        kandr3s: it looks like one of the albums in your library had an invalid MBID
      • it's Bob Marley/Legend
      • that, of course, should not crash the plugin so I'll look into detecting and filtering those
      • kandr3s
        I removed that album and it worked

        Hey sampsyo, where abouts are you based?
      • sampsyo
        in Seattle, US
      • how about yourself?
      • meow
        Qld, Australia
      • Just wondering because of timezones, really
      • sampsyo
        just about the opposite, I guess
      • meow
        Not too different, it's 12pm here, 7pm there
      • But I'm moving to Romania, and it's 5am there
      • sampsyo
        cool -- that will be a change
      • derwin
        moving from australia to romania?
      • meow
        Yeah, so I get to work better with people from Europe, but possibly worse with people form the US
      • But at least I get high speed internet :D
      • sampsyo
        it's important :)

        Woop
      • sampsyo
        woop indeed :)
      • thanks for tackling that
      • meow
        No problem ;)
      • I'm about halfway through converting my collection to opus
      • sampsyo
        cool -- what player do you use with opus?
      • derwin
        what is opus?
      • sampsyo
        it's a new codec from the Xiph folks
      • meow
        Basically anything linux supports it now, but Rhythmbox 3.0
      • derwin
        ... LOL?
      • I'm sorry, LOL?

      • NOTICE: beets/master 2663571 Adrian Sampson: convert-any: changelog/thanks (closes #362, #380)
      • because we didn't waste enough of everyone's time and energy encoding music to ogg?
      • sampsyo
        :)

      • sampsyo
        I think the value proposition for Opus is pretty cool for streaming/web stuff -- it's got a neat bitrate-scalability feature
      • meow
        opus is the successor to SILK and Vorbis, it's main advantage is being able to handle voice and music
      • The main reason to use it over Vorbis is the greatly reduced memory usage
      • Oh, and also, it sounds better and produces smaller size files
      • derwin
        and will be just as unsuccessful
      • meow
        It was developed for use in Skype :)
      • And it will probably end up being supported by Internet Explorer
      • Oh, and Spotify may switch from Vorbis to Opus
      • Unsuccessful, probably not
      • Oh, I forgot Mozilla and Chrome can play it too
      • But yes, your iPhone won't ever play it

        I don't understand the real need for another lossy format, at least for streaming, but k.
      • err, rather, except for streaming and um
      • video game music..
      • meow
        Well, it was designed for streaming :)
      • It just happens to be good at music too
      • But you're right, there's no huge need for it
      • It's only a minor improvement over Vorbis and the best AAC encoders
      • derwin
        right.
      • meow
        But for me it boils down to this: I'm leaving my FLAC collection behind
      • And I'm taking an SSD with all my stuff on it
      • Space is at a premium, so I'll take the best and smallest I can :)
      • derwin
        yeah, in that case.
      • meow
        About 2GB less than Vorbis, about 10Gb less than MP3
      • It'll be about 10GB of Opus from 120GB of FLAC
      • derwin
        for what input size?
      • neat.
      • meow
        96kbsp :)
      • I couldn't tell the difference between 64 and 96 for the msot part
      • Even 48 was quite damn good

      • sampsyo, when importing with the convert plugin set to auto and quiet turned off
      • It's quite a pain in the arse to actually answer any prompts
      • I thought quiet mode would solve this problem nicely
      • However if I need to abort an import so I can fix something manually
      • it becomes a problem again
      • Basically, ideally conversion would NOT be quiet, but would happen after all prompts are complete
      • But I'm not even sure if that's possible
