And thank you for the mode, I find it quite useful!

Oh, I didn't realize that people use that track number thing. Maybe I will fix that in the future.

Anyway, each one of those has a m3u playlist, which you should be able to use in just about any player, right?

Yah, that would be nice. I always have iTunes create playlists for me on the fly by filtering based on unique album/artist name info and then allowing iTunes to assume that ordering should be based on the track number tag, which always works fine until I try some Tom 7 AADs. Well, sometimes you have done the song names starting, and that's the fallback sorting criteria so then that works, but otherwise I have to go in and add the track number ID3 tags...

Wow, I wonder if there is some easy way to get the track-number tags correct. Every time I get a Tom 7 AAD I have to go in there and manually set them so that I can listen to it in order.

Thanks for the good word! (I wrote SES)

Oops, of course I meant "forgotted"...

"forgetted".... is that on porpoise? :)

Oh yeah right, of course, turning it down is an option, too, I forgetted about that...

I like how my man Jackson is like, busting out of the bill.

What's with the "Specimen" crap? I thought that was Jackson!!!

Thank you for your nice little program and the good fight!

Right, there are a bunch of good limiter plugins so I was thinking of just letting the signal creep up past 1.0. That also gives you flexibility to just "turn down" the signal afterwards instead of limiting it.

Yeah, there were a few funny moments. There just also were a lot that were not so much.

I bet it wouldn't be too hard to write a clip restoration plugin. I, too, have considered doing one. I one main challenge, though, which is that, ideally, it would be offline, because the processing requires some lookahead, and the amount of ideal lookahead time is variable (depending on what the input signal looks like). But I guess you could do your best in realtime with a fixed lookahead. I guess you could assume that any clipping wouldn't last more than 1/2 of a waveform cycle, and that the longest possible waveform cycle would be 20 or 30 Hz, meaning (for 20 Hz) 25 ms for a half waveform cycle (and maybe more required for leadtime or whatever you need). I think that getting the hard limiting, after restoring the peaks out of range, to sound good is also very difficult and there's all kinds of DSP research and knowledge out there for making dynamics processing sound good, but personally I would just leave that stage out of the plugin since the output of AU/VST/etc. plugins is 32-bit anyway, you could just follow it with a limiter plugin, since there are already limiter plugins that do their thing very well, and I for one have no interest in learning how to make a limiter that sounds as good as the Waves L1, for example.

Well, that's true, but I did find "interests: archery/rifelry/wrestling/fencing/boxing/martial arts" and the contradictory message box good.

I read that when it was linked off Slashdot. It was quite possibly the most boring thing I have ever read, and suffers from severe "look I have a camera!"-itis.

I wonder how hard it would be to write a clip restoration plugin? I suppose all you need to do is find clipping, then interpolate the waveform around it.

(And then DESTROY !!!!!!)

Marc: ever since I'm aware of the AAD project, I'm curious about that elusive first conscious Album a Day that started it all... ;)

Always on the lookout, thanks!
