AAAAAAAA THANK YOU~~~~~~~~

Making all the files .ogg is rather inconvenient for winamp users. I've got 1763 touhou songs with ratings and playcounts that would be lost if I just replaced all the mp3 with new ogg versions. Since all songs are .ogg now, it means there isn't really a way to just download the newly added files and append to existing .mp3 ones.

What vorbis quality setting is this set to?

It’s q6. Added to torrent name.

Re #2: Sucks to be a Winamp user, I guess.

Sucks to be any media player user, since a large majority of playlist files take into account file location on an HDD...

In any case, I’m not the one who made the MP3 torrents. I needed space, so I converted everything to a lossy format and shared it here because why not. I’m not going to use a terrible format that has been obsolete for more than 10 years just for your convenience. I picked what is most convenient for me and achieves transparency at this bit rate (most modern lossy audio codecs do—MP3 does not).

DONT use vuze. It can't allocate the torrent properly on win 7 and install a bunch of malware even if you tick off all the "extras"

Requiring seeding please. The download speed is too fluctuating to efficiently get such a huge file.

I get this exact error in Deluge on Windows preventing me from downloading it:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: D:\Users\Username\Music\tlmc/[SWING HOLIC]/2013.08.12 [SWHC-0011] SWING HOLIC VOL.11 [C84]/[03] MEG NATLEY - Casket of Stars.ogg

QBittorrent won't even recognize it exists. Neither will Transmission QT.

Transmission on my QNAP NAS completely downloaded the torrent, but the main problem is that the files are all named badly so I can't even transfer it to my NTFS partition, and the metadata is all in SHIFT-JIS, so any device that only recognizes UTF-8 will show fucked-up garbled text.

To be completely clear on my above post: What is preventing me from downloading the file is not incorrect slashmarks. That is a result of poor console logging on the part of Deluge--totally separate from OS filesystem access concerns.

The real problem is that some files have corrupted filenames not recognized by NTFS. In example, the Casket of Stars.ogg has an "extra long space" character embedded in it that spans 8 em.

I tried rwx's TLMC v18 and it works great on QBittorrent.
I have no idea what's up with yours and why it causes "metadata too large" errors.

For those getting errors with qbittorrent or others, I had to use Tixati to download this, it works.

Thanks a ton for this!

Thank-you for using Vorbis q6 instead of mp3 320k!

Re “metadata too large” errors: I’m sorry about that. The character in question is a tab character. That’s a fuckup on part of whomever wrote the cue sheets, and it didn’t occur to me to theck for that, since tabs are not commonly documented as invalid file name characters on Windows file systems. Nor did I notice anything unusual on my systems, because on other operating systems, anything but / and NULL bytes can go into a file name (including line breaks and other crazy things).

Also, all metadata is in UTF-8, not Shift-JIS. Anything else would be invalid for Vorbis comments, and in fact the scripts I wrote for conversion would error out on invalid UTF-8 sequences.

You say mp3 is obsolete, but ogg is obsolete as well. Why don't you use opus at a sensible bitrate like 96 kb/s? Make it 128 kb/s if you wish. Huge space saving and a real future-proof format.

Opus solves a different problem than Vorbis. Also, I have samples where Opus performs significantly worse than Vorbis (introduces very pronounced warbling in lower frequencies), at *any* bitrate and frame size, due to encoder flaws that still need to be ironed out. Haven’t filed a proper bug though, just poked Opus people on IRC about it, so thanks for the indirect reminder :V

I’d be glad to use Opus, but it’s not quite the general-purpose codec people make it out to be, if only for the fact that it doesn’t support the 44.1 kHz sample rate that is used on CDs, necessitating resampling. And it certainly wasn’t ready about a year ago, when this torrent was uploaded. I haven’t done enough testing to verify that it’s actually good at 96/128 kbit/s, either. I know it blows everything else out of the water when it comes to very low bitrates (not transparent though), but I’m convinced that this needs more time and a larger sample size than is typically available for listening tests. Time to familiarize yourself with what compression artifacts of this codec sound like, so that you can tell how much compression you can get away with, without going “oh this sounds like crap” and redownloading everything in a year or two. This has happened to me before, and I won’t repeat that mistake.

In contrast, I know with certainty that I tend to notice Vorbis compression artifacts at q5, but higher rates are fine to my ears (though things are different with multi-channel audio). Spec-wise, the Vorbis codec isn’t overwhelmingly good, but it has a very good encoder that has seen all sorts of tweaks over the years. Opus doesn’t have this yet. I also still use a pretty old Cowon player that doesn’t support Opus because it has better audio hardware than most smartphones, so device/software compatibility was somewhat of a concern.

thanks, currently DL'in this. I'll seed it 'till my seedbox die if it finished.
