Title: Length error in flac file
Post by: hybride on March 03, 2008, 06:25:59 pm
hmmm, just bought your program to get rid off some issues.. 

I have now read that you allready took notice about this issue.
I recoded 500gb music from WMA to FLAc to use your program in the future.
So i hope you can fix this thing in future versions..

No back to my seat  :soundsgood:

But ... but I don't know what you mean !!
If I 'took notice" of something, I must have forgotten. Help ?

I'm having problems playing 24/96 FLAC files (downloaded from Linn).

1) The first error I get is "Length error in FLAC file". 'OK'ing this allows me to play the file. The error often appears again.

2) With Q1=0, the file only plays for a few seconds and then stops. Changing to Q=-2 solves this... for some files, but not all.

3) At some point I get the error "Engine #3 did not start within the expected time!". If I ignore this, the music continues to play. As soon as I press OK, the music stops.

4) The slider doesn't move throughout the song. If touched, I get the attached error.


Incidentally, I have buffer size set to 96 samples and 'DAC is 32 bits 192.0 Khz' selected (these FLAC files don't play on 'DAC is 16 bits 44.1 KHz').

Hi Mani,

You are dealing with a complex of happenings here, and ultimately the error you provided is unrelated because of all.

All starts with your 1) and it looks like that or the error is inapplicable, or the proceeding with playing is.
I will look into this.

Thanks for your excessive outlay !
Peter

Found that. Currently for FLAC (MP3 as well btw :)) only 44.1/16 is supported.

I'll squeeze it in.
Anything else ? :swoon:

Well, now that you're asking, could you knock up a quick 3-way phase-coherent x-over and DRC function... by the weekend would be good.

Cheers, I look forward to that.

Mani.

Would you like that Left, Right, or spread somehow ?

0.9u-4 plays my Linn-downloaded FLAC 24/96 files just fine. No error messages. Thanks Peter.

They sound wonderful!

There is a huge difference switching between 'DAC is 32 bits 192.0 KHz' and 'DAC is 16 bits 192.0 KHz'.

I have the 16/44.1 files of the same tracks extracted from CD. However, these are all HDCD-encoded. I will try to compare these with the FLAC files this weekend (IMO HDCD files sound awful without an HDCD decoder and my wife is currently hogging the other system with HDCD decoder).
