I am back from holidays… The holidays at home were nice (of course not as nice as REAL holidays…), I did a lot of cycling and relaxing.
I just got informed that there is a bug when using the Fraunhofer Codec and selecting 48 kHz samplerate… You shouldn’t use it until 48 kHz mode is fixed (or removed)…
The expected release date is still 1.10.98… Only smaller things to do and some bugs to fix.
Now I have completed nearly all new features, only some more fixes to ‘Listen to possible Errors’. There is still some work to do, e.g. in this ‘Listen’ dialog it will be possible to remove glitches from the wave (only if uncompressed). Of course this will remove only glitches, that means if only one sample is out of the stream and create by this a pop, it will be removed by the routine. I plan to also add a routine to remove pops that are bigger and burried in the sound… But not in this version. Expected release date for version 0.6beta is 1.10.98, because I want wait for the people at CDDB to check the CDDB support to be bug-free…
Important:
I will go on holidays tomorrow (only some holidays at home (where I come from, not here at the university) :(, that means I am not able to respond to mail until 27.9.98… Please be patient.
I am still working on CDDB routines, but I already finished CDDBP support (hopefully), still lacking HTTP support. I hope to finish the rest of it in a week, so I could send the admins of CDDB a pre-beta version to get an ok for public release. Meanwhile I will work on the rest of the new features, that also should be finished until end of september, that will be a release date of the next version. Of course it could be a week more or less… If I know an exact date, I will publish it here.
I need more informations on Offset Sample feature, so please help me to improve it. If you own a Plextor drive (12x or more) then test all CDs you own in the list on the Technology page. Get the sample offset of each CD (should(!) be 0 on all Plextors) and send it to me together with the code written on the inner ring on the back of the CD (e.g. 532 618-2 02) and the title of the CD. Thanks…
