with all inputs muted so that Kmixer works at the rate of the outputted music, it still performs DSP on the volume levels and is not bit perfect. Anyone with experience of handling digital audio files will tell you that it is not ideal to up-sample from 16 bit 44.1 khz (CD standard) to 16 bit 48khz. With regard to the PC, if you take Windows XP as an example any audio file “ripped” from an audio CD will never be bit perfect audio when it reaches the computer’s soundcard because the XP operating system has a component called the Kmixer which up-samples all audio to 16bit/48khz so all the inputs have a common sample rate unless all inputs bar the wave input are muted. One of the most least explained facts about digital audio and one that seems to escaped the various magazine reviews and manufacturers’ promotion material surrounding these new external DACs is question of bit perfect audio, that is that the digital output from the computer soundcard is the same as the digital output from the stored audio file.įirstly there are two things to understand about a standard PC audio set up, one is the way the PC’s operating system handles and mixes sound from applications and the second is how the soundcard handles and mixes sound. Therefore it makes more sense to feed the digital output of a PC to a dedicated external audiophile DAC to achieve the best sound quality which leads us on to the topic of this post. However the analogue output is usually of a poor standard due to widespread use of poor components such as cheap and nasty DACs, not to mention reliance on a PC’s power supply which is not designed for audio applications and is critical if any sort of true hi-fi reproduction is to be achieved. The same situation now exists with PC’s as the majority of soundcards all provide digital outputs as analogue output.

HEAD FI BITPERFECT UPGRADE

Standalone DACs were all the rage in the mid nineties as they offered a reasonably priced upgrade to compact disk owners without having to replace the whole player providing it had a digital ouput socket which could then be fed to an external DAC. In the last year or so, there has been a flood of standalone digital to audio converters (DACs) that are aimed at personal computer owners who want to improve the reproduction of their music collection stored on computer hard disks.

Best flac player for windows

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS INSTALL#

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT#

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS MANUAL#

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS FULL#

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS SOFTWARE#

So, if you are a sound-loving geek, it’s a perfect solution for you. You have only a few color themes and playlist designs, as well as inferior song filters and undetailed search. The interface falls somewhat behind, though. The equalizer allows you to set the frequency manually or experiment with preset modes.

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS MANUAL#

Here you can go to the console mode and write manual command to edit the sound quality to the highest precision. However, unlike iTunes, that’s oriented on an ‘average’ user with moderate quality taste, this one is explicitly written for geeks. Known as a strong iTunes’ contender, Foobar doesn’t slack off in terms of additional features and customization possibilities.

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS FULL#

These efforts pay off in full when you end up with the player, equipped to process up to 10 high-res formats. There is a free official add-on on the website, so the entire process takes less than a minute.

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS INSTALL#

Foobar supports FLAC files by default, but to access DSD, you have to install an additional component.

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS SOFTWARE#

The software is regularly updated though, so the program supports all the new technical standards. As the name hints, the tool was released in 2000, which also explains why the interface feels so outdated. Perhaps, one of the most popular non-built-in Windows media players, and for a good reason, indeed. Here, you’d have to get by with the simplest features: making a playlist, editing metadata for a track or an album, sorting songs by their name, date of access, performer, or format. That’s because the app needs to focus its operating memory and consumed CPU on delivering high-performance output rather than providing users with personalization and customization. This is a rare feature, actually, typical for professional software but unusual for a home tool.Ĭonsidering that the tool is focused on technical specs, it can come off as too complicated for beginning audiophiles. If you want to run your songs through in a spectrum analyzer or attach some EQ, VST3 plugins will come in handy. You can choose whether you want t o run high or low-performance algorithms, depending on the quality of your track and capacities of your sound system. The primary purpose of the platform is to give users full control over the quality of the output. Just like iTunes, this platform is both one of the Windows media players and macOS and works almost at perfection on both. Plus, because of iTunes popularity, you can always find a bunch of free guides and tutorials, as well as active user communities on Reddit and technical forums. The interface can seem a bit overwhelming at first but you’ll get used to it rather quickly. In terms of supported features, it’s undoubtedly one of the richest Windows media players on the list. Here you can make smart playlists, both manually and automatically, under a set of pre-written conditions, synchronize albums with an iPhone or iPad, access the store, and rip off CDs. Still, it’s worth the trouble once you take a look at the list of additional iTunes’ perks. Granted, changing the sample rate is not the most comfortable way of getting the most out of your sound. You have to change a sample rate, adapting it to the requirements of your hi-res system and high-quality track. To increase the technical specs of the player, you need to go to the MIDI tool and edit a playlist or an individual track.

#BEST FLAC PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT#

Similarly, you can choose to install both iTunes download 32 bit and 64 big – both versions take care of high-res music rather smoothly. While this is certainly not its primary purpose, the program is technically perfectly capable of working with high-quality formats. Hysolidįor a while, iTunes users were convinced that the platform doesn’t support high-res sounds. Here is the full list of our preferred high-res tools with the best-designed functionality and interface in the package. To make things easier, we picked our favorite Windows media players and reviewed them. Quite often, if the player is geared to support high-quality sounds, it misses out on essential aspects of users experience and personalization. We tested several dozens of Windows media players that claim to support high-rec tracks, and it turned out, the situation wasn’t as optimistic as we had initially anticipated. Your goal is to find software that supports FLAC, DSD, or MQA formats, but also offers the typical functionality range. So, users have to see other alternatives out there. Unfortunately, built-in video players for Windows do not support the hi-res tracks. However, when it comes to a high-quality sound, that’s where the situation becomes really tricky. The simplicity of the interface, the complexity of functionality, personalized settings, search filters, converting, the capacity of making automated playlists. There are a lot of factors that come into play. Finding Windows media players for just any audio is a big deal.

Foobar Asio

Note that this option is not available with some output modes such as ASIO - ASIO architecture doesn't support variable data formats by design, the format that needs to be sent is determined by the driver. This checkbox controls whether to add dither when playing audio that's encoded at a higher bit depth than the chosen output format.

These two devices are the only ones showing up in the ASIO control panel; unchecked everything else. The A4A control panel gives no options to adjust sample rate or anything. Jamulus keeps showing 'No usable ASIO audio device (driver) found - ASIO4ALL v2:The audio device does not suppport the required sample rate.

I have reported before that the driver installer executable rmeinstaller.exe does not work properly. I have used it on three different Windows 10 Pro 64 bit machines, all of which are updated to the latest version ( 1803 ). The installer hangs after the first screen. The task continues to run without any CPU activity and after waiting for approximately 60 seconds appears to continue and finish correctly. However after a reboot the icon for the control tool is not present. To get around this is was necessary to go to the C:Users%username%AppDataLocalTemprme directory and run or rerun dpinst64.exe. Incidentally I also tried running as administrator but that made no difference.

FULL VIDEO: ASIO drivers is often quite straight forward, but it has some quirks that may prove annoying, so I show and exp.

On the particular machine I was building today ( core -I7 but with a fairly old socket LGA 1366 motherboard) there was a further problem even then because the ASIO drivers were not working. In Audacity ( built with ASIO support ) no ASIO drivers were even detected. In Foobar 2000 the output could be set to Madiface ASIO but when play was pressed it said that the driver could not be loaded. I checked a number of things but eventually found that I had to disable the Realtek HD Audio ( Realtek ALC889 codec) by switching off the on board audio device in BIOS. Not the first time I have found that Realtek drivers break ASIO ( and not only the RME ASIO drivers).

Read how to play at DSD DAC >

General sound quality matters of an audio playback

In this part, we discuss general audio playback issues without referring to certain software.

Playing DSF, DFF SACD ISO (DSD files) on PCM DAC may be performed 2 ways:

directly on an audio player (real-time conversion DSD to PCM), or

PCM files, that pre-converted from DSD files offline.

If DSD files are played back at DSD DAC, offline or real-time resampling (at some playback software) may be applied.

When we use way #1, we no need to do something with files.

Way #2 may be preferable, if an offline conversion sound quality is better than a real-time one. A backup of original audio files are recommended for offline conversion. Because:

further player and/or offline conversion software may use more advanced DSD to PCM conversion by sound quality or

a new equipment will be bought (read below).

Sample rate and bit depth of played back file may be a matter for a player software (except bit-perfect mode) and equipment (including DAC). Read details >

Sound quality may be compared via measurements or via hearing.

See the comparison of these ways (infographics) >

WARNING: • DSF, DFF, ISO (1-bit audio) is supported in maximal PROduce-RD and configurable Modula-R • For ISO tracks, DSF, DFF with length more 3 minutes FREE demo mute 2 second silence in the output middle • DVD ISO is NOT supported

Some SACD ISO files contain 2.0 and 5.1 channel variants of an album. If your audio system is stereo, you have options:

extract stereo variant of the album;

downmix multichannel variant to stereo.

The first option is preferable because we can suppose, that 'human-mixed' stereo variant is better than an 'auto-mixed' one.

But there is no guarantee, that it is so for any case.

Also, the quality of an automatical downmix depends on implementation.

Downmix may be done inline, during playback.
