The reason is that, in this case, only the files in the directory itself are added. We do not, by default, add the whole directory tree recursively, because it could easily take ages on a massive directory tree. The only case when it will descend into sub-directories automatically is when the "starting" directory did not contain any files at all. And even then, it only descends to the next level, until some file have been found. If you which to add a whole directory tree, in a fully recursive manner, you can do so via "File" -> "Open Folder Recursively".

Thanks for the great program, LoRd_MuldeR!
One thing I noticed though is if I convert .wav files containing metadata to .flac and back again to .wav all the original .wav metadata such as "Track name" is lost. Any way to fix this? |

The procedure is as follows: We use MediaInfo to detect the meta tags from the original input file, then we decompress the input file to WAV, and finally we encode to temporary WAV using the selected encoder (e.g. LAME, VorbisEnc, OpusEnc, or FLAC). Also, when we invoke the selected encoder, we forward the previously detected meta tags - as far as possible. The capabilities of the different encoders supported by LameXP differ greatly in what meta tags they support. But most of them support at least the bear minimum. Now, the "problem" with the WAV format is that WAV format does not really use an encoder at all! WAV format is the uncompressed output of the decoder. If, for example, you "convert" from FLAC to WAV, the resulting WAV file is actually the direct output of the FLAC decoder! There is no "encoding" step, in which we could embed the meta tags. And, apparently, the FLAC decoder does not add meta tags to the WAV file it produces. BTW: I'm not even sure there is a standardized way of storing meta tags in WAV files. Sure, the WAV format is based on the RIFF format, so you can add arbitrary additional RIFF chunks to the file and any well-behaving application should simply ignore those additional RIFF chunks, if it doesn't understand them. But unless there is a widely-support standard for embedding meta tags in WAV format, it will be pretty pointless endeavor...

hello,
just wondering: why is multithreading limited to 10 threads? is it on purpose. is there a setting somewhere? edit: nevermind. i just found the setting. seems like autodetection is not working properly. setting it manually fixes it Last edited by RieGo; 8th October 2017 at 13:36. |

in my case it was faster using more threads manually, but that doesn't mean it's the same for everybody. probably depends on a lot of components. |

In fact, we should probably use a simple "1:1" mapping, when a SSD (solid-state drive) is detected. But it turns out to be surprisingly difficult to tell SSD's and "normal" HDD's apart on windows
Here is an attempt (simple command-line application for now), maybe you can give it a try: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mul...8.zip/download

Yeah, it works fine for me.
First thought that came to mind was running a simple test like reading some 10K random 512 bytes sector reads from the hard drive, as such a big quantity of sectors and so spread out would be unlikely to be cached by the OS. Mechanical drives (even hdd with some nand cache) would have high seek times, while SSDs and ram drives would be fast. NAS drives may be somewhere in between, due to tcp/ip and all that. |

Not much of a surprise. What we can do is mapping a logical drive (i.e. drive letter) to the underlying physical device or devices – multiple logical drives may map to the same physical device, and a logical drive may span multiple physical devices. Then we can query certain properties of those physical device(s) which allow us to "detected" an SSD or SSD-like drive. However, if some software creates a "virtual" drive, it is pretty much impossible to tell on which physical drive or drives the data is actually stored. It may emulate (and thus look like) a "fixed" disk, but we don't know whether the contents of "virtual" drive are stored on a (local) physical device at all – might be a "RAM" disk, or a "cloud" drive, or whatsoever...

LameXP Pre-Release Version -------------------------- This pre-release version of LameXP is intended for testing and evaluation only. We recommend to *not* use this version for production. Use it at your own risk! Note: This "test" version of LameXP will expire 30 days after the release date. LameXP is free/libre software. The "stable" versions of LameXP do *not* expire! There is nothing, though, that would urge you to upgrade from the latest "stable" version to any "beta" version...

MP3 decoding failure (past 2-3 alpha versions)
First, obligatory (IMO) appreciation as part of my first post: I love LameXP and have used it for years!
Now, my report (the primary message): When converting from any MP3-format file, LameXP stops before decoding the MP3 with an error similar to this: LameXP v4.16 (Build #2056), compiled on 2017-11-25 at 16:05:01128 kbps (constant) and 320 kbps (constant) files from other sources abort with the same error (indicating the relevant format in the error text). The CMD console window open at the time of the error contains the following text at the bottom of the output: Initializing encoding process... This has occurred only for the past 2-3 alpha versions of LameXP. As far as I can remember, the first version which used the "new" version of LAME did not abort MP3 decoding with that error, but more-recent versions of LameXP have presented that error upon MP3 decode. (edit: I'm not completely certain about that) Thanks for reading! Last edited by danlock; 1st December 2017 at 01:32. |
