Today I discovered ID3V2, which supports everything I could possibly want, and a lot more. It resides in the mp3 file, not in a separate db (which is good and bad). The set of predefined tags totally kicks ass. I just thought I'd mention it to people here. I'm hoping that some of the more powerful mp3 players, such as Xaudio, will support it soon. Theoretically, it should be compatible with existing players, since it uses a frame tag which should cause non-compliant players to just skip over the frame. The ID3V2 page is at www.id3.org (with a US mirror at http://www.hatman.com/id3v2/). >From the intro: ID3v2 is a new tagging system that lets you put enriching and relevant information about your audio files within them. In more down to earth terms, ID3v2 is a chunk of data prepended to the binary audio data. Each ID3v2 tag holds one or more smaller chunks of information, called frames. These frames can contain any kind of information and data you could think of such as title, album, performer, website, lyrics, equalizer presets, pictures etc. BTW, I've also switched from using 8hz-mp3 to using BladeEnc (find it at http://home8.swipnet.se/~w-82625/). It's a bit faster, and I seem to recall that there were legal problems with 8hz-mp3? Also, 8hz-mp3 left an annoying audio artifact at the beginning of most of the tracks, and BladeEnc does not do so. Oh, and BladeEnc supports rates higher than 128k/s, in case you're interested (I'm not). Steven > Inspired by the 8hz mpeg3 encoder, I've started encoding my CDs.

No driver currently exists, and you'll have to pry the spec out of Creative with large metal tools; based on our experience with them with SB hardware it isn't easy.

Matrox still sell the old Meteor boards (well they did a while ago) but forseeing shortages, I switched my project to bt848 based cards which FreeBSD has excellent support for. Almost all PCI TV Viewing cards use bt848s, including the popular Hauppauge WinCast range.

I am a daily and currently exclusive Linux user both at home and work (most of our servers run it, the others run BUGGIRIX and Slowaris) but somehow your site makes me want to give FreeBSD a try much more than the "official" open/free/netBSD sites, probably because you display user rather than developer experience.. Such sites have been existing for linux for years and I'm glad that it exists for the free implementations of *BSD OSes now too. If you want another example, ISDnet, our primary upstream, is an internet backbone present everywhere in France (25 cities; we host them here) with private links to the USA and very good peerings to most places. Yet most of it is managed by two people and they use FreeBSD.. Apparently because it's less of a 'moving target' than Linux (ie. the kernel doesn't break every other day when an upgrade is released) and they can spend their time administering rather than recompiling their system. So I've got a couple of questions for you: [...] * I am one of the main developers of the GGI project (http://www.ggi-project.org) ; several people of our team approached FreeBSD developers but we never got a sensible feedback.. The question was: do FreeBSD developers think it'd be useful, and if yes, help us to port it ? (currently it runs on top of the linux kernel) That's all..
