![]() ![]() Of course, no resampling is also viable option.įreyPlayer makes use of the SoX Resampler Library (libsoxr) - Copyright (c) 2007-13, This is high quality, one-dimensional sample-rate conversion library. Out of band changes to the sample rate in the configured output unit, such as is possible with the OS X Audio Midi Setup application, are detected and represented accurately in the FreyPlayer UI. Of course, only sample rates supported by the output unit are used, irrespective of the target user sample rate preference. FreyPlayer also dynamically sets the target sample rate in the output unit configured and in use at the time the material is played. In addition, sample rate targets can be specified as player preferences. Real time resampling of the source material is provided as an option in the player. I may change my mind on this, but for now I have not introduced DSD support. You will notice that I have not yet introduced support for DSD. Decoding of FLAC source material is accomplished with the use of the open source FLAC library (libFlac) - Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Josh Coalson, 2011-2014 Xiph.Org Foundation. I am a big fan of the emerging HD media download sites, such as (and the now defunct Pono store), which delivers FLAC as a preferred distribution. In addition to Linear PCM, FLAC was a must since is has become such a popular format for distribution. I then realized the utility of supporting a limited number of compressed audio formats as well, namely Apple’s AAC and standard MP3. Audio FormatsĪt first, I was tempted to be a high definition snob and support only lossless formats. This player is intended to work in conjunction with complimentary applications and tools such as the ID3 Editor, X Lossless Decoder (XLD), studio grade pluggable audio units, good old Google Search, and other tools that are best of breed in what they do. The player is built to deliver digital samples to a high quality DAC as directly as possible so that it can do its magic. Neither does the player, on its own, provide complex digital signal processing features. It is not a file system, or an ID3 Tag editor, a general purpose Codec transform, or a CD ripper. FreyPlayer is a high fidelity digital music player. ![]() One of the advantages of software-based systems is the ability to make flexible use of components that are specialized for the job they do. Bloated software can become convoluted and heavy, resulting in complexity, usability problems, and poor performance. I wanted to build a great player with a minimalist approach, with useful capabilities that are found to be in the right place, rather than one that had every conceivable feature, bell and whistle. ![]()
