Hi all, Currently I'm looking for users of the --keep-foreign-metadata feature of FLAC. There has been some improvement of this feature in FLAC 1.4.0. Since 2007 there has been a warning in FLAC that --keep-foreign-metadata is a new feature. I think removal of this warning is long overdue, but there are still some issues surrounding it.
So, if there are users of this feature on the mailing list, could they perhaps speak up? Can this feature be considered 'complete'? Currently FLAC stores the top-level RIFF chunk and fmt chunk on encoding, but does not restore them on decoding, is this considered a problem or shortcoming? I know for example that WavPack will restore a WAVE file bit-for-bit, even if there is ambiguous or even invalid data stored in the format chunk. I don't think such behaviour is something that FLAC should strive for. The current behaviour of storing metadata that is not essential for decoding the file, for example CUE, LIST, bext chunks, is I think sufficient, but I would like to hear the opinion of people that actually use this feature. Kind regards, Martijn van Beurden _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
