Music Stutters when changing tracks encoded using FLAC

When changing tracks encoded with FLAC, the song stutters a bit at the beginning of each song. The rest of the song continues to play fine. It's just at the beginning when changing tracks manually.
These very same tracks played fine with the previous firmware on the iPod and play fine on my MacBook now using iTunes.
Anyone else running into the same thing?? Everything works, but its rather annoying!!!

Will appreciate any help.

Try that link out and try setting it up via user in the alternate setup. I had issues it running as deamon... This way it will run as a local user and just add it to a start script when you start your .xinitrc or autostart.sh...

Music stutters when cover flow is used

I'm using 7.6.1.9, and since the latest "upgrade" I've been unable to use cover flow while music is playing. As soon as I invoke the cover flow mode, the song that's playing stutters a couple of times, stabilizes, and then stutters a bit every few seconds. If I use cover flower (i.e., flip through the covers), the song will fast-forward stutter until I stop.
Any ideas?

itunes appears to be written very differently than most windows software. I've had many, many problems with iTunes being sluggish -particularly when it comes to video refreshing. I have a dual processor machine that is brand new and loaded to the hilt with ram. Every other application works perfectly, but iTunes scrolls song lists as if I'm simultaneously calculating the last digit of pi. I can't say why, but after using iTunes on 5 different PCs, I can say that the performance is not at all in line with the performance of other applications. Personally, I think they should just do a ground-up rewrite and come up with something much smaller and more conforming to windows standards, but until then some stuttering may occur!

Stuttering when changing speed to 10%

I have a 16mm film shot at 16fps that I transferred to miniDV and then captured. I changed the speed of the clip in Final Cut Pro to 10%. I did this to get a slow motion effect. It looks great on the Canvas, and on some monitors, but when viewed on other monitors or from a DVD that was burned, there is a stuttering effect where agencent frames flicker back and forth every several frames. What can I do to fix this?

Wow, that's a lot of steps ...
There is also the more labor intensive (but much cheaper) slo-mo process using Compressor that Patrick Sheffield developed. Compressor uses the same optical flow technology as Shake so if access to Shake is not a possiblity and you need to do this NOW, it is listed below.
good luck.

As you may have noticed when you slow down footage in FCP and use smoothing, it goes a bit "soft". This is because in order to make the "in-between" frames it contructs an average of the previous and following frames. Compressor 2 actually does an analysis of the pixel movement and constructs an inbetween frame that is sort of the equivalent of motion tracking each pixel. This is the same kind of stuff that the Twixtor plugin does.
Here are the results: A still from my 75% slow-mo from Final Cut and from Compressor. Note the difference in detail...
In order to use Compressor, I had to do some monkey motion. I exported my clip from FCP as a self contained Quicktime. Because the video was shot on film and transfered with a 3:2 pulldown, I used Shake to remove the pulldown. You could also use Cinema Tools to do the same thing.
After that a little math is required. I wanted to run the footage at 75% or 3/4 speed. That means I need 4/3rds the number of frames. Multiply that by 24 fps (my original footage speed w/o pulldown) and I get 32 fps (if my footage had been at 30, I'd be using 40 fps).
Knowing that, I plugged my clip into Compressor 2, selected a codec (probably the same as you are feeding into it), set the frame rate to 32 (calculated above) in the codec options, selected the Frame Controls panel, turned Frame Controls to Custom - now here's the key: Set Rate Conversion to Best (High Quality motion compensated). I then saved this setting as 75% Slowdown for future use.
Submit the batch and wait a while. When it completed, I used Shake to set the frame rate to 24 and insert a pulldown, but again, you can use Cinema Tools to resolve the frame rate.
Brought that clip back into FCP and Voilá! Clean slowdown.
Have fun...

My iPod Video hangs when changing track

Just now, my iPod Video hung when changing to another track... So I had to reset it (something I don't want to do). Does anyone have the same problem?
By the way, I didn't charge my iPod till it says it's full. How much would it affect the battery capacity? (It only last for about 5 to 6 hours...)

mine does this too
and occasionally it hangs (pauses) when changing screens
also when i click for the album art in full screen it often takes about 5secs+ for it to register

Music stuttering when using airtunes

Hi
My wife is using a dual450 g4 tower on 10.4.11
and when she plays music over the express it constantly stutters
Is there any fix for this can i downgrade the itunes version or something
I am on a dual 2ghz g5 and never have a problem i also can stream her shared library with no stutters so i don't think it is an airport issue
Thanx in advance for any help

So not even you so called mac genius's have an answer thanks
i guess PPc is really dead
Jobs stop trying to be gates
I think your rich enough
Apple use to mean qaulity
Maybe i'm bitter but ppc lasted years for me.(upgradeable ahead of the competition)
Every intel i had is obsolete in a year or 2.
That was never the apple way
What happened to think different(Jim Henson and Kermit)
WAS IT A SHAM or a marketing ploy
Thanks for the reply and help
I should just get a cheap pc and install Mac osx on it now

MPD hangs when changing tracks or seeking

MPD is VERY touchy when I change the current playing track, or seek.
I've been using ncmpcpp, but I witness the same behavior with other clients too.
Since I've seen other people mention the same stability issues, I was wondering if anyone came up with a solution for this ?
I was hoping to use mpd to build my music db, but I 'skim' through a lot of music, so it's not usable to me right now...
Will appreciate any help.
Cheers

Odd Error When Changing Track T

I am getting the following error when I try to change the tags on some songs:
"The Track Information has been updated in PC Music Library, but not in the audio file, because the file may be in use, or the file is marked as read-only."
For some reason, the Artist, Album, and Genre are (Unknown) on maybe ten tracks. When I change any one of them I get the error.
I am using Creative MediaSource, (because I am too dense to figure out MP3 Library) as I want to update to the newest firmware, which will format my Touch again.
In Windows, the files do not show the read-only box checked.
It would not be a huge deal to just re-rip the songs, but does anyone know why this might happen? I want to prevent it in the future.
Thanks,
Eric

Have you downloaded and installed the latest MediaSource v3.30.2? If you have already done so, and you are sure that the files are not read-only and not in use, I am interested to see the file because I think that the file may have a corrupted tag. If you don't mind, you can send one or two of the "problematic" files to me at:

Music mutes when changing to another app

Hey everyone! Like many of us, I'm used to listen my music while working. But lately, when I'm working with after effects or premiere and for some reason I need to change to another application, no matter what it is, the music suddenly mutes, until I come back to AE or PR, specially with AE. The only way I've been able to fix it is by changing the output from headphones to USB - Display, in system preferences and then back to headphones. But then again if I change apps, it does the same thing. Please help.
I'm using
Adobe CC 2014 Latest updates
Mac Pro - Late 2013
OSX Yosemite
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB

The Music app should continue to play in other apps unless those apps need sound such as games. You should be able to surf the Internet and continue to play music in the background, but any other apps that rely on sounds will cause the music to quit playing.

Score Window: Thru Instrument no longer changes when changing tracks

Today is my 8th day working in the score window and all of the sudden the thru instrument no longer changes to the track (stave) selected in the score window.
What button/key command did I press and how do I get the previous behaviour back?

some of theswe 'inconsistencies' are there for a reason:
- because that is the way the program evolved
- because they are not inconsistencies on another level or work flow.
also you should be aware that logics philsophy is to be customizable. in general it is almost always possible to set something up so that it behave you would like or expect it to. there problems inherent with this kind of philosophy, but it is what makes logic unique and very flexible.
i would strongly advise you to start perusing the ley command list at every possible moment. reassign key commands so that they behave more consistently for you. for example i have developed my own heirarchy of key commands:
- single strokes for all the most commonly invoked key commands and opening of editors.
- any other editor or subeditor i will use the 'shift' modifier (ie for me shift means open...)
- then complex modifiers for actions that are quite drastic, such as merge etc.
i try to keep all KCs relevant to their function...so for example
c = convert
m = mute
q = open event editor (ok not that one so much)
finally, when in doubt customize, customize, customize.

Change Tracker via Web Pane not working (when using multiple DF fields)

All,
We are using MDM 5.5 SP06, version 5.5.62.53
I have configured the Change Tracker so that I can use it in the Data Manager Web pane. I also set the configuration options of the Data Manager for the "Web Pane URL for selected records" to this link, so everything should work fine (it is working for another reporistory with just one DF field in the main table).
The main table (for which I want to track the changes on) has two DF fields. The first DF field of the main table is a look-up field (where the look-up table itself has two DF fields as well) and the second DF field of the main table is just a text field.
The URL link to the Change Tracker makes use of the parameter: searchrecord=<f:n>, as described in the reference guide for MDM Console.
When I select a record in the Record pane in the Data Manager and go to the Web Pane, then the Change Tracker is showing, but the change history for that record is not shown in the Change Tracker!!
This is caused by the fact that the records in the History table are stored with the following information in the "record" field (example): 113786=1000010 - Enfa B.V, 100075. Appearantly this is a combination of the two DF fields of the main table, and because the first DF field is a look-up it shows the values of the DF fields of the look-up table as well (including the ID of that look-up record)!!
I tried the following in the URL link: searchrecord=<f:n>,<f:n2>, but then the Change Tracker receives the following value (which is an invalid value): 1000010, Enfa B.V, 100075
How can I configure the URL link in the Console in such a way that the Change Tracker recognizes the searchrecord parameter as a valid entry (because when you start Change Tracker in separate browser it expects value of e.g. 113786=1000010 - Enfa B.V, 100075 in the "record" search field, otherwise it does not find any records).
Or do I need to change the DF fields and make an MDM-ID field to be the only DF field, and use that field in the searchrecord=<f:n> parameter???
Has anyone any experiences with this? Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Marcel

Hi,
We are indeed tracking changes on the main table. It is the standard SRM-MDM Catalog repository where Supplier and Supplier Part Number are the DF fields of the main table. From standpoint of the datamodel these two DF fields are correct, since these two fields make up an unique record.
Of course I can change the DF field and make the MDM-ID the DF field, but we want to stick as much as possible to the standard SRM-MDM Catalog!
It would be better if the URL to the Change Tracker has additional parameters that can be filled (like the Record Contains field instead of the Record field) or that you could specify the MDM-ID as parameter (without having to change the DF fields of the main table) so that the Change Tracker knows exactly for which record we require the change history!
I will investigate futher and see if we can live with the MDM-ID as the only DF field.
Thanks anyhow for your reply.
Regards,
Marcel

Can I change Encoding used in InputStreamReader

Hi Java Gurus:
Wanted to know if I can somehow change the encoding used by InputStreamReader, the value of which I get by InputStreamReader.getEncoding().
I did change file.encoding to UTF8, but that does not change the encoding used by InputStreamReader.
I am getting garbage data when reading a chinese character from a Swing GUI. If I convert the string into a byte array using utf8 encoding, the bytes look OK, but when I print the string, it is all garbage and gets stored in the database (thru JDBC) as garbage (?)
Any pointer(s) would be a great help guys!
Thanks,
Micky G

Hi Mickey,
Wanted to know if I can somehow change the encoding used by InputStreamReader,
the value of which I get by InputStreamReader.getEncoding().Easiest way is to specify the Charset or Charset name String in the constructor,e.g.:
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(iStream, "UTF-16")
I am getting garbage data....I don't quite follow what you're describing in this paragraph. Can you elaborate?
Regards,
Joe

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 Music app - volume slider slides to maximum when skipping tracks.

Hi all,
Wonder whether any other customers getting this?
iPhone 5 UK iOS 7.0.2 music app - when skipping tracks (or even selecting tracks) volume slider slides to maximum volume by itself intermittently. I have noticed with EU Volume Limit 'ON' in music settings or Volume limiting 'on' this behaviour occurs. I've turned off volume limiting and now it appears to work normally.
I did restore as new iPhone via iTunes at iOS 7.0 and had this behaviour followed by update to iOS 7.0.2 via iTunes and same problem.
I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks all!

Yep - deleting anything that's not purchased on itunes when I try to play it.
This is terrible, and especially a pain when they're things like limited edition albums where tracks are only available direct, so going for iTunes match is not gonna help.
Only other variable to consider is that I installed the "Groove" app to try out a few weeks ago, and played music with it twice. Highly doubt this is related, however non-iTunes purchased tmusic tracks also show up there and now *crash the phone* when I try to play them so it's something system-wide.
