Re: First book ready-now what?
In some of the early threads, we agreed to try to offer the final MP3s with 64kbps. I think the idea was that it would be "good enough" and yet save bandwidth for servers and storage space for downloaders. Yet, recordings can be in a better quality, particularly when a normalisation step h...

Re: First book ready-now what?
OK, you'll tell me whether this is any good or not :) I was able to normalise a bit by amplifying both parts by 1.4 dB (in Audacity). Then I converted to a 64-kbps ABR (average bit rate) MP3 using LAME, and uploaded to ge.tt. Here's the result, once with individual files - to listen online at ge.tt ...

Re: First book ready-now what?
So this is the time for me / my future automatic system to take over? Normalisation (not needed for Ruth ), meta-data, converting down to 64 kbps as we discussed in the other thread?
What is the spot-check?

[RESOLVED] Forum: OpenID login
Unfortunately, OpenID is a bit neglected within phpBB. There is one plug-in which is not compatible with PHP 5.3. Recently, our hoster Tuxfamily updated their operating system to the current Debian version, which includes PHP 5.3 :roll: After I updated a library used by the OpenID plugin, it seems t...

Re: Security certificate
Unfortunately, there is not much I can do about this. Tuxfamily is our hoster. Their web server runs lots of web sites all on the same port 443 for HTTPS. Due to the limited architecture of HTTPS in its current version, that means that all those sites must share the same certificate. Thus, its name ...

Re: Magic Window - sort of
The magic window on LV is implemented as an HTML IFRAME element. We might need a phpBB3 extension ("mod") to support that. I'll have a look, but it might have to wait until the week-end. Unfortunately, it's not easy. In phpBB3, either you allow everybody to use the IFRAME tag or nobody. I...

Re: Discussion of set-up/future legamus.eu
I thought about using flags, but it's easy not to include someone! Anyway, after a couple of weeks the site just becomes an invisible redirection to the Wordpress blog, and once we have a catalogue we put it there.

Re: Discussion of set-up/future legamus.eu
I'm working on separating the former German project to a different site.
Would this be an appropriate Legamus front page for the next days? As soon as the Wordpress blog is "ready", I set a link; and some time later, we can directly link to the Wordpress blog.

Re: How to catalogue
So in the long run, it would be best to have an uploader that adds metadata from the database to the ID3 tags re-encodes in 64 kbps performs audio normalisation "if needed" (if the data is "too far away" from a normalised version) sends the result back to the MC or, if possible, ...

Re: Uploading to Free.fr
Your screenshot just shows the standard description of the service, no error message. What happened? Did the upload complete but you didn't see the links? Maybe you have to wait for the mail to arrive (can take hours, as there is some more processing in the background). If nothing arrives, just try ...

Re: How to catalogue
"Replay Gain" does not really change the volume, it just adds a hint in the MP3's metadata. If the player does not honor this, you won't notice any difference. Apple stuff (iTunes / iPod) uses a different metadata item for the same purpose... :roll: VLC should honor the metadata. Do you he...

Re: How to catalogue
Thanks for diggin, Vitkor. The mp3gain program for Mac that you list actually only gives you the volume, but does not allow you to change it (I had tried this one a while ago). Strange, because it homepage describes how to change the volume. That does not work? Anyway, looks like one has to be care...

Re: How to catalogue
Are we talking about this mp3gain? Then there exists an (old) Mac version MacMP3Gain . More generally, what mp3gain does is called "Replay Gain", and Wikipedia lists several programs for that, though I don't see anything particularly suited to Macs. It doesn't help that Apple created a sim...

mp3gain and mp3tag: There must be equivalents for GNU/Linux and Mac. Let me search a bit.
