You're a one man plugin machine aren't you

Thanks for the work you're putting into TuneNet.

@Fuzion

Its no problem at all,
TuneNet is one hell of a program (id say the best but some will argue) and its amazing how far Bean has come with it!!

Good to see even more plugins ;) Keep on making Tunenet growing

Many Thanks Curty, It's nice to see TN supported with additional plugins, excellent work. Have a on me!

Cheers,
Bean.

P.S. TN's skinable system will be shown tomorrow (Sunday) at the North London usergroup (ABW - previously known as ANT)

@Bean
I look forward to seeing it . Did you find the XML bug that caused a problem last time?

TuneNet is looking more and more like an AmiNetRadio replacement! Is there any features which it doesn't have yet/soon?

Well with the plugins by Curty, Chris, Olle (and myself) it's a pretty comprehensive music player now. ..but it still misses a host of features, most notably a music library and enhanced editing. Still it does other things, like gapless/xfade play and broadcasting.

Is it possible to implement a "Normalizer" at play time? I have hundreds of CDs with audio levels all over the map. It's much too late to re-encode them using a gain option, so I was wondering if it could happen with the player.

This is a general question because I don't yet have OS4 or TuneNet, but use Amplifier and AmigaAMP to listen to mp3s. Since both of those programs are still being developed, perhaps a playtime normalize could be implemented in them, too.

TJH

Normalisation should be quite easy - you just look at the last X seconds of music, find the loudest bit of music, and then amplify based on that. Ideally, once a song had been fully played, the maximum loudness would then be stored in the file's comment, or perhaps in the playlist.

@ChrisH

Okay, so what if the song you're normalising consists of a long sequence of fairly quiet, faint music... followed at the end by a very loud bang!!!

Potentially, normalising that song would push the fairly low-key part of the music down below the audible threshold, and then make the ear-blasting bang suddenly be fairly quiet.

Or would it bring the audio of most of the song up louder while lowering the blast-your-eardrums level of the great big kappow down a bunch in volume?

@NON

Non, the loud bang would likely be at the peak volume, so no change would be made to the song at all. If only close to maximum, the volume would rise only slightly. Because it is specifically not compressing.

Nice! I ported musepack a while ago because I've come across some .mpc music files I wanted to listen to and write onto an audio CD and I considered making a plugin of it for TuneNet but Curty beat me to it

You can encode musepack files using my port and play them with this plugin via TuneNet, it works well I tried it already. This audio codec gives better compression than non-lossy formats (flac, tta) and better quality than mp3.

@COBRA

Thanks,
Tried to port libmpcdec a good while back but config was not working.
Then decided to bite the bullet and did it manually,
Also tried to port taglib, didnt have much luck, when I get a little more time ill have another look as this will give the ability to read out ape and ID3 tags.

@Curty

How about porting TTA? It's supposed to be better than FLAC (the other popular non-lossy format). I'd love to have a look at it but I'm too busy with other things at the moment... Sources for the encoder/decoder library are here: http://www.true-audio.com/Free_Downloads

This program just gets better, can't wait to be able to run OS4 again!
