Recompress flac driver#
Get the driver with with Settings->Maintenance->Advanced->Get DLNA That's hard to answer - when playing its like a quiet computer fan - not whisper quiet but you wouldn't hear it above the music unless you went in close. If your DAC has optical you can use B2s optical output - you will get the benefit of your DAC's signal to noise ratio - though to be clear the B2 optical output only sends 16 bit samples. 24 Bit external USB DACī2 will not drive an external USB DAC. This creates an MP3 copy of all FLAC files for export to MP3 players. We introduced the MP3 Mirror function in 2020. Gapless?ī2 will play continuous pieces of music - EXACTLY as the original CD will play - so no gaps - just turn off segue. You might have problems with internet radio though. Should be OK for looking up album & track data and it won't affect the Web User Interface - because thats down to your Wifi speed - probably many megabits.
Recompress flac Pc#
Again you need to use a PC or Mac to transfer the music from CD to USB and then import. You need to use a PC or Mac to transfer the music from CD to USB and then import. If you do get a mixed up album like that you can just delete it and start again. The web interface makes finding and renaming clearer - but you can always find the last album loaded on the front panel by using Browse Albums and turning the knob anticlockwise - it wraps from the first to the last if you see what I mean.
Then load the second and repeat the process. The way to deal with multi CD sets is to load the first CD then rename the album so it is likely to be unique "Aida - CD1" would be a good choice. Sometimes the album names in the database are the same for several CDs - although the tracks are different. You need to be careful with multi CD sets. Multi CD Set - second overwrites the first. It encodes MP3 in about real time - which is a nuisance but you only do it once and its typically done overnight.
Recompress flac software#
MP3 encoders on PCs have the triple advantage that they have hand coded software on a faster processor with dedicated (accelerated) instructions for this sort of job. B2 uses the Raspberry Pi running Linux so I use an MP3 library which is not tuned in the same way. Mp3 encoding is slower than JB7 for instance because JB7 used my own handwritten assembly language MP3 encoder. It displays compressing xyz just before it goes into standby as it checks the disk to see if there is anything to do. Double compressed?ī2 only compresses wav files - the original uncompressed files created when you ripped your CDs. Then transfer the music using a USB memory stick. Sometimes you will find that a larger desktop CD mechanism will read a difficult CD - so try ripping on a PC as a last resort. Try washing gently with Fairy liquid, rinse and dab dry. In this case it is the last track that fails to load. This usually means there is a video track on the CD - sometimes not mentioned on the CD cover. Then Select USB Functions -> Load Database. Copy it to a USB memory stick and plug it into B2 USB C.
Recompress flac update#
The B2 does not update its "offline" database with a CD like the JB7. Though you won't need it if you connect the B2 to the internet. The B2 has the latest album database installed at the factory. Settings->Compression->None Is the CD Database Included? Sorry you have to load the entire CD and delete what you don't want. An unrecognised CD will be filed under artist "Unknown" initially. You can rename the artist, album and tracks any time. I have found in the past that cleaning a CD has helped. But I tend to find that if it starts slow - it stays slow. Sometimes a CD will slow down mid rip - but then get faster again. My hunch is that CD mech measures the quality of the signal coming back from the CD and slows down if its not a good signal. The speed is down to the CD mechanism and we have seen this behaviour in both JB7 and B2 using CD mechanisms from a variety of manufacturers. Some CDs will start ripping at about 12x and get faster and faster up to about 24x (actually thats because the disk is spinning at the same number of revolutions per second but as the laser works its way out from the middle the circumference increases so the data rate increases).
Why does ripping speed vary from CD to CD? However if the name is not not exactly the same as the CDDB entry - then B2 will create a new copy of the music with the different name- so you will have to manually delete the old compressed music. When you rip a CD (or import from USB) it replaces any existing tracks with the same name - whether they are compressed or not. You can choose between 128k and 256k Load CD that is already compressed.
