Couple of days the service is unavailable on downloading.
Strange enough, only one mirror has the download file. Can you please provide a mirror? Binary expired here

SourceForge downloading can be a bit unreliable...
What always works here is to click on "Problems Downloading?" and then choose the "Direct Link". Just checked for the latest Beta-2, no problems. |

https://pastebin.com/6vhtLuZi As far as problems with SourceForge.net downloads are concerned, there is not much I can do about this, but I just downloaded the latest version from SourceForge.net without any problem.

I notice while starting the program on my XP-32 box, it warns that dwnapi.dll is missing. Doing a little bit of research, I find out that its use starts with Vista. OK, but the strange part is that versions for XP-32 can be found and downloaded.
Is dwmapi really needed and what is it used for with regards to LameXP? I'm guessing that it isn't really important, since the program runs just fine without it. |

Some Windows API functions are only available in newer Windows versions. If we linked these functions statically, then the executable would no longer be able to run on "old" Windows versions.
The workaround is to import these "optional" functions dynamically, at runtime, via LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress(). This way, we can use the new API functions where available, but still continue without them otherwise. Specifically, the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) is only available in Windows Vista an later. LameXP uses DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow() from Dwmapi.dll to enable fancy "Aero" effects on support OS versions.

Slight problem... the beta has expired. I know, it keeps working. That is why it is slight.
Another slight problem... when trying to check for a new version, the beta says that my internet connection is broken. It isn't.

-1073741515 is C0000135, which means "DLL not found". Some component involved in the connection process is not present.

If I remember correctly, you are one of those diehard Windows XP users. Not that we should care at this point, but for me the cURL binary that ships with LameXP works fine on my Windows XP (with SP-3) VM: You could try opening the "lxp_curl.exe" form the LameXP "temp" directory with Dependency Walker and see if it reveals anything...

Opus tag redundancy / oddity
Something I've intended to mention for quite a while... (It seems to be cosmetic only (NOT? SEE EDIT!), but it is confusing nonetheless.)
When I transcode one or more files to (an) Opus file(s), regardless of the Quality / Bitrate setting on the Compression tab, if I set a different bitrate in the OpusEnc text entry box in the Custom Encoder Parameters portion of the Advanced Options tab), the resulting file's ENCODER_OPTIONS: tag contains an extra artifact from the Compression tab. In this example, the Compression tab was set to ≈ 144 kbps and my custom parameter was --bitrate 150, which resulted in the following ENCODER_OPTIONS tag: ENCODER_OPTIONS : --vbr --comp 10 --framesize 20 --bitrate 144 --bitrate 150 The resulting file is the same as if the setting from the Compression tab were not present; the file is identical to one encoded with --bitrate 150. Either the second --bitrate option supersedes the first one on the command line, the setting from the tab is being inserted into the tag prior to the custom setting, or both. I guess it's NOT cosmetic only (Edit #2: my mistake... it is only cosmetic, as LoRd_MuldeR reminded me (below)): I just re-encoded the same file with a higher bitrate on the Compression tab (≈160) and got a larger file (tag says ENCODER_OPTIONS : --vbr --comp 10 --framesize 20 --bitrate 160 --bitrate 150), which remained larger/160kbps when I changed to 12kbps and re-encoded (custom still set to 150, tag says ENCODER_OPTIONS : --vbr --comp 10 --framesize 20 --bitrate 12 --bitrate 150) , but removing the custom option completely gave me a tiny file with an overall (VBR/quality) bit rate of 12.5 kbps. The tag ends with --bitrate 12 as it should. Over the years since the Compression tab's --bitrate=??? text has been visible in the ENCODER_OPTIONS tag prior to the custom value, I have noticed no other strange tagging issues when I've had settings on the "ordinary" tabs that differ from any custom options I have set. I haven't tested exhaustively. I'm using the latest beta, but I've noticed the tagging issue for many, many months and versions. ------------- I was in a hurry at the end when I posted this yesterday. I neglected to thank you for your help and response, LoRd_MuldeR. I'll insert it now (Sunday 06.December 2020) and in this message to avoid creating another message at the bottom of the thread. Thank you! ...and I was right the first time: it is only cosmetic. Thanks for pointing that out, too! Last edited by danlock; 7th December 2020 at 20:44. Reason: re-encoding w/higher-bitrate and then to a lower-bitrate without changing custom setting retains the higher-bitrate |

Well, it is not under our control what exactly OpusEnc stores in the "ENCODER_OPTIONS" meta tag. That's an OpusEnc thing.
Anyways, it would appear that OpusEnc simply stores the "raw" (full) command-line, not just the effective encoder options. This explains why you will see "--bitrate" twice, iff you add "--bitrate" to the "Custom Encoder Parameters": LameXP already generates the "--bitrate" option for you, based on the selected bitrate, on the "Compression" tab. Consequently, if you add that option again, as a custom parameter, you'll end up with two times "--bitrate" in the command-line. Furthermore, the general convention for conflicting command-line options is that the last one takes precedence. And that is exactly what OpusEnc seems to follow here

Sorry for the delay in responding. I got sidetracked.

As a test, I did: lxp_curl -I --url http://forum.doom9.org and all went well. It displayed the http header. Why not just ping 8.8.8.8? That IP isn't going away any time soon. At this point, I don't think that curl is the issue. Used the above 2288 build and still not able to determine if the internet is working.

I just noticed that when extracting flac tracks from a flac file, the directory that is created always has a " (2)" added to the name, even though it is the only directory there.
Oh wait, I see why it did it. If the flac file is named: Album.flac, it tries to create a working directory called: Album.flac. Obviously that is a conflict. The directory that contains the files is called: Album. So, why not make the working directory: Album. Then there won't be a conflict.

In your earlier post you said that cURL failed to run with error code -1073741515, aka 0xC0000135, aka STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ope...c-49e60bebca55 So that would have indicated that the cURL process could not be created because of a missing DLL. If, however, you can start cURL from the command-line without problem, and if you are 100% sure that you were testing the same "lxp_curl.exe" file, then a missing DLL apparently is not the problem. Quote:
Generally, a working "ping" does not guarantee that a HTTP/TCP connection will work too. At the same time, if a sever doesn't respond to "ping", it could still respond to HTTP/TCP. Many web-servers block ICMP for security reasons. So, it is much more meaningful to test an actual HTTP/TCP connection than only "ping'ing" the server. Furthermore, trying to connect to an IP address instead of a host name wouldn't test DNS resolution at all! So, we have to connect to an actual host name, in order to see whether DNS resolution is working properly. Last but not least, testing just a single host name (server) would be unreliable, because it would introduce a single point of failure. That's why we have a list of many "known" host names (160 at this time), and we consider the Internet connection to be "working" as soon as at least 5 out of those could be reached successfully. Quote:
In fact, the default (suggested) name of the output folder is based on the file name of the .cue file that you are importing, not on the name of any of the Wave, FLAC or whatever file(s) that are referenced in the .cue file. The suggested output folder name should contain a "…(n)" suffix, if and only if a file or directory of the name without that suffix already exists. Is it possible that your .cue file was called something like "album.flac.cue" and therefore the suggested output folder name would be "album.flac", but a file named "album.flac" already existed?

An important piece of info was missing from your first response. I enbolded the text. You didn't tell me that. What I found on my system was created in June of 2020. It works. Quote:

Suggestion... if this situation arises, how about adding a pop-up asking the user to enter a new directory name? That is because I end up having to go back and manually rename the directories. Easier to do it up front. |
