mp2 & MUSICAM

[netsrohT]

Hello,
I don't know whether this is the right place...

There is a simple (and I think quite handy) possibility to let mixxx play mp2 and MUSICAM-files:

In /src/soundsourcemp3.cpp you see the function

QList<QString> SoundSourceMp3::supportedFileExtensions()
{
QList<QString> list;
list.push_back("mp3");
return list;
}

Simply add

list.push_back("mp2");
list.push_back("mus");

so it reads:
QList<QString> SoundSourceMp3::supportedFileExtensions()
{
QList<QString> list;
list.push_back("mp3");
list.push_back("mp2");
list.push_back("mus");

return list;
}

and do build.

After that, .mp2 and .mus-files will be scanned for library and will be displayed in your browser.


Best regards
Thorsten

But do those files play correctly? Does taglib read those file types?

[netsrohT]

YES, they play correctly - MAD does this job since many years ago.
However, there is no ID-Tag for taglib toread/write.
BTW, most mpeg-players (mpg123, mpg321, mplayer etc.) play these professional formats.

Ok cool, good to know. Mind filing a wishlist bug and we can throw this into 1.10?

[netsrohT]

Oh, yes. That code in 1.10 would be cool!
