MP3 GUI v1.0 is released!

Hi everyone, Today, I’m publishing a new MP3 Graphical User Interface software to encode audio files to MP3. This software uses ffmpeg’s libmp3lame or libshine encoding libraries in order to produce MP3 files. These provides you an option to choose between quality or speed encoding. For quality MP3 files, there’s libmp3lame, while for speed (and a lower quality) there is libshine. It also provides the option to encode files using a variable bitrate when using libmp3lame, and allows choosing a…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing another portable CD player. Yes, it is 2022 and it’s the age of streaming, yet we can find CD players and can buy music CDs. What was interesting to see is a store selling these. I expected to see them on online sites like Amazon but not at a store at this time and age. So, I found this portable CD player at a relatively cheap price, and I decided to get it….

Hi everyone, Today, KZ, an In-Ear Monitor (IEM) headphone maker, has launched a new IEM model: the KZ DQ6S: This IEM should be an optimized version of the KZ DQ6 and is a collaboration between KZ and HBB. It has the same 10mm and the same dual 6mm drivers as the KZ DQ6. It is just tuned differently. How well will it sound? That’s something we’ll need to figure out. I have enjoyed the original KZ DQ6 sound, so I…

NOTE: This post was originally posted in Spanish on August 11, 2018. I’m posting the English language translation today. Hi everyone, Today, I’ve took some time to improve my “DLNA Player” software, which is capable of streaming music tracks to DLNA-Enabled players. Up to this point, the software was able to play back local files as well as music files stored on Google Drive. It wasn’t able to play Audio CD tracks. Because I have a bunch of Audio CDs,…

Hi everyone, 2 weeks ago, I got the LG GP96Y (GP96YB70) External Slim CD/DVD drive. This drive is marketed as a Multi-OS drive with compatibility with Android and compatible TV’s. One thing that some LG drives have is that they can mount a disk as a FAT32 filesystem, allowing browsing the disc on systems that do not officially support disc drives. What I did not know is that when an Audio CD is inserted, it can mount it and show…

Tidal’s Android app now support MQA bitstreaming with DAC Exclusive Access

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, As a long-time user of Tidal, I’ve been enjoying the app for my music listening sessions, except that it did not support MQA (Tidal Masters) bitstreaming to USB DACs. This meant that the audio always got resampled to either 48Khz at first, and then to 192Khz in later versions. Up until several weeks ago, this was the case. We were forced to use third-party apps like USB Audio Player Pro or the Hiby Music app which added MQA…
