[Bug 912871] [NEW] Converting FLAC to OGGVorbis is poor

 

Public bug reported:

I have configured my Android phone as an external device to Banshee to
encode as OGG Vorbis quality 3. My music library is stored as FLAC on a
remote NFS server. When I drag a file from the library to the phone,
Banshee converts the FLAC to OGG Vorbis and adds it to the phone but the
resulting file has errors resulting in clicks and mutes. I have done the
same process manually using the command:

flac -d -c source_file_name.flac | oggenc q3
-oPathToPhoneSDCard/filename.ogg -

and the result is a good OGG Vorbis file so the mechanism for creating
the file on the phone from the nfs share works okay.

I am using Banshee 2.2.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 with flac 1.2.1 and oggenc from
vorbis-tools 1.4.0.

This issue means I can not use Banshee to synchronise my phone's audio
from my master library.
