I found something strange while using foobar2000. [+ vgmstream Component]
When playing back the 'Nintendo DSP 4-bit ADPCM' file that was previously in the playlist, Codec: Lossless is displayed in the Properties window.
However, in the newly added file, Codec: Lossy appears in the Properties window. Is it a bug?

I think foobar caches info properties, so old files may retain "lossless" for a while, don't worry.
(food for thought: wav/PCM16/flac files can be "lossy").
Now I do not have to worry! Thank you! [TRANSLATE INTENSIFIES]
- Fix ATRAC9 regression
- Fix wve/adm missing samples in last block
- Fix missing .rpgmvo/ovb extension
- Fix some .stx
- Fix some Ubi LyN
- Fix mono .mcadpcm
- Fix EA SWVR .stream (MGAV) [Freekstyle (PS2/GC), NASCAR Rumble (PS)]
- Add .eno Ogg [Metronomicon (PC)]
- Add .smc+smh [Wangan Midnight (System 246)]
- Add artificial format TXTP (.txtp)
***
TXTP is the latest gimmick I just made up. It's mini-playlist file for various purposes:
- Play separate intro + loop together as a single track
"bgm01.txtp"
#Ratchet & Clank (PS2)
BGM01_BEGIN.VAG
BGM01_LOOPED.VAG
# multi-files must define loops
loop_start_segment = 2 # 2nd file start
loop_end_segment = 2 # optional, default is last
#channel number must be equal, mixing sample rates is ok (uses first)
- Minifiles for formats without splitters (like good ol' .minipsf)
"bgm_12.txtp"
#Super Robot Taisen OG Saga - Masou Kishin III - Pride of Justice (Vita)
bigfiles/bgm.sxd2#12 #relative paths are ok too
# single files loop normally by default
# if defined it forces a full loop (0..num_samples)
#loop_start_segment = 1
- Play segmented subsongs as one
"song_01.txtp"
#Prince of Persia Sands of Time
# ranges with ~ to avoid so much C&P
amb_fx.sb0#254
amb_fx.sb0#122~144
amb_fx.sb0#121 #notice "#" works as config or comment
loop_start_segment = 3 #3rd segment = subsong 123, not 3rd subsong
- Channel mask for channel subsongs/layers
"music_Home_01.ps3.txtp"
#Final Fantasy XIII-2
#plays channels 1 and 2 = 1st subsong
music_Home.ps3.scd#c1,2
"music_Home_02.ps3.txtp"
#plays channels 3 and 4 = 2nd subsong
music_Home.ps3.scd#c3,4
# still 4 channels, just mutes some
- To simplify, if the .txtp is empty (0 bytes) its filename is used directly:
"bgm.sxd2#12.txtp"
"Okami - Ryoshima Coast 1 & 2.aix#c1,2.txtp"
Thanks
I found out there was an update a few days ago and that's when I started getting trouble. I think the root of the problem lies within foo_input_vgmstream.dll itself.
Can you please check if there's really an issue here or it is something on my end? Oh and I've just tried out even newer version, today's release, and the bug (?) persists.
@Bnnm - yesterday I've finally unpacked all the SNDs with your BMS and surely there's quite an abundance of super-small streams (?!) which don't even add to playlist (typically 208 Bytes or less). They're not what I'm actually worried about, I can believe that devs might use thousands of placeholders & such but there's also a dozen or two of bigger files which might be SFX & even short BGM pieces (from 64 KB to 2 MB) and they seemingly can't be processed using .snd.txth too. Can it be snd.bms that's acting up, TXTH that can't be used with select split SNDs or another source of troubles entirely?
Well if your snd.bms is complete & final (plus there's currently no way to implement filenames from any SoundDB.gamedb file) then I guess I can always try asking @XeNTaX, I can wait a bit for any better solution to use for initial extraction.
Later!
that is exactly what i wanted. thank you bnnm for this amazing update, and i mean it.

in any case, i have some samples to post here.
IECS_samples.7z
SSxx_samples.7z
that's right, PS2 sound banks. hopefully they get to be supported on vgmstream someday...

^ Is technically impossible in Windows, due to the comma in the filename.
