Jukebox Recorder 20 record in lossless?
jbills:
This is fantastic - will be a huge asset to us "old school" archos users! I can't believe my little ondio is an uncompressed recorder now. HUGE!
hey, it's working for me, but the only question I have - how do you control the input gain? the recordings I just tried weren't clipping or anything, but I just can't wrap my head around recording without gain controls. anyone know?
pixelma:
At the moment you can't control the gain from within the plugin but: wavrecord will use the gain you set in the recording screen; just set it there before starting the plugin. It's not very user friendly but this exists as a plugin to demonstrate that the feature works and one can already use it. The plan is to have it integrated in the core as "just" another recording setting, *one day*.

You probably already noticed that wavrecord will only record to the MMC because those usually have more storage than the internal memory. Due to the fact that write speed can vary a lot between cards, there is a possibility that wavrecord can fail on one or the other - you'll notice that the filesize won't increase anymore at the point where it just can't write the data away fast enough; but you can still turn it off. For me one of my MMCs isn't fast enough, the other is. :)
P.S. Yes, yes, I know. I'll put that wiki page up tomorrow and hopefully start the tex file for the manual.
jbills:
Incredible! thank you thank you thank you for this, and for the explaination. Will definitely put this to use - LOTS! especially once it's integrated into the core. Thanks again. can't say that enough.

This is really big news!! ;D
I made some test recordings with wavrecord this weekend (via internal mic and via SPDIF) and it worked like a charm!
Since the file size of a single recording is limited to 2 GB by the file system, it is possible to record up about 3 hours (@ 48 kHz, stereo) or 3 hours, 15 minutes (@ 44,1 kHz, stereo) at a time. This should be sufficient for most purposes... :)
Has anybody tried if the batteries allow recordings of 2 or 3 hours? The hard drive of my Recorder v1 (with 8MB RAM mod) spins up about every 40 seconds while recording in WAV format, so it might drain the batteries faster than recording in MP3 format. On the other hand, the MAS chip probably eats less power if it does not have to encode in MP3 format!?
Many thanks to everyone involved in the WAV playing and recording plugins! You did a great job!

I agree, great Job. 8-)

I suppose that a hard disk spinning up consumes more energy than a MAS encoding MP3 in realtime, since the MAS is specialized to do the encoding with low battery usage.
I'm really looking foward to see the WAV recording feature integrated into the core recording system of Rockbox. If Rockbox monitored the file size and began a new file after reaching 2 GB it would be perfect. ;)
But neveretheless the wav plug-ins are more than I've ever dreamed about.
