jonwilDocScrutiizer05, thanks for pointing me at Fahrplan, I installed it on my device and the featureset/UI is exactly what I need. Looking at the source code, I can see that writing a backend for it should be possible as well.00:24

OksanaaaIs there any difference between lossy ogg and lossless flac in https://archive.org/details/GoodBadAndTheUgly-HugoMontegroOrchestra-24Bit ? My ears are too tired to tell the difference.09:47
OksanaaaCoyote would be much more sensitive, I guess; they speak very quickly, so bitrate may matter to them.09:48
*** atk has quit IRC09:48
*** atk has joined #maemo09:50
KotCzarnytrick with current lossy conversions is that you have to know what to look for09:52
KotCzarnyand with good bitrate you would need to turn up the volume quite much09:53
KotCzarnyoften they cut 16+kHz to save bandwidth10:10
KotCzarnywhich are hardly audible, but help sound waves to propagate10:10
KotCzarnyand greatly depend on music style, ie. music vs loud noise10:12
Maxdamantus16 kHz is probably a bit low a cutoff for music, probably expected for videos on youtube at 720p quality iirc10:12
KotCzarnymaxd, 'often' not 'always'10:12
MaxdamantusV0 mp3s should usually have a cutoff around 19 or 20 kHz or something.10:12
KotCzarnynot to mention it also depends on your audio amp/speakers10:13
MaxdamantusI remember there being a video on Youtube about this stuff from vsauce or something, and it provided a sample of a 17 kHz sine wave and said only some people would be able to hear it.10:14
KotCzarnyyup, we lose our hearing capabilities with age10:14
MaxdamantusI couldn't hear it, but was pretty sure I could hear 17 kHz sine waves .. it just wasn't included in the 720p encoding.10:14
KotCzarnysimple graphical fft would provide clear answer in such case though10:15
MaxdamantusCould see a cutoff below 17 kHz in the spectrogram, was audible in the 1080p version, where the spectrogram showed a solid line as expected.10:15
Oksanaaa44.1KHz sampling rate for both ogg lossy and flac lossless, in this case. Morricone music from various movies.10:15
KotCzarnyOksanaaa: bitrate?10:15
Maxdamantustbh, I don't like those versions of those songs.10:15
* Maxdamantus often listens to different versions of most of them.10:16
OksanaaaBitrate is 96Kbps for ogg and 1466Kbps for flac10:16
KotCzarny96kbit isnt good10:16
MaxdamantusEcstacy of Gold, Fistful of Dollars, Aces High, Sixty Seconds to What, Titoli10:16
KotCzarnyyou better grab those flacs and reencode to 160-192kbit oggs yourself10:17
OksanaaaI would like to split the tracks, it's currently just Side1 and Side210:17
KotCzarnyor grab a player that understands .cue files10:17
OksanaaaSomebody scanned from vinyl, apparently10:17
KotCzarnyvinyl rips are interesting in that they are DIFFERENT than digital material10:18
KotCzarnymuch warmer/vibrant10:18
KotCzarnybut different from original10:18
MaxdamantusThough you can probably achieve the same "warmth"/"vibrance" using equalisers.10:19
Maxdamantuson a theoretical 44.1 kHz digital source that the vinyl might've been made from.10:19
KotCzarnymaxd, possible, but tricky10:19
Maxdamantusjust depends on the player.10:20
OksanaaaGrabbing the flacs, definitely. Not sure they would stay on archive.org for long; 1976 doesn't sound like public domain material10:20
KotCzarnyimo music should have similar timeout for copyright as patents10:20
KotCzarny15-20 years max10:20
KotCzarnybut that's me.10:21
KotCzarnywhy bach family doesnt sue all those thiefs!10:21
* Maxdamantus has "The Legendary Italian Westerns" which he converted to flac himself from CD.10:21
KotCzarnywhat about celts heritage?10:21
Maxdamantus(Ennio Morricone)10:21
*** florian has joined #maemo10:22
KotCzarnyanyway, storage is cheap nowadays, so it's best to have lossless versions, and just compress for n900 etc10:23
MaxdamantusVinyl usually seems silly to me. If you want something 24-bit, why not just play the 16-bit stuff through a speaker and record it in 24-bit using a microphone?10:23
MaxdamantusSimilar effect.10:23
* Maxdamantus just plays the flacs on his N900.10:24
OksanaaaNod10:24
KotCzarny:)10:25
OksanaaaWould be nice. But I don't even try to keep up with these laws. There are categories like: 1) kind artists who release music under good licence (Felipe Sarro); 2) new art which is sharply guarded against piracy (not worth the trouble); 3) old art which is shared around easily; 4) antique art which is officially in public domain. Maybe, several other categories, such as lost art, or something.10:26
Maxdamantusand yes, the logic for extending copyright seems broken to me.10:27
Oksanaaa16-bit to 24-bit upscaling makes sense only when speaker and microphone are high enough quality to actually improve the quality of the recording.10:27
KotCzarnythey are just afraid people would discover old music is good and stop buying new thing ;)10:28
KotCzarny*things10:28
OksanaaaCopyright extension? Copyright holders do not want to lose their source of income.10:28
MaxdamantusA few years ago when people were talking about the TPPA here, there was a musician here (in NZ) that came out and said for musicians' sake the copyright duration should be extended from 50 years to 75 years because they depend on those dividends.10:29
MaxdamantusHis most well-known song, has since moved into the public domain.10:29
OksanaaaNice, name?10:29
Maxdamantuswhich is pretty much the only well-known song from NZ in that time period.10:29
MaxdamantusRay Columbus.10:29
Maxdamantushe actually died recently .. maybe that's why.10:29
Maxdamantusanyway, the point is that he clearly didn't make the song under the expectation that he would still be getting money from it 75 years later (I doubt he expected to be getting money from it even 20 years later), so it's hard to say that the 75-year duration encouraged him to make that music.10:31
Maxdamantuswhich is supposedly the point of copyright: provide rights to content so people have a reason to produce it.10:31
MaxdamantusThis is the song btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=begMgjEBdAw10:34
OksanaaaJust phase it out slowly. Not sudden jump from copyright to public domain, but gradual change with different steps of Creative Commons inbetween.10:34
*** troulouliou_div2 has joined #maemo10:36
OksanaaaThank you. Unfortunately, I am used to far less repetitive lyrics.10:41
KotCzarnyhehe, nice argument for 'reason to produce music'10:44
KotCzarnyif they are given too much, they stop10:44
KotCzarny;)10:44
KotCzarnyif given too little, they stop10:45
OksanaaaLawl, limit it by sum of money, instead of number of years?10:58
KotCzarnyyeah, first year is big, next 5 years half of it, next 10 1/4, then stop/just donations10:59
KotCzarnyits funny that we live in a world with rules to forbid spreading IDEAS10:59
KotCzarnyunless you pay, hah10:59
