Now that the ReplayGain scanner now uses libebur128, I am having slowdowns when ReplayGain scanning a track that has large areas of silence.
It slows down to ~2x.
Is anyone else experience this?


Yup, still having the issue with beta4.

Kinda annoying when your machine kompletely shuts down without any BSOD or any other kind of error

edit: but there's a new problem introduced in beta 4, I think.

Was the handling of the %genre% tag in MP4 files changed? My genre tags written in Mp3tag can't be read by foobar2000.


It seems like some genre tags are not written to the files when converting to M4A too. Works fine on a clean install of 1.1.5.
fb2k is writing to the cgen atom, but I get two genres (both cgen) if I write a genre using fb2k and I already have cgen written originally by mp3tag prior.

Sounds like foobar2000 is just writing a new cgen atom, rather than reading and modifying the original one from Mp3tag. IIRC, "Genre" is one of the tags that supports multiple entries.

I don't know why foobar2000 wouldn't be reading the atom that already exists, however. That's a question for the programmer(s).

It only reads the genre it writes and not the original. If I delete the fb2k written tag, it will no longer read the original tag written by mp3tag.

ITU-R BS.1770-2 available.
75% overlapping and -10 dB relative gate ...
I guess the R128 should soon be modified in the same way.
Great! Time to change the relative gate accordingly. The block overlap already is at 75%.

I should be releasing 0.4 in the next few days. Now there is only one scanner executable with different input plugins instead of one exe for each input library. The scanner automatically chooses the best input plugin for each file. This should make it easier to tag/scan different audio formats at the same time.
I've also implemented a hidden option "--tag-tp" for true peak tagging and fixed the ReplayGain loudness for mono files.


Are we getting these changes in next beta?

Beta 5 out. No ReplayGain scanner changes yet unfortunately.
  • To prevent problems with converting tags between different ID3v2 revisions, foobar2000 will no longer convert ID3v2 tags between 2.3 and 2.4 unless explicitly requested by the user.
  • ID3v2 revision is now reported in the "tagtype" field.
  • MP4 genre now works properly.

Did we have to reload any tags after Beta1 as pointed out in the Wiki or was once enough to update?

I had to do a reload to get the tagtype to update from ID3v2 to ID3v2.3.

Any changes done to tag reading, require fb2k to re-read the actual files' tags.

Usually what is displayed in the Media Library or in .fpl playlists are cached results. So yes, you have to refresh the cache.

Nope, it stills uses ID3 genre numbers. Certain genres such as Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal and Synth Pop want appear on MP3tag and iTunes.

Could there be some some problem with drag&drop in beta 5 at least?
I can't d&d in playlist view, but can in playlist manager, and can't think of something I am doing wrong

edit: please ignore this for a while, until I figure how to reproduce

edit2: I don't really get what's wrong as I'm too tired (never the less posting in forum) but here is picture when I try to drop file from explorer:

Are the ID3v2.3 tags that fb2k 1.1.6 writes, in Unicode (UTF-16 or UTF-8) or ISO-8859-1 ?

foobar2000 v1.1.6 beta

Reply #137
AFAIK they are in UTF-16 unless original is in latin-1

Are you dragging to an autoplaylist?

foobar2000 v1.1.6 beta

Reply #139
It wasn't autoplaylist (I don't have empty autoplaylist), but regular temp playlist from which I deleted tracks as I finished working on them. Then trying d&d I noticed this weird behaviour
Right now, after I restarted my PC, can't seem to reproduce again

Where you dragging from a window spawned with elevated privileges (i.e., Administrator mode) when foobar2000 was not or vice versa? UAC doesn't support this.

Unfortunately 1.1.6 stable didn't get these changes.
We'll include the updated R128 library as soon as possible. Next foobar2000 beta versions will be available soon enough.
