        150kb/sec on a gigabit line isn't right.

      • pbryan
        Can you run with --verbose on?
      • 2009-03-14 07317, 2009

      • pbryan

        it's one of the japanese sony ones, so I predict it'll start with SRCL

      • 2009-03-14 07324, 2009

      • pbryan
        brianfreud: also, for the FLAC files in question, can you play with a FLAC player?
      • 2009-03-14 07338, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yep, listened to just that one a few times this week
      • 2009-03-14 07347, 2009

      • pbryan
        --discard-comments just prevents transfers of tags from FLAC to ogg.
      • 2009-03-14 07355, 2009

      • brianfreud
        k
      • 2009-03-14 07307, 2009

      • brianfreud
        well, with --verbose on, no extra info vs what I pastebinned

        Can you run file "/media/Music_/To Convert/Paul Haslinger - Death Race/01 - Paul Haslinger - A Hard Sport For A Hard Age.flac"
      • 2009-03-14 07308, 2009

      • 2009-03-14 07332, 2009

      • pbryan
        Uh, that's an MP3.

      • 2009-03-14 07346, 2009

      • pbryan
        It only converts FLAC files to Vorbis.
      • 2009-03-14 07350, 2009

        no, I know

        That explains your problem.
      • 2009-03-14 07330, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yep
      • 2009-03-14 07348, 2009

      • pbryan
        I guess I could extend the script to really confirm it's a FLAC file before trying to transcode it.

        Cool.
      • 2009-03-14 07323, 2009

      • brianfreud
        only dangerous bit it that it's stripping the ID info completely, not converting the ID3 info to vorbis tags
      • 2009-03-14 07355, 2009

      • brianfreud
        prob safer to make that an optional switch, unless you do have it convert the tag
      • 2009-03-14 07342, 2009

      • pbryan
        Trying to pull-out the ID3 tags will be difficult.
      • 2009-03-14 07317, 2009

      • pbryan
        There are vorbis comments, no?
      • 2009-03-14 07319, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yeah - that's why I'm thinking maybe a "clearid3" switch
      • 2009-03-14 07343, 2009

      • pbryan
        Hmm?
      • 2009-03-14 07343, 2009

      • brianfreud
        no, when I loaded the post-processed files into quod libit, it went into the "no tags" catchall
      • 2009-03-14 07352, 2009

      • pbryan
        So, there are no vorbis tags.
      • 2009-03-14 07302, 2009

      • pbryan
        Why on earth are people encoding into FLAC with ID3 frames??
      • 2009-03-14 07307, 2009

      • brianfreud
        not a clue
      • 2009-03-14 07316, 2009

      • pbryan
        Hmm.
      • 2009-03-14 07330, 2009

      • pbryan
        Yeah, a bunch more work to handle the ID3 tags on FLAC files.
      • 2009-03-14 07345, 2009

      • pbryan
        Wow, even metaflac can't handle the file.
      • 2009-03-14 07351, 2009

      • brianfreud
        ah, looks like it's the default value in windows EAC, even going to flac - "Add ID3"
      • 2009-03-14 07306, 2009

      • pbryan
        Dude, that's fscked up.
      • 2009-03-14 07335, 2009

      • pbryan
        Hmm. The vorbis comments are in the files.
      • 2009-03-14 07343, 2009

      • pbryan
        You can see them with less.
      • 2009-03-14 07351, 2009

      • pbryan
        metaflac just can't read them because ID3 confuses it.
      • 2009-03-14 07343, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yeah, they're just not transferring then from the flac to the ogg
      • 2009-03-14 07309, 2009

      • pbryan wonders how he can coerce metaflac to ignore ID3.
      • 2009-03-14 07312, 2009

      • pbryan
        These are definitely not compliant FLAC files we're dealing with.
      • 2009-03-14 07359, 2009

      • brianfreud
        nope
      • 2009-03-14 07325, 2009

      • brianfreud
        ok, safe assumption to make, priority of handling-wise? C is a valid roman numeral, but would you agree the chances are hugely higher that it's part C the letter, not part C the number?
      • 2009-03-14 07329, 2009

      • brianfreud
        same for L?
      • 2009-03-14 07340, 2009

      • nikki
        part c is almost definitely the letter
      • 2009-03-14 07350, 2009

      • nikki
        part l? can't really imagine that either way
      • 2009-03-14 07315, 2009

      • brianfreud
        part 12, vs part 50 - prob still more likely to be a letter than number

        ok, only really really tricky case...

        dropped comma: "For the most part i can" vs "For the most part, i can"

        should it assume the first is a part #?

        brianfreud: actually, I think part l is more likely to be a typo of part i

        since I and l look the same in a lot of fonts

        maybe, but rare enough, I think, to also be 50% intentional

        but fair to say that changes are higher that "Part I" without the comma, is a part #?
