Let me generalize my earlier question. Can anyone recommend a Windows program that will convert .wav audio files to .ogg audio files from the command line? I can't get VLC to do so ( as seen above). Comet Tuttle ( talk) 02:00, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

There's an old Dell Dimension 5150 that both my bro-in-law and I want. He wants it for this which says that the software requires an Intel Core 2 Duo. This Dell documentation says that the 5150 has an Intel Pentium 4. Am I right in thinking that the Pentium 4 won't meet the requirements that my bro-in-law wants it for?

I am using Thunderbird for the first time but it sends an error report: Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent using SMTP server smtp.gmail.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact your network administrator. -- Extra 999 ( Contact me + contribs) 09:23, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello.
I was always wondering about one thing - how to recognize MP3 with its sound and to auto-tag MP3s. So I did some research and found some programs that can handle with that problem.
Here they are:
1. MusicBrainz Picard (
[1])
2. Jaikoz (
[2])
3. TuneUp (
[3]).
Those programs use two different databases (first and second one - MusicBrainz's database, third one - Gracenote's).
As I checked it up it seemed that Gracenote's database is much bigger (according to its site (
[4]) it has over 100 millions tracks with an audio fingerprints for over 28 millions tracks) than MusicBrainz (about 9,5 million).
So I have checked up some of my music files if those programs can identify them. It seems all those applications can identify well-known songs but there are some minor and major problems if songs aren't so famous (e.g. Japanese songs and different performances of a classical pieces). I thought it could be better if in these cases the whole tracks should be analysed (with Gracenote's MusicID or MusicBrainz's MusicIP). Because acoustic fingerprinting uses only short fragments of compositions (it cuts down the time that's needed to identify a song).
Another thing - MB's database is created by all users. Its quality of auto-tagging depends from how tags have been filled by users (and you know - you can never know how precisely it has been done).
So, here are my questions:
1. Is there any program that analysis whole tracks instead of small fragments?
2. Do you know how is database of Gracenote created (exactly - who and how often add new tracks)? If they have some contacts with music industries and from those industries they receive tracks with filled ID3 or something like that?
It seems to me it would be perfect if in a program would be an option to check whole track or only its fragment and if a database has been professionally created (if it could be done with a collaboration of releasers - it sounds amazing for me).
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm having trouble accessing zshare.net. Every time I try, firefox returns the error "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at zshare.net" etc. However, I know the site is up and operational because I've checked via proxy. So the problem must be with my computer or my ISP. I've restarted my computer, restarted my router, flushed the dns cache, tried used OpenDNS, and I still can't access zshare.net. Is there anything else I can try? 82.44.55.254 ( talk) 11:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

I read somewhere about some software what could search for duplicate images what are the same but under different names.
does anyone know what this is called or where to find it

Firefox has been acting strangely of late. Among other things, It will spontaneously open up tabs to a variety of commercial sites and redirect me to similar sites when I try to click on Google search results, instead of leading me to the links I clicked on.
I'm almost positive I have some sort of malware on my system, but I'm afraid to click on any search results for "malware removal" since who knows what those programs could be hosting. Can anyone recommend a good (preferably free) program or other steps to get Firefox to behave the way it should? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.242.15.205 ( talk) 18:23, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
