#rockbox log for 2005-10-17

00:00:47amiconnThe question is, what resolution are the replaygain values, and what range do we need to handle?

00:40:36preglowamiconn: noticed any visible differences with the new routines?
00:43:51amiconnThe reduced delta-x and delta-y resolution leads to slight shifting of the axes at higher zoom levels
00:44:23amiconnNot directly related to the new iteration routines, but rather to the reduction of the variables to 32 bit

01:00
01:00:25amiconnHehe, using your emac trick on coldfire... and inlining
01:04:20preglowbut btw, like i said the other day, grayscale plugins seem kind of sluggish after grayscale stopped cpu_boosting
01:04:46preglowdoes the grayscale lib screen updates and so on use lots of cpu?
01:07:31preglowlike i suspected
01:07:43preglowslasheris overflow fix halves the volume, no wonder it no longer overflows
01:12:46preglowhmm, it is quite strange it actually succeeds in getting rid of the overflows... just rescaling the audio should retain the overflows like nothing happened

01:23:34webguest97I've just put a file to experiment on my iHP-140; it was SACD WavPack [Metallica Black Album BTW :)] 8745kbps; 96000Hz; 6 channels; - obviously it froze my player and a hard reset did the job, but I was wondering if such files could ever be playable on this hardware; just a thought...

01:25:55preglow96khz sacd doesn't make sense
01:26:22preglowsure it's not sacd converted to pcm wav, then converted to wavpack?
01:26:30 Join linuxstb [0] (n=linuxstb@i-83-67-212-170.freedom2surf.net)
01:26:32preglowbut anywho, i'm not certain 96khz sample rate is supported yet
01:27:10webguest97I don't know whether it was converted in any way
01:27:10preglowalso, i'm not certain how multi channel files are handled
01:27:21webguest97I see
01:27:58webguest97do you think the iriver's hardware could handle such a beast?
01:28:25preglowhmm
01:28:30preglowit depends on wavpack
01:28:45preglowif wavpack has to decode all six channels, then no
01:29:01linuxstbThe iriver can only play back 16-bit/44.1KHz/Stereo, so it's a bit of a waste of resources to decode anything better than that.
01:29:05preglowif it can only decode two of them: then yes
01:29:14 Quit markun ("leaving")
01:29:25linuxstbI think you would have to decode all 6 channels and then downmix to stereo.
01:29:52preglowyes, then you're chanceless
01:30:07preglowwith the overhead of resampling on top of that again, there's no chance
01:30:32webguest97got it :); it would be fun though
01:32:04preglowsure, but also ultimately a waste
01:32:56linuxstbYou would get much higher quality playback by doing a one-time conversion on your PC with high quality (i.e. slow) resampling.
01:33:51preglowoh yes
01:34:00preglowthe current resampler will do a very bad job of resampling 96khz
01:34:07preglowit was more or less only made for 48->44.1
01:35:06webguest97will foobar e.g. be able to resample it to say: 48?
01:35:53linuxstbProbably, but for the iriver you will want to resample to 44.1KHz - that's all the hardware can handle.
01:36:13linuxstbRockbox resamples 48KHz files to 44.1KHz during playback.
01:36:54webguest97didn't know that; thanks a lot for your help :)
01:37:34preglowbut damn
01:37:54preglowplain libmusepack, with no emac opts whatsoever, still generates overflowing audio on target
01:38:00preglowi must be doing something blatantly wrong

11:36:31Marcus1you explained me your current iriver implementation, but why it didn't like archoses?
11:37:18Marcus1like amiconn said, it's a different way, and the value 0 is possible

11:39:46SlasheriMarcus1: yes, i think that will be fixed for iriver
11:40:13Slasherisomething like 10s should be a good safety margin
11:40:36Marcus1ok, thanks man
11:40:36Slasheriand then we could add the anti skip buffer setting to that value
11:40:40Slasheri:)
11:40:59Marcus1archos way?
11:41:12Slasheriyes
11:41:20amiconnSlasheri: The archos code measures the actual disk spinup time...

11:44:11Marcus1Slasheri: how goes the iriver recording thing? :)
11:44:12Slasheriand the spinup time will be never constant while moving.. at least with the iriver's 1.8" disk. Maybe it's more accurate with larger disks
11:44:24SlasheriMarcus1: i haven't had time to look into that
11:44:28Slasherimaybe in few weeks..
11:44:42Marcus1;P
11:46:45Slasheriamiconn: Hmm, or maybe we could save some statistics of the player usage over a longer period (including average disk spinup times) and use that to automatically adjust the buffer margin
11:48:32Slasheriin fact we couldn't use average but the highest disk spinup time from some period

16:29:27FishFaceHi all. Just got my cygwin build system running and wondering what to do next.
16:29:43FishFaceI'm an iRiver H120 user
16:29:55FishFaceRockbox is already way better than the iRiver firmware
16:30:49FishFaceWhere's a good place to look for the current status of iRiver port work? I'd like to help out
16:31:45_FireFly_http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverPort
16:32:10FishFaceThanks
16:41:11FishFaceIs there any software method of increasing sound output from the H120 without clipping? Could do with a bit more power for driving my Etys.
17:00
17:04:30Slasheriyes, disabling short circuit protection on uda could give more power output but there is a great risk the chip can be damaged by doing that

17:14:20FishFaceta again
17:14:36markunFishFace: You think RB is way better that iRiver's firmware? Some people think it sounds like a bag of shit ;)
17:16:05FishFaceTo me RockBox sounds cleaner but maybe that's just the placebo effect :)
17:16:19FishFaceI remember reading something about it having different treble and bass boost behaviour
17:16:48FishFaceWhat do you think markun?
17:18:28FishFaceIs there any reason to think that RockBox should sound noticeably different from the iRiver firmware?

17:25:13webguest36I've got a quick question please
17:25:56webguest36the folders systeme volume informations are needed for Rockbox, or can I delete them?
17:26:14webguest36directories I mean
17:26:20_FireFly_you can delete is only windows relevant
17:26:37_FireFly_it belongs only to windows
17:27:03webguest36oh ok thanks, not reapear when I'll go to windows?
17:27:48webguest36with the dircache, it's stupid to have unnecesary dirs :)
17:27:57webguest36it's why I asked
17:28:29webguest36Firefly: it will not reapear?
17:28:46Slasheriamiconn: not so much that i could hear a difference. But in theory it might be possible
17:28:58_FireFly_it could reapear
17:29:01Slasheristill better not to try that :)
17:29:09webguest36me?
17:29:34webguest36ok so delete is stupid if i will use windows
17:29:45webguest36it's this?
17:30:08Slasherijust delete it, you don't need that
17:30:34webguest36ok, just want to know if they reapear when I will go under windows
17:30:45Slasheriit is possible, you will see..
17:31:07webguest36it's possible it eat me dircaching time :)
17:31:40webguest36I'll check when I'll back home, thanks guys for informations
17:31:50Slasherievery directory will eat it a little
17:32:15webguest36yes it's why I make clean in my dirs

18:45:16mirakther is no bootloader for H300 ?
18:45:29amiconnlamed: No IDE, just cygwin bash and a decent editor
18:46:48ender`emacs? :)
18:47:50lamedamiconn, are you serious..? I'm blasted. don't you rather things in a nice application, cute watchpoints window. ender': can i define emacs to build and debug from it?
18:48:31amiconnlamed: There's gdb if you need to debug something deeply. I never missed an IDE
18:50:15amiconn(and yes, I am serious.)
18:50:16ender`lamed: i don't think there's a thing emacs doesn't do. it's got everything but the kitchensink
18:50:44mirakthere is still no rockbox for the H3x0 ?
18:50:48mirakI guess no
18:50:52mirakit's sad :(
18:50:55mirak:D
18:52:02amiconnmirak: Nope, but I am pondering to do some lcd driver work (leaving out the actual hardware access), win32 simulator and bitmap conversion tool, based on an assumed pixel format
18:52:14lamedamiconn: I am using gdb, it does gives me the _feeling_ i know what i'm doing (writing to plain ascii screen is a whole-lot cooler) but truth to be told it's not comfterble and sometimes I miss the reason why i cannot do something (-say setting a breakpoint that meets only one time when I excpect it to be met again..)
18:52:43mirakamiconn ok
18:53:00amiconnlamed: In fact I use gdb very rarely
18:53:32lamedso what _do_ you use? i sometimes has to debug something only to deccipher a function...
18:54:04mirakamiconn so if rockbox is avialalbe onH3x0 we will profit of all the advancement ?
18:54:22mirakof rockbox
18:54:26amiconnI'm often verifying functions by writing a testset (e.g. as a plugin)
18:54:28mirakor somethings will not work ?
18:54:33amiconnI don't use the sim often

18:56:00amiconn...and on target there is either no gdb support yet (iriver), or it requires a hardware mod that I don't want to do on my real-use boxes (archos)
18:56:04lamedamiconn: but i'm not quite there yet
18:56:33lamedamiconn: and the sim is very well enough for my needs and studies.
18:57:38amiconnAfair I never worked with breakpoints or whatever in gdb. I only used it for finding the point where the sim crashed some times
18:58:14amiconnEven then it wasn't that helpful
18:58:26lamedamiconn: is xemacs better then emacs? (in what "strong ide" you or everyone are using?) can i define emacs to build & debug code over rockbox, as well as finding function placements for me..?
18:59:03mirakhi
18:59:07lamedhi
18:59:29amiconnlamed: I never used emacs so I can't comment on it
18:59:30mirakI don't wan't to troll, but was just wondering if linux would hae a been a so wrong solution ?
18:59:49lamedno,
18:59:51mirakjust curious
18:59:53lamedit's a great thing.
19:00
19:00:12_FireFly_mirak: why do you think so ?
19:00:24mirak_FireFly_: that I am trolling ? :D
19:00:25Slasheripreglow: yes, the volume is indeed lower..
19:00:44mirak_FireFly_: don't know, just that linux have a good code base
19:00:47lamedamiconn: so, what, do you, or most developers, use?
19:00:54mirak_FireFly_: that's why I wonder
19:01:11mirak_FireFly_: I guess linux have to much overhead
19:01:22mirak_FireFly_: or something
19:01:30_FireFly_mirak: ???
19:01:47amiconnI can't speak for most developers, only for me. I am developing under windows, so I have to use cygwin, and I use the ConTEXT editor
19:01:54_FireFly_mirak: i don't understand what do you want to say to me
19:02:08lamedthanks, now that's a stright answer.
19:02:13preglowSlasheri: it's lower by exactly half
19:02:24Slasheripreglow: yep
19:02:28preglowSlasheri: which is also half as loud as it should be
19:02:34Slasheri:/
19:02:40amiconnhttp://www.context.cx/
19:02:59Slasheribut the scaler setting seems to be correct if we take a look for example the mpa codec
19:03:29lamedamiconn: "developed mainly to serve as secondary tool for software developers"
19:04:26mirak_FireFly_ the question was why starting with rockbox when there is linux
19:04:56preglowSlasheri: yeah, i too think it looks correct, but it obviously isn't
19:05:28Slasherimirak: i think with linux there would have been much more work to do than without it
19:05:40Slasheripreglow: yes..
19:07:28amiconnmirak: Imho linux would use too much overhead, and I plain don't see the advantage
19:08:20mirakok that's what I wondering
19:08:20amiconnThe only linux thing that would be usable straight away would be the kernel itself. Everything hardware driver as well as every part of the application would still need to be developed
19:09:13amiconn...and the hardware drivers might be even more complex because of more functions, pre-emptive multitasking would add complexity etc etc
19:09:15_FireFly_and it might be bigger then rbx is
19:09:20mirakbut a kind of merge with ipodlinux could have make sens ? I dont talk about rockbox, just if rockbox was linux based
19:09:59mirakok
19:11:51lamedwould someone else be kind enough to let me know of some good ide's for building and debugging it through the ide?
19:13:28mirakhem the bootloader for H100 need to be adapted for H300 or redone from scratch ?
19:13:42mirakbeside Linus nobody have the skills to do that ?
19:14:08amiconnIt's not about skills, it's about debugging hardware
19:14:31mirakI though hardware was similar to some point ?
19:14:33amiconnWithout a BDM wiggler, there is no chance to regain access to the box if the first shot doesn't work
19:14:51mirakwhat is it ?
19:15:04miraka thing connected to the motherboard ?
19:15:07amiconnIt's a tool to command the CPU from the outside, from a PC

19:15:27mirakpaypal ?

19:55:54amiconnIf we restrict the core to 16 bits and then a plugin wants to use the full 18 bits (e.g. jpeg.rock) we would have to switch modes
19:56:06linuxstbI'm not saying we should, I'm just asking the question. Do you know how noticable the increase of two further bits of colour give us?

Is there any reason to use fortran against C, and in which aspect fortran could be better for programm
20:07:20_FireFly_afaik fortran is mostly used in scientific ares
20:07:23_FireFly_areas

20:09:39linuxstbI've never used Fortran, but I've always thought of it as a language for mathematical applications. C is a general-purpose language. It's a case of the right tool for a particular problem.
20:09:48SlasheriI would recommend C as the language to start with (and the one to study well). After that it should be very easy to study other languages as well

20:12:51linuxstbSlasheri: I disagree - C will give you an understanding of low-level languages and how computers actually do things.
20:12:54zebut i still do most stuff with bash scripts
20:13:07Slasherilinuxstb: yep, and that can't be a bad thing :)
20:13:27crwli like python because with it you can actually do something useful with about an hour of exposition to it
20:13:30linuxstbSlasheri. Exactly. But it's not the same as most high-level languages.
20:13:31SlasheriI started with C and studied later C++ and other more object oriented languages
20:13:39Slasheritrue..
20:13:40XavierGrI started with VB when I got the programming logic I swithced to C
20:13:50preglowhehe
20:13:55preglowi started with basic and assembler
20:14:09ender`qb->vb->delphi->c++->perl :)
20:14:19XavierGrOne time I tried to learn assemly.... my god it IS a BEAST!
20:14:24SlasheriI don't like that today most people start programming with java.. They don't need to worry anything about pointers, memory allocations etc. And then it's a full mess if you some day want to program with C
20:14:44preglowjava......
20:14:44_FireFly_yepp
20:14:47Slasheriand qb&vb are real badness
20:15:01ender`perl uber alles >:)
20:15:06preglowender`: agreed
20:15:11Slasherithey can give the worse programming habits of using gotos everywhere..
20:15:12XavierGrSlasheri: But a handy quick solution.
20:15:13preglownicest language i know of
20:15:43SlasheriXavierGr: i doubt that.. in fact i found qb harder than C.. Fortunately, i barely used qb after all
20:16:02amiconnImho the most important thing is to understand the concepts of programming, and how computers work
20:16:12amiconnThen one language more or less doesn't matter
20:16:14*ender` once wrote a graphic editor in QB :)
20:16:32preglowamiconn: unless you start trying to use haskell...
20:16:39XavierGryes but programming a small program for Windows I think VB is better. Except if you are going for fast execution and optimization e.t.c
20:16:53_FireFly_or delphi
20:16:58ender`imho, delphi is much easier to use than VB
20:17:00Slasheriender`: me too, but it saved the graphics as .bas file that was excecuted to redraw the graphics ;)
20:17:16ender`nah, mine could work with BMP PCX and GIF files :)
20:17:22Slasherihehe :D
20:17:23amiconn_FireFly_: Afaik, delphi is the successor of turbo pascal?
20:17:28ender`amiconn: yes
20:17:46Slasheriyep, delphi language is in fact object pascal
20:17:51Slasheriit's really good with gui programming
20:18:33ender`delphi's only real downside is that VCL is huge - empty form in D6 makes a 600k exe iirc
20:19:09 Join muesli- [0] (i=muesli_t@Bbc68.b.pppool.de)
20:19:14XavierGrwow 600k?
20:19:32muesli-hi
20:19:35ender`yeah, because it pulls the complete GUI library in
20:20:02XavierGrmuesli-: high :P
20:20:23muesli-;)
20:20:45 Quit Philip_0729 ("bye everybody")
20:20:50zemuesli-: are you a kind of cereal?
20:21:15XavierGrkiller maybe, lol
20:21:20ender`if you make a console project, you can get under 10k (or if you use windows API for creating GUI, but that kinda defeats delphi's purpose)
20:21:36muesli-ze si ;)
20:21:49zeheh
20:21:55muesli-e
20:21:57zemuesli-: i recently made my own cereal
20:22:08zekinda like muesli i think
20:22:44muesli-certainly
20:22:53zewheat flakes, rolled oats, wheat germ (i'll leave that out next time i think though), walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, dates, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, honey, and rice milk
20:23:01ze(and toasted till dry and crispy)

20:24:10XavierGramiconn: ConTEXT editor is a beauty indeed! Have you used notepad2 (though this is a notepad replacement rather than programming editor (with limited syntax highlighting))
20:24:57_FireFly_metapad is also a good notepad replacement :)
20:25:13dpassen1ive always liked ultraedit for coding
20:25:27*ender` uses a console-based file manager for about 80% of the things he does with computer
20:25:41XavierGrI will have to disagree on Ultra Edit
20:25:49dpassen1really?
20:25:50amiconnNo. Before discovering ConTEXT I used phase5. But phase5 is tailored for HTML editing, and has resource problems if kept open for extended times
20:25:53_FireFly_ender`: mc ?
20:26:00amiconn(and isn't developed any more afaik)
20:26:04ender`on linux, yes, but on windows i use FAR
20:26:40XavierGrdpassen1: I remember it was a little heavy...
20:26:58dpassen1still is, i recently tried UEStudio, its gotten heavier
20:27:03zei dunno what makes muesli muesli though
20:27:11zebbl, gotta get ready for school
20:27:12dpassen1ill give ConTEXT a try
20:27:36amiconndpassen1: I didn't try UltraEdit, mainly for one reason: it costs money
20:27:38muesli-ze i am unique ^^
20:27:43amiconnConTEXT is free
20:27:53amiconn(not as in speech, but as in beer ;) )
20:27:56dpassen1i must try it then
20:29:09XavierGrwhat's the output console on ConTEXT for?
20:30:13muesli-btw benchmarked ~25h of runtime
20:30:23dpassen1can you fold and expand functions in ConTEXT?
20:30:38XavierGrthen less battery time?
20:30:55XavierGrlink for test results?
20:31:09muesli-XavierGr just a second
20:34:23muesli-http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=1651.0
20:34:27muesli-here we go
20:35:21XavierGrso it died on the 25th hour?
20:35:50XavierGror it continues to work?
20:35:51muesli-something like this
20:36:08XavierGrfirst or second?
20:36:09muesli-no, it shut down after 25hours
20:36:33muesli-<XavierGr> so it died on the 25th hour? ->yes
20:36:43muesli-~25h
20:36:44XavierGrhmmm that is 4 whole hours, where those went?
20:36:54muesli-yepp
20:36:58XavierGrI couldn't expect that
20:37:03_FireFly_on the high bass boost
20:37:17_FireFly_or had you the same bass boost on iriver fw ??
20:37:26muesli-yepp..
20:37:30muesli-no
20:37:34muesli-hmpf
20:37:39XavierGrI think it could be better to run the test with flat eq.
20:37:42_FireFly_was denn nu ?? :)
20:37:46muesli-i had to set the bass @24 to get same results
20:37:58muesli-XavierGr true
20:38:13muesli-but those lab tests suck
20:38:29muesli-i'd loved to get a useful result
20:38:36XavierGrI never use eq! :)

21:18:48muesli-but prefer report @ard
21:28:27Slasheribtw, the musepack sounds clearly superiour to vorbis/mp3.. maybe i should start encoding with that
21:28:54crwl"sounds"?
21:29:08crwli have yet to ABX -q4 ogg vorbis
21:29:11dpassen1musepack is superior @ 160 kbps and up
21:29:15Slasherihehe, yes. Drums etc. are very clear
21:29:24crwlthough, i haven't tried with my "new" headphones yet
21:30:54crwlSlasheri, at what bitrates is that?
21:31:30dpassen1Slasheri: if that will inspire you to optimize libmusepack, maybe you should ;-)
21:31:55Slashericrwl: Hmm, something over 200. But i need to do more testing..
21:31:59Slasheri:D
21:32:05crwlSlasheri, well, i'm quite sceptical on that
21:32:19SlasheriI think amiconn already has great ideas doing that
21:32:45dpassen1crwl: musepack −−standard is comparable to lame mp3 −−aps and ogg -q6 (i believe) but yields a lower bitrate
21:32:51crwli once thought i could hear all kinds of differences with even highish-bitrate files (>160 kbps VBR mp3's/oggs), but when i tried ABXing them, i couldn't
21:33:53dpassen1theres only one song ive ever had, of all my −−aps mp3s where i could hear something that sounded weird and then could abx regularly
21:34:15crwldpassen1, yes... but most people (i guess over 99%) can't hear differences between ~200 kbps files and the original with any modern encoder, regardless of the format
21:34:22dpassen1true
21:34:26crwlof course i'm not claiming that somebody can't
21:34:34dpassen1i think i support that, only one song out of nearly 2500
21:35:40crwlsomebody could ABX the gaps between mp3 files, though :P
21:36:39crwlanyway, i always encode to FLAC now
21:36:47crwland transcode to -q4 oggs to my iriver
21:36:57crwland i think that's more than enough when i'm on the road
21:37:11crwl...because last time i tried, i couldn't reliably ABX those from the original
21:37:15crwli should try again though :)
21:37:25dpassen1when i get a new HDD, im thinking of reripping everything to WavPack Hybrid, putting the .wv files on my H120, and when i listen on main system, .wv plus .wvc
21:38:10crwl2yeah
21:38:33crwli'm not really delighted of musepack, monkey's audio or wavpack... mostly because of the lacking support on any other platform besides win32
21:38:39crwlthough wavpack is somewhat better, i think?
21:38:52crwli haven't seen a single file in that format yet, though :)
21:39:02dpassen1i know wavpack isn't as tied as monkey's audio
21:39:15crwlyes, they seem to have some player plugins at least
21:39:24crwland at least a linux decoder
21:39:49_FireFly_decoder/encoder
21:40:14crwlthat's good
21:40:33crwlit's always possible to convert lossless files
21:41:18Slasherimusepack and wavpack works great on linux at least
21:41:23crwli ran to some .ape files the other day... and couldn't even decode them
21:41:31crwlSlasheri, do they have gstreamer/xine plugins to use with amaroK?
21:41:45Slashericrwl: yes, amarok plays musepack great
21:41:49Slasherihaven't tried wavpack
21:41:54crwli found a linux ape tool from frank klemm's site, but it just gave some odd error
21:42:09crwlwell, wavpacks are convertable to flac so that's no big problem
21:42:17Slasheribut now sleep :) ->
21:42:20crwlbye :)
21:43:19_FireFly_curl i use this apev2 tag tool http://muth.org/Robert/Apetag/
21:43:27_FireFly_crwl:
21:44:21_FireFly_by the way the wavpack encoder has under linux the possibility to tag the files self
21:44:25solexxis there any mass tagging tool with flac supprt that doesn't suck?
21:44:32solexxpreferably for linux
21:44:37_FireFly_easytag

21:45:08_FireFly_which version ??
21:45:23solexxeasytag_1.99.8-1_i386.deb
21:45:26crwli haven't had umlaut problems with easytag, but crashing problems... yes
21:45:57solexxmaybe my umlauts are broken. don't even know whether they are in iso ur utf
21:46:01solexxs/ur/or
21:46:12solexxis abcde known to be broken in this regard?
21:46:16crwlno idea
21:46:31solexxi am using it for ripping my whole cd ccollection to flac atm
21:46:34crwljack was my favourite text mode ripping tool
21:47:11solexxhm, doesn't do flac
21:47:14crwlbut for some reason i stopped using it, and used grip for a while... which had some really strange utf-8 problems and crasing stuff at some point, so i switched to kaudiocreator which just seems to do the job and shut up
21:47:18crwldoesn't it?
21:47:36solexxnot according to debian's package description
21:47:44crwlwell, according to http://www.home.unix-ag.org/arne/jack/requirements.html it does
21:48:09solexxthy
21:48:13solexxdamnit. thanks
21:48:17crwli can't remember, though. maybe i only encoded to vorbis when i used it...
21:48:53solexxi found abcde pretty cool when i re-discovered it some days ago
21:49:06crwldoes it encode and rip at the same time already?
21:49:07 Quit _FireFly_ ("Leaving")
21:49:12solexxbut you have to go through shell-hell when you want to influence file-naming
21:49:23solexxcrwl: abcde? it does,.
21:49:41crwlsolexx, hmm, maybe i just remember wrong or then it didn't do that some years ago :)
21:51:30solexxthis whole undertaking is a little exhausting because weird characters screw up every other tool i am using
21:51:57solexxstrangely, some iso-8859-1 characters make it through to the filename *and* the tag and some don't
21:52:16crwlhuh
21:52:20solexxi should have replaced all of them in the first place
21:52:23crwlluckily i haven't run to anything like that :x
21:52:36solexxor have my system switched to utf8 completely
21:54:14solexxbut then again, file names could still be broken on their way to the fat filesystem of my iriver...
21:55:19solexxcrwl: is there any way to tell easytag to use only lowercase characters for filenames?
21:58:06crwlsolexx, no, i'm not sure there is...
