Hi,
I have adjusted the sample rate for a couple of tracks and added a
couple more that I missed from the original release.
The mix is now 100 minutes long. Still no Hiphop tracks and no
classical pieces either.

112,379MB - ogg
- If people can have a listen and let me know if the levels are
right that would be helpful. It sounds fine on my headphones but
may be too quiet at the start on a speaker system.
- I have compressed it with q5 this time. That makes the file size
about 40MB bigger. The previous version was q3 which is the default
for oggenc. Please let me know if that improves the audio quality.
Here's the full playlist:
It would be nice to have that available in the file somehow.
I know that it's possible with vorbis, I just don't know how.
Excuse me for replying to myself.
I found out how to do it, it's as simple as:
cat song1.ogg song2.ogg song3.ogg > song123.ogg
The problem is that very few players handle it in an acceptable way,
and none that I tried showed the tag of anything but the first file, so
it's a no-go, unfortunately.
Sadly, the only player I know of that handles this correctly is still
foobar2k, a proprietary player for windows. It works in wine but that's
no use really..
And another thing, usually the recommended ogg encoder
is the
aoTuV-version which one can get here as .deb for example:
http://rarewares.org/ogg-oggenc.php
Afaik the aoTuV-changes are going to be merged into mainline oggenc,
I don't know if this has already happened.
Benefits should be: faster, same or better quality vs. filesize
I just heard from a dev that normal oggenc should be fine as long as
one doesn't go below 80kbps.
One thing about levels: they are imho not optimal. One thing you could
try: wavgain a copy of the files (trackgain), make the vorbis file and
check if the levels are fine. theoretically it should work reasonably
well.
Best regards,
