detect encoder type and version (feature request)

Reported by: anonymous Assigned to: bflorat
Priority: 5, normal Milestone: To Be Decided by Jajuk Team
Component: (Java Developer) Core Version: 1.6-trunk
Keywords: detect encoder Cc:

Description

Is it possible to detect, which encoder an version produce the audio file? (e.g LAME v3.97) Together with die bit rate it can be useful to receive an impression of the quality of the file. The feature must not support all encoders, starting with lame would be a good basic.

  • type changed from Discussion to Feature.

Well, not sure if this is realy useful... Moreover, this is technically possible only if jaudiotagger supports this ID3 tag. I link this ticket to ticket #947 for now.

BTW, IMO a more interesting data is the encoding level (already available from a file properties)

this can be an interesting feature, because some encoders are better than others. e.g. Blade is bad when using low or medium bitrates, older xing versions are bad, errors in the older FhG "fastenc"-Encoders destroys the Joint-Stereo-Mode. see german page

The TotalCommander? Plugin "anytag" and the program "Tag&Rename" are supporting this feature.

  • component changed from (Jajuk Members) Any (Default Component) to (Java Developer) Core.

Jajuk already choose best quality when several files of the same track is available (based on the bitrate). It's true that this meta-data could be displayed and token into account for quality detection (in condition we can find serious comparison studies).
