New Codec and FM Recording for iAudio and iRiver

[pabouk]

After the recent changes to the recording code there are still some bugs remaining. I have added my findings to the tracker task #5952.

[IpaqMan]

Here are a couple of bugs, I think.  The disk space warning message and the minutes left display do not account for the recording quality.  They seem to be based upon uncompressed WAV usage.

I think you are talking about the REP only right?
In which case this is irrelevant here.

[innersoul]

these recording options only concern iRiver H1xx, not the iRiver h10 5/6 GB, right?
if so, does that mean it could be available for the small iRiver (h10 5/6) too or is that a totally different architecture. excuse my ignorance, i'm a rockbox user since yesterday (again)

hem, excuse me but where do i get the FM and recording plug-ins for the iriver ? i got a h10 20gb and they dont work on me .__.  
maybe i dit it wrong

FM tuner and recording isn't implemented for the h10 yet. See the H10 specific IriverH10FAQ wiki page.

Is anyone working on a lossless encoder so it would be possible to record lossless (FLAC.....) Without getting HUUUGE wav files on your player

[Llorean]

The wavpack encoder is lossless.

[jamfreak]

The wavpack encoder is lossless.

Like I said: The files are lossless BUT HUUUUGE! Specially when u record for a longer period of time you end up with a file that takes a good portion of your HD. I have all my pics as well as a lot of music on my player and "only" a few GB to work with. It would be nice to have a lossless encoder other than wavpack since your file would be half the size.

Wavpack is different to wav.

Wavpack and FLAC file sizes are very similar, and both are lossless encodings of wav, and much smaller.

Nice, I didn't realize that the wavpack that rockbox uses is actually lossless. I know that some wavpack are actually lossy even so it's much better quality than MP3

Wait a second...

I thought the wavpack encoder used was the lossy version.  Its lossless??  Thats great news if true.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Can someone clarify this please?

Yes, it's lossless.
You could've just tried it you know
