Audition 3 WAV Text / Tag Files Non Standard?

Hello,
I have a question about the tag fields used by Audition (Song Title, Artist, Album Name). It seems that when tags are saved with a WAV file, they do not match the tags used by every other application I have ever used. To be clearer, the "Song Title" and "Album Names" are opposite of every other application (Windows Media Player, Nero, Roxio, DBPowerAmp, and more.) For example, if I create a wave file in another program and then bring it into Audition, the song title is listed in the album name field. Conversely, if I save a WAVe file with Audition and then play the wave in any other application, the album name will be listed as the song title.
This problem does not occur with MP3 files. If I open an MP3 with Audition, the tags are displayed correctly. If I save an MP3 with audition, the tag information is displayed correctly in other applications.
This problem has frustrated me for years as I tend to rip CDs or get WAV files from other applications, then work on it with Audition, but I am always retyping the tag information to swap the fields before I export as MP3.
Is there any kind of configuration in Audition that will tell Audition to swap these two fields? If not, does anyone have a reasonable workaround for this issue.
Thanks,
Robert

This sounds like a fairly well known, but currently unexplained fault in tagging. Fortunately there are two apps that I've found cure it. Most commonly I can fix this problem with "MP3val". That's a command line program so I use a GUI frontend on it. More info here.
The other app is more for misbehaving VBR files, and while it doesn't quite match your problem description it's worth knowing about. More here.
Despite all the warnings about "at your own risk" I've used these apps for a couple of years now and never had a problem. Starting small though would be a good idea nonetheless.
I am yet to see an explanation as why the tagging goes wrong and I have no suggestion as to how to fix it in the content creation phase.
Good luck!

MP3 ID3 tags in non standard character set

Hello,
I'm curious as to how I can rip a cd as mp3 and read the tags that have been encoded in a non western or unicode character set. Right now I'm using the LANG environment variable and setting it to the locale that matches the character set, ripping the songs, and then writing the tags using easytag as unicode before resetting the LANG variable. This is fine, but it gets annoying as once I change the language a lot of my programs also start using that language and I would like them to remain english.
Is there a simpler and more straight-forward way of doing this?

Just guessing, but what if you only set LC_CTYPE to whatever language you need?

Newby - Problems exporting non-standard characters to .CSV or tab delimited

I am trying to export data from a table where many of the text fields contain non-standard characters like double quotes *["]* or *tabs*. If I *export to a .CSV* file, the embedded double quotes invariably foul up the alignment of the output columns and if I select a *tab delimited export*, the embedded tabs do the same thing.
Is there anyway that I can specify the text delimiter to use so that I can select a character that is not used in the text (like, for example the tilde *[*]*)?
I am using Discoverer 3.1
Thanks in advance

Hi,
With a complicated export requirement like this it is often better to create a calculation that returns the fields in the required format as a single column e.g.
col1||'~'||col2||'~'||col3
Then you can just export the report as a text and get all the fields with the correct separators and replaced characters.

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE

Hi There,
I also have the similar issue. I am able to write the data into appliaction server in Chinese Characters using :OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT or OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8. But when i save that file into my presentation server manually, all the chinese characters are showing as Junk.
When i use OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE, giving runtime error and when i use OPEN DATASET datei FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS, No error but application server output itself showing as Junk characters.
Could you please suggest me what you have done?

Hi,
Use this
OPEN DATASET File_path FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE
WITH SMART LINEFEED
it will definitely work.

Can I use a PCI-1424 with a non-standard camera and build my own camera file?

I want to test a certain CCD which in non-standard and I want to setup the direct interface with it. My idea is to use a 1424 board and build the camera file.

Technically, you can build your own cable and ICD (configuration) file for your camera. It can be very difficult, though. If the CCD is fairly standard, NI might be willing to create a basic ICD file for you which you can modify to do what you want. The best way to figure out what can be done in an ICD file is to look at ICD files for other cameras.

Book and File Conditional Text Tags Don't Match

In Framemaker 10 (TCS 3, Windows 7 64-bit), when I click on a document in a the book (& View>Show/Hide Conditional Text), an extra conditional text tag shows up that doesn't exist in the document Show/Hide Conditional Text.
For example:
In the book, My Book.book, I select Chapter1.fm (but don't open it).
Then I open the Show/Hide Conditional Text panel (View>Show/Hide Conditional Text)
I see these two condition tags, Hide Text and HideText. I use Hide Text but not HideText.Apparently, at some point I changed the name of the condition tag.
Then I open Chapter1.fm.
When I open the Show/Hide Conditional Text panel, HideText isn't there.
What I want to do is to delete HideText (the one I don't use), but I can't find ourt how to do it. any ideas out there?
One more bit of information that might help figure out what's going on:
I select Chapter1.fm in the book.
Then I select Show as per condition in the Show/hide Conditional Text panel.
Select HideText in the Hide field.
Click the left arrow (<--) to move HideText to the Show field.
Click Apply.
I get this error message in the Book Error Log:
Cannot show the following tags because they do not exist in this document
So, can anyone tell me how to get rid of HideText from the book files?
Thanks!

John, some troubleshooting questions:
1. did all of the file(s) originate from FM10 or were any from previous versions? Did you import previous version content? Slight naming differences between FM versions is an insidious problem that many of us here can relate to ... If any of the files were from previous versions, I would start with testing FM10 original content itself, to see what naming convention FM10 starts with.
2. if you want to dive into the innards of your problem files, you might use the venerable MIFBrowser, a freebie from
http://www.wideman-one.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm
Although it hasn't been updated in a loooooong time, it should still work perfectly with FM10 MIF files. It's just a viewer, not an editor, but it will help you get a handle on both the conditional tags in-situ, in comparison to the tag as defined in the condition catalog section.
MIF is a bit daunting if you've never looked at it, but with MIFBrowse the various sections of content are more easily viewable.
3. With copies of your FM files safely backed up you could then edit the conditions in the.MIF files in a text editor (or by using FM itself, although this takes some special care to ensure that the file remains as text. I personally fine text editors (e.g. NotepadPlus or EmEditor) easier to use because viewing line numbers helps when trying to sync between what you see in the MIFBrowse display vs. actually edit the content.
4. It's also possible to save the .book file as .mif to then examine/edit the conditional tag catalog with a text editor. You could copy the "missing" conditional definition from one of the chapters into the .book file.

Issue while uploading .TIFF file into Standard text using RSTXLDMC

Hi All,
We are facing issues while uploading .TIFF file into standard text through program RSTXLDMC.
Getting the following error.
TIFF format error: No baseline TIFF 6.0 file.
The image is a colored one.
Please provide me solution if anyone has worked in this area.
Thanks in Advance,
Anand Raj Kuruba.

Hi,
Often this error occurs because the TIFF file you have has been saved with some form of compression. You need to open in a picture edit program and save as TIFF making sure options are set so there is no compression.

Moving my non standard library

Dear friends,
I hope you'll be patient enough to bear with my question.
My music files are all stored on my iMac internal disk in a /Users/Bob/Music/rja directory with its own internal artist/album/tracks structure.
In my iTunes Preferences->Advanced, my music library is set to /Users/Bob/Music/rja2014 and NEITHER keep itunes organized nor copy files to iTunes media folder are checked.
Everything works beautifully, my metadata is now in good shape, artwork etc.
I am now in the need of moving this music to my external firewire storage and I am not sure how to go about it because of this non standard setup.
Any guidance would be receive with gratitude !
OS is Mavericks and iTunes is 11.1.5 (5)
Thank you in advance.
Robert

Because you manually manage music it won't be easy. If you let iTunes manage your media then you could use iTunes' consolidate feature to move your files to a different drive and have it keep track of them. If you were moving them to the same drive and manually manage then iTunes will keep track of them. Moving them to a different drive means all your links will break and thrre's no way to stop it really. "Moving" to a different drive is really copying and deleting.
Two options. One is to copy them to a different drive, then re-add them to a new iTunes library. Yes, yes, I hear you fuss, but for some who only have smart playlists and don't care about date added and ratings it works perfectly fine. The smart playlists repopulate everything automatically and as long as you use tagged media most of the metadata travels with the files.
Another is to move the files, then use a text editor to search and replace the location information for all the tracks in the .xml version of the library file. Use the .xml version to generate a new previous library with the changed information. You will still lose some information because the .xml does not 100% duplicate information stored in the .itl file and only iTunes can open that. If there is absolutely mission-critical information, using Applescripts you can try storing it in some non-standard location such as the comment field, then try to re-create things. E.g. Make a playlist with all your 5-star ratings files, copy the playlist over to the new library, then use that playlist as a basis for assigning 5 stars to all the items in playlist in the new library.

Using non-standard sshd port after 10.8 upgrade

After spending hours tracking down this solution as a result of losing my ssh settings after the upgrade to Mountain Lion, I thought it might be useful to post the steps taken to restore the configuration I used with Snow Leopard.
Changing the sshd default listening port
Disclaimer: This tutorial is specific to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). I was able to accomplish this using Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) in fewer steps, but upgrading required this more involved solution.
Steps:
1.) You must first enable the root user account in order to change the relevant files. This can be done from the terminal, or by going to System Preferences --> Users & Groups. Once there, click on 'Login Options' at the bottom of the Current User list, and 'Join' where it says 'Network Account Server'.
This will bring up a smaller window. Click on 'Open Directory Utility' at the bottom. You will be prompted for your admin password. Now go to the 'Edit' tab at the top of the screen and toggle down to 'Enable Root User'. You will be prompted to enter your admin password twice.
2.) Log out of your regular user account. At the log in screen you will now see an additional entry for 'other'. Click on that and log in with the username 'root' and your admin password. If are inexperienced as a root-level user, be careful as you can cause problems to your system can be difficult to undo.
Once in your root account, the first step is to create a new 'service definition' in the etc/services file. Open the file with text editor of choice and scroll to the current entry for sshd listening port, which will look like this:
ssh    22/udp    # SSH Remote Login Protocol
ssh    22/tcp     # SSH Remote Login Protocol
Overwrite the '22' with the port number you would like sshd to listen on:
ssh    12345/udp   # SSH Remote Login Protocol
ssh    12345/tcp    # SSH Remote Login Protocol
*12345 being our hypothetical, non-standard port.
It is important to note that the new port number will not take by simply adding a new uncommented line to the file (I tried), unless of course you comment the original ssh entries. Easiest way is just to overwrite what is there already. Save changes.
3.) You now need to edit the ssh.plist file, which is located at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist. A word to those familiar with Linux/BSD environments: changing the default port in the sshd_config file, which exists in OS X, does NOT change the listening port. Simply changing the default port, saving the config file, and restarting the server (the sensible way) won't work. The OS X sshd server (openssh) is configured to get launch instructions from the ssh.plist file, as opposed to sshd_config. If you are more interested in this aspect of OS X, read up on LaunchDaemons (e.g. launchd).
Before altering the ssh.plist file, you should save a backup copy in case of mistakes, or if you need to revert back to it in the future. Name your backup file something like original.ssh.plist, etc.
In the ssh.plist file, locate the SocksServiceName entry and change it from the default:
<key>SockServiceName</key>
<string>ssh</string>
To the following:
<key>SockServiceName</key>
<string>$alternate port number</string>
In our example from above this value would be 12345.
4.) Save your changes, and exit ssh.plist. You now need to move the backup file you created (original.ssh.plist) out of the System/Library/LaunchDaemons path.
The updated sshd port will not take until you have only one ssh.plist file in the LaunchDaemons directory - this has to do with how launchd is configured to load files which is outside the scope of the current discussion. (*If you've found a way around this, please share.)
5.) Restart the sshd server. Easiest way to accomplish this is going to System Preferences --> Sharing and clicking off 'Remote Login', then clicking back on it.
6.) Test the configuration by logging into the machine running the sshd server from another host using:
ssh username@ipaddress -p 12345
There are a few good tutorials out there that capture some of these steps, but many are dated and/or incomplete. If you are running a standard setup of OS X 10.8, this should work for you.
Of course, don't be fooled into thinking that changing the default listening port from the ubiquitously-probed 22 equates to actual security. At best, it will cut down on the number of dubious connection attempts and probing.

Hi all, above helped me change the sshd port number, thank you very much.
Just upgraded to OS X 10.9.3 on my macbook pro.
My findings were:
Step 1(become a root user or sudo)
Step 2 (/etc/services)
This may not be required unless you want ssh to work without the "-p XXXX" option to connect to other ssh hosts. I favor such as "ssh -p 2222 user@hostname" just to be sure I know what I am doing and also to leave ssh known port as its default "22".
Step 3 (/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist)
This is required if you want to change the sshd port number, I changed both "ssh" to "2222" in this file.
Step 4 (launchctl)
Below is a must as I understood:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
it should be already working with the new port number.
You can "ssh -p 2222 user@localhost" in the console terminal and see if its working.
Since I am no expert on MacOS X, and it is a macbook pro that I am using, I also rebooted the system and changes were reflected permanantly.
Thank you guys!

How to read a text/html file in java regardless of its encoding?

Hi All,
How to read a text/html file in java regardless of its encoding?
1. Is there any way to identify that a file (read using FileInputStream/or any other means with java.io package) has been saved with which type of encoding i.e. whether the file is using ANSI encoding or Unicode encoding or other?
2. Is there any standard way to read an encoded file (i.e. files having UTF-16 format for Asian locales character support) and un-encoded file (i.e. files having ordinary ANSI format) correctly without knowing the user input?
The problem is that while creating an instance of 'InputStreamReader' (ISR) we can pass the encoding type used (otherwise it takes the system's default encoding type), and the ISR expects the file to be in the same encoding format otherwise it reads it as some junk. But we don't know which file the user is going to pass whether it is Unicode (for Asian locales file should be in Unicode) with or ANSI coded (for non-Asian / English locales user generally uses ANSI encoding).
Regards,
Sam

1. There is no reliable way of guessing the encoding of a file without that information. Thats why XML for example has very strict rules wrt. it's encoding (short form: use UTF-8 or UTF-16, if you use anything else, you'll have to specify it)
2. you might be able to make an educated guess if the possible range of encodings is limited, but it will probably never be 100% certain
3. The HTML file might have a header entry "<meta http-equiv..." that tells you about it's encoding. You could try to read the start of the file and see if you find that, then if you found it re-read the entire file.

Oracle DB: How to parse XML where element names are non-standard ?

I'm in the unfortunate situation that I have illegal XML that I would like Oracle to parse. By 'illegal' in my case is that there are element names that start with an illegal character, such as a digit. Apart from this the XML is syntactically valid.
Here is an example of the XML I have stored as a column in the database:
<schedule>
    <1stweek>
    </1stweek>
    <2ndweek>
    </2ndweek>
</schedule>Right now I'm doing text search-and-replace on the XML text before I let Oracle parse it, for example replacing '<1stweek>' with '<x1stweek>' and so on. Needless to say this is very slow.
My question is if there is a way to tell the XML parser in the Oracle DB (I'm using version 10.2) to be a bit more forgiving ? ... so that it will accept element names that start with e.g. a digit ? I know that such an option exist in some XML parsers but what about Oracle's and if so how to set the option?
And before you ask I'll answer myself: No, I'm not the one who created the non-standard XML. It is from a third-party application which I cannot change myself and cannot get the vendor to change either.
Thank you.

if you cast your clob to an xmltype then you can search and extract values based on tags.
Heres an example where the table is a clob and value is cast and I'm looking for an existing attribute_name.

How useJsp 2.0 tag file in Weblogic 9.2

I would like to use the JSP 2.0 tag file feature involving having a jsp fragment as an attribute.
The example I have runs fine in Tomcat 6.0. And it runs fine in Weblogic 10.0 and 10.3 But when I run the same test on weblogic 9.2, I get the following error:
Compilation of JSP File '/jsp/tagfile_hello_test.jspx' failed:

Below I show the output I get when running in Tomcat.
Also below are the listing for the calling jsp page and the tag file page, tagfile_hello_test.jspx and tagfile_hello.tagx respectively.
The burning question I am trying resolve is why does the example runs perfectly fine in Tomcat and Weblogic 10.0 and 10.3 but fails in Weblogic 9.2. Tag files are part of the JSP2.0 specification and Weblogic 9.2 implements the specification.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Version 8 blocks http on non standard ports i.e. 8080

Version 7 handled http on both port 8080,8081 and 8082 but only text is passed after version 8 update. Is there a way to re-enable http on non standard ports? If you save the text file to the desktop and load it from there the html is processed correctly? Is there a directive besides "html" that could be place on the web pages to force html rendering on the odd ports. Version 8 works with port 4135 from Jefferson labs speed test.

Yup, FaceTime was set up on all devices using my home network. It functions correctly pretty much everywhere except on my internal network at the office.
I'm pretty sure this is a firewall issue, not a basic FaceTime problem.
