2007-10-17 23:09:40.551 Cog[2118] Could not open file.../Volumes/WEST;SERVER/Music/ethnic/_celtic/VA - Celtic Twilight vol.5(1999)/CDImage.cue (null) NSError "File “CDImage.cue” could not be opened using text encoding Unicode (UTF-8)." Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=261 UserInfo={

}

- and so for every file containing non-unicode and non-ansi charsets (tried with cp1251 and something like latin1 (don't know exactly, supposed to be just latin but with diacritics))

(feature suggested to be implemented in far future)
Icecast is streaming media server, many internet radios are running it.
Key concept: pack audio stream in OggFLAC(and ogg or mp3 for slower channels), send to icecast and on other side receive it and play - this gives ability to share listening sessions
Problems: stream to server must not be interrupted, even if player is stopped (send zeroes...), and lot of coding in general...

Metadata often is not limited to Genre/Artist/Album/Year/Title, so what if we had a metadata viewer (at least, editor would be better, but there will be some issues)?
In interface it could be a drawer opened from context menu in playlist/hotkey, inside - just table with Key-Value + additional window with big textbox can be opened for long fields

ground for doing it - there's many people switching from pc to mac (me is one of them) and they will (or already do) lack usual look of playlists, as under window$ almost all players have this
you even can make non-customizable with built-in template "Artist - Title" and this will make things easier

PS. ten years habit is a hard thing to overcome smile

vspader, consider adding code like this into CueSheet.m:

//-----------insert
            NSFileManager* fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
            NSURL* url = [self urlForPath:path relativeTo:filename];
            if ([url isFileURL] && ![fm fileExistsAtPath:[url absoluteString]] && ![[[url absoluteString] pathExtension] compare:@"wav"]) {
                    //creator fogot to edit cue... happens
                    NSString* sav = [url path];
                    
                    NSEnumerator *iter = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"ape", @"flac", @"wv", nil] objectEnumerator]; //!!! nasty constants, to be replaced with supported audio extensions
                    id item; 
                    NSMutableString* tmpurl = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:[sav length]];
                    while ((item = [iter nextObject]) != nil) {
                        [tmpurl setString:sav];
                        [tmpurl replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange([tmpurl length]-3, 3) withString:item];
                        NSLog(@"trying '%@'", tmpurl);
                        if ([fm fileExistsAtPath:tmpurl]) {
                            url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:tmpurl];
                            NSLog(@"Found image file: '%@'", url);
                            break;
                        }
                    }
            }

            //Need to add basePath, and convert to URL
            [entries addObject:
                                [CueSheetTrack trackWithURL:url //changed
                                                             track: track
                                                             time: seconds 
                                                             artist:artist 
                                                             album:album 
                                                             title:title
                                                             genre:genre
                                                             year:year]];
//--------------
            trackAdded = YES;

- with little edit (for decoder file types and may be some shouting) will be a suitable implementation for searching image file in case when cue was not edited by releaser to match image file name extension

As i promised - <here was link to old version> - this generates 100% binary identical to official tool's APLs for cues i tested it on
uses a bit modified cuesheet parser from cog 554
(if you want source - i'll send it)

it's you turn now, vspader smile

i was wrong about it being fully binary, but it is not fully text either
so format seems to be

[Monkey's Audio Image Link File]
Image File=<file name till line break>
Start Block=<decimal>
Finish Block=<decimal or '-0'>
<newline probably not obligatory>
----- APE TAG (DO NOT TOUCH!!!) -----
<binary tag, probably can be id3, id3v2, ape tag, ape v2 tag>

first version can just take file name as track title, read two numbers, image file name from file and discard everything else - this should be pretty enough for most cases
but a beautiful solution might check whether next apl in playlist uses same image file and probably next block and play gapless smile

Block numbers are same as sample numbers from beginning of file (seconds = block / samplerate)
Example APL:


[Monkey's Audio Image Link File]
Image File=Lara Fabian - 9.ape
Start Block=0
Finish Block=10264716

----- APE TAG (DO NOT TOUCH!!!) -----
<binary APE tag here, forum does not allow to post>

(actually a bugreport, but it has strong relation to this topic)
there's problem with Cog 549 when "INDEX 00" is missing (and only index 01 present) but other track have it - instead to trackchange to next track from previous in cue cog starts to output nasty noise
but if you select the 'problem' track in playlist - it plays as expected
here's exact cuesheet where bug was found:

REM GENRE Classical
REM DATE 2007
PERFORMER "Hayley Westenra"
TITLE "Treasure"
FILE "Hayley.Westenra.-.[Treasure].flac" WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    TITLE "Let Me Lie"

    INDEX 01 31:29:43
  TRACK 11 AUDIO
    TITLE "Sonny"   <<-- when track changes from previous to this there's noise instead, if selected manually in playlist - all fine
    INDEX 00 34:41:74
    INDEX 01 34:42:07
  TRACK 12 AUDIO
    TITLE "Summerfly"
    INDEX 00 37:54:63
    INDEX 01 37:54:71

    INDEX 01 43:13:02
  TRACK 15 AUDIO
    TITLE "Abide With Me"
    INDEX 01 46:09:19

in other players all is fine

update: revision 554 is still affected
