Authenticity Guarantee
Buying fragrances can be intimidating. We're on a mission to demystify scents. We show you how to pick, wear, and love them.
Why order from us?
1. We guarantee our fragrances to be authentic: "How can I be sure that you're selling authentic products at such a good discount?" is a question we hear a lot.
First of all, to sell on Shopify (the biggest ecommerce platform in the world and where our website is hosted) we had to provide detailed certification from our distributors that our name-brand products are in-fact, name-brand. (We passed, as you can see).
Secondly, we're a small team and scrappy. We do most of our publicity, marketing and advertising through blogger partnerships rather than needing a dedicated budget for that. That means a lower price for you!
Thirdly, we're a start-up and know that in order to compete with the big players in such a tight market, we have to provide top-customer service for a fraction of the cost (see #4!).
Lastly, we want to cultivate long-term relationships. This is why we have offers like the samplers and minis to encourage people new to fragrances to explore or Refer-a-Friend discounts to encourage perfume lovers to share with their friends.
Selling sub-par counterfeit products might be a way to make a quick buck but goes against the very ethos of what we're hoping to achieve.
2. We curate our fragrance catalog: We carry only fragrances we love and can stand behind. That means we might not have everything or carry every new celebrity launch, but we're pretty excited about what we do offer.
3. We believe in the power of fragrance: We don't want to just sell perfume. We want to cultivate a deeper understanding and awareness of the power of scent. This is why we offer services such as Fragrance Finder to help people navigate the world of fragrances with confidence.
4. We believe in customer service: Have questions? We're happy to answer them! Wanted to go out on a limb and try a new fragrance but hate it? We'll make it right.

Cozy up your home with design, texture and color! Our artisan-made eco-friendly wool coasters protect your table and countertops from hot or cold beverages while looking beautiful, naturally. Handcrafted by women artisans in Nepal.
The Art of Felting:
The first step to creating these beautiful felt pieces begins with gathering some of the world's finest sheep's wool from New Zealand. Making felted wool is an ages-old, time-consuming process of bonding fabric with fiber. This is a physical job where the artisan's scrub, rub, roll and rinse the wool again and again with soapy water.
Once the wool is bound into a sheet and the desired thickness is complete, the felt is laid out to dry. From there, the felt wool is cut and re-worked into many complex shapes and designs. The many sheets of wool might merge several colors to create patterns and layers. This takes a well-trained, talented artisan and is a true labor of love. The end results are colorful, one-of-a-kind textiles that are stunning to behold.

- Please keep these annotations SPOILER-FREE by not revealing information from later pages in the novel.
"Inherent Vice" has a number of meanings. See Inherent Vice Title. The phrase appears on pg. 351.
The cover illustration is by Maui artist Darshan Zenith (see his Official site). The piece is called "Eternal Summer," and subtitled, "A 'Retired' Caddy Hearse Greets Daybreak at a Beach Surf Shop." Prints of the painting can be purchased here. The 1959 Cadillac Hearse is parked in front of the "Endless Summer Surf Shop" (namechecking the Beach Boys Greatest Hits collection and Bruce Brown's 1966 surfing documentary!).

Book jacket description
Pynchon himself wrote the copy to the book jacket description of Against the Day (text here). It is possible that Pynchon did the same for Inherent Vice.
Under the paving-stones, the beach!
"Sous les pavés, la plage" - slogan dating from the 1968 Paris student riots. Wikipedia Literally, it refers to the paving stones thrown at the police and to the discovery made by the rioting students, after prying up the stones, that there was sand underneath. Figuratively, it uses the metaphor of a beach to allude to the ideal life to be found beneath the confines of society.
For those interested in such things, here is an odd and fairly lengthy online discussion about the phrase and its translation which, if nothing else, gives a flavor for how translations can go awry when people start trying to translate metaphors instead of words.
Like Against the Day, Inherent Vice has no dedication. Pynchon dedicated three of his previous novels to friends and family: Mason & Dixon ("For Melanie, and for Jackson"), Vineland ("For my mother and father"), and Gravity's Rainbow ("For Richard Fariña").
Page 1
Country Joe & the Fish T-shirt
A Berkeley-based rock band most widely known for musical protests against the Vietnam War, from 1966 to 1971
Tonight she was all in flatland gear,
Night, Tuesday, March 24, 1970, first day of the narrative. It's a lot harder to assign real-world dates to the first half of the narrative than to the second half. It could be some kind of "parallel time" (see p. 128). Many events in the first half of the book do seem to echo events in the second half.
Shasta is a soft drink brand that reached the peak of its popularity in the 1980s. Wikipedia. Note that Pynchon has named characters after soda before, e.g. Wicks Cherrycoke in Mason & Dixon.
However, more to the point, "Shasta" is name-connected to Mt. Shasta, long believed by some to be where the Lemurians came after Lemuria sunk into the sea. They also believe in the presence of Bigfoot here, as well as wolfmen. See Mt. Shasta and the Lemurian Connection. Pynchon is likely familiar with this mythology. Vineland, set in pot country of Northern California, alludes to Yurok myth, and his other works draw on mythology from many traditions.
"Shasta McNasty" was also the name of a fictional band, the subject of a short-lived UPN sitcom. The members of the band were three slackers who lived in Venice Beach.
They stood in the street light through the kitchen window there'd never been much point in putting curtains over and listened to the thumping of the surf from down the hill. Some nights, when the wind was right, you could hear the surf all over town.
Like Vineland, and Gravity's Rainbow, here a Pynchon book begins with light coming through a window. Also like Vineland, the sentence structure and rhythm is just slightly jarring - that '...in the street light through the kitchen window...' seeming to echo Vineland: "Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof." In both cases, it's just a little odd that Pynchon doesn't refer to the light 'that shone' through the window. And that creeping fig makes an appearance on page 33 of Inherent Vice.

makeup supposed to look like no makeup or whatever,...
The "natural look" was popular during the 1970s. Ads told woman that makeup was invisible, "the makeup that is and isn't." Another ad sez "It looks so convincing you'd swear it isn't makeup." (See: Disco divas: women and popular culture in the 1970s By Sherrie A. Inness, page 21)

Hancock Park
Just south of Hollywood, and one of the most desirable locations in Los Angeles. Hancock Park was developed by the Hancock family and is named after developer-philanthropist G. Allan Hancock, with profits earned from oil drilling in the former Rancho La Brea, home of the famous tar pits. Wikipedia
"Can't Buy Me Love"
This well-known Beatles hit has a curious connection with two other Beatles tunes touched on in The Crying of Lot 49. "She Loves You" is cited outright and there is the parody title "I Want to Kiss Your Feet" in reference to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by Sick Dick and the Volkswagens (Volkswagens are commonly referred to as Beetles). The German language versions of "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" were recorded at the same session as "Can't Buy Me Love." Wikipedia entry for "Can't Buy Me Love"
An "Afro" pick, aka a comb for the Afro hairstyle; this doesn't necessarily mean Doc has an Afro, only that he borrowed one "for protection" as they generally had fairly sharp metal tines.

Gordita Beach
This fictional Los Angeles beach town where Doc lives and works is, according to the article "Thomas Pynchon and the South Bay" Pynchon's fictionalized Manhattan Beach where he lived in 1967-1971—/CW/ at 217 33rd Street—while working on Gravity's Rainbow And in Vineland, Gordita Beach is where Zoyd Wheeler lived "shortly after Reagan was elected governor of California" (on Jan 3, 1967):
- Zoyd was living down south then, sharing a house in Gordita Beach with elements of a surf band he'd been playing keyboard in since junior high, the Corvairs, along with friends more and less transient. The house was so old that all of its termite clauses and code violations had been waived, on the theory that the next moderate act of nature would finish it off. But having been put up back during an era of overdesign, it proved to be sturdier than it looked, with its old stucco eaten at to reveal generations of paint jobs in different beach town pastels, corroded by salt and petrochemical fogs that flowed in the summers onshore up the sand slopes, on up past Sepulveda, often across the then undeveloped fields, to wrap the San Diego Freeway too. (p. 22)
- Pynchon owned a '65 Corvair. the car was so light that one he did a wheelie on the freeway for which the cure was putting a 50 pound bag of cement in the truck which was in the front of this rear wheel drive car-CW?
The Corvairs surf band figures in Inherent Vice, as well.
- MAD Magazine-style substitution pun in the name, Gordita Beach: from the Manhattan, an open-faced hot sandwich made with meat and gravy (although there are several different "Manhattan" sandwiches [1][2]), to the Gordita, a thick tortilla stuffed with meat stew.
Tree Section
Section of Manhattan Beach west of Sepulveda Blvd, filled with family homes. Generally more upscale than Doc's neighborhood. The moniker comes from the streets all being named for trees.
Page 7
2001: A Space Odyssey
This 1968 film by Stanley Kubrick is also mentioned in chapter 14 of Vineland. It includes a computer named HAL that gains consciousness and kills the ship's crew members. Talking computers also show up on pg. 115 of Vineland.
Page 8
Channel View Estates
The Channel Islands are a chain of islands off the coast of southern California.
The name is perhaps intended as a telling contrast with "River View" (or "Riverview"), a common name for neighborhoods, real-estate developments and towns. Wolfmann's development is a "chipboard horror" - basic tract housing for the newly middle-class - and it has no river to view, only a drainage channel. "Ditch View Estates" might have been more pointed, if less believable.
Possibly a reference to "channels" on a television set with countless "viewers" looking at the tube in the Los Angeles city sprawl of future single-family homes.
Page 9
Flying Nun, The
The Flying Nun (ABC sitcom '67-'70) starred Sally Field (who also played surf bunny Gidget in an earlier sitcom) as a young nun with a talent for catching the wind like a wave. Despite the reference to Bigfoot playing "comical Mexicans," the series actually took place in Puerto Rico. Wikipedia
An anagram for Zoyd, one of the main characters in Vineland. Also Zody's, a chain of discount stores Wikipedia.
Cal Worthington
If Used-Car dealer Cal Worthington didn't exist, someone would have to invent him. Famous for his TV ads throughout California and his dog "Spot" [usually an exotic animal] the many parodies of Cal never exceed his own bizarre ads. YouTube
Freak Power
Hunter S. Thompson ran unsuccessfully for mayor and sheriff of Aspen, Colorado in 1969 and 1970. Wikipedia Unsure if "freak power" was a term Thompson coined?
Page 10
Pynchon apparently wrote a letter to his editor, Cork Smith, in the 1960s saying that he was working on two books: one on Mason & Dixon, and one loosely inspired by Godzilla. See Crying of Lot 49 Chapter 3] & Vineland, page 142. It was recounted by Pynchon to his friends that to continue to collect royalties he had to come up with the sentence from his next book. The sentence was something like "Hiro stood in the wreckage of what was once downtown Tokyo and as he looked down at the giant footprint he explained to the insurance adjusters in his Japanese accent 'clearly reptilian.'" [This anecdote is spurious at best. Is there a source for this? Any evidence?]
Gottlieb machines
Gottlieb is a corporation that makes pinball machines and arcade games.
Sidney Gottlieb headed the CIA's MK-Ultra project, way back in 1953. Wikipedia
Page 11
Sad but true, as Dion always sez.
"Runaround Sue" ("Here's my story, it's sad but true...") was a 1961 hit for Dion DiMucci (b. 1939). Dion only sez it once, but then again he "said" it everytime the song was played. Have a listen on YouTube...
Playa Vista High
Mira Costa High is the high school in Manhattan Beach ("Gordita Beach" in Inherent Vice).
Denis came back with his Pizza.
Pynchon had a passion for pizza and had proposed making a film with the FPS group of San Francisco entitled "Mondo Pizza".
This happened at the Pipeline every Tuesday
Night, Tuesday, March 24, 1970, first day of the narrative. This establishes this day as Tuesday.
skip tracer
Someone who "traces" the location of people who have "skipped" town. Wikipedia entry...
The act of divining the future by casting lots, also Sorcery; witchcraft. Middle English, derived from old French via Medieval Latin sortilegium, from sortilegus, diviner : Latin sors, sort-, lot + Latin legere, to read. see Answers.com.
Page 12
wasn't that they were fucking, exactly, but it was something like that.
This sentence structure is a Pynchon trademark found throughout his works: "not X, exactly, but Y..." For instance, Gravity's Rainbow, pg 137: "...you begin to wait for something terrible not exactly an air raid but something close to that."; Gravity's Rainbow, pg 580: "Not as an enterprise, exactly, but at least in the dance of things."
though, when Doc finally woke up
Morning, Wednesday, March 25, 1970, second day of the narrative.
He stumbled up the hill to Wavos and had breakfast with the hard-core surfers who were always there.
Huevos [pronounced, in Southern Californian American English, Wave-ohs] Rancheros: fried eggs served on corn tortillas with salsa, a popular dish with surfers, dopers, and other beach people in the sixties and seventies.
Page 13
dinged-up El Camino, the one with the 396
A 396 is an engine with a displacement of 396 cubic inches (6.49 liters). This is a large V8 engine in a lightweight coupé utility vehicle.
Tomorrow is another day
For those who don't mind spoilers, see later annotation.
Frederick's of Hollywood
Famous retailer of lingerie, started by Frederick Mellinger (inventor of the push-up bra) in 1946. The original flagship store was a landmark on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. Wikipedia
Page 14
a rendering of a giant bloodshot eyeball
The logo for LSD Investigations might be a parody of the logo for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, a famous and long-running agency started in the nineteenth century. Their logo is an eyeball with the phrase "We Never Sleep." See it here. This agency's activities play an important role in Pynchon's previous novel, Against the Day.
Famed Poster artist and surfer dude Rick Griffin also made a finely detailed rendering of a bloodshot, flying eyeball in this famous poster for a Jimi Hendrix concert at the Fillmore in 1968.
There also may be an allusion here to the most famous "giant eyeball" in 20th-century American literature, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. The eye-doctor Dr. T. J. Eckleburg's giant billboard ad for his practice features a pair of eyes and glasses looking over a wasteland near a highway on the way to New York City. In FSF's words, "his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground."
psychedelic favorites green & magenta
A Pynchon leitmotif, the color combo of the faux-neon font of Inherent Vice's cover, also cited in Gravity's Rainbow & Vineland.
karmic adjustment
Karmic imbalance is an important theme in Vineland. See pg. 173, for example.
Sledge Poteet
Sledge Poteet was a member of the film collective 24fps from Vineland. He shared, along with ninjette DL Chastain, "a fondness for enlightenment through asskicking."
Page 15
Olivetti Lettera 22
A portable typewriter. See it here. Various sources, including Jules Siegel, note that Pynchon used an Olivetti Portable Typewriter.
Page 16
Black Guerrilla Family . . . George Jackson's outfit
The Black Guerrilla Family was a prison gang founded in the mid-1960's by George Jackson in San Quentin prison.
Artesia Crips
This is a potential anachronism. The novel ostensibly takes place in 1970, since it is after Charles Manson's arrest in December 1969 but before the trial began in mid-1970. However, many reports indicate the L.A. street gang that would eventually be called the Crips was not founded by Raymond Washington and Tookie Williams until 1971, and it was originally called the Baby Avenues, then the Cribs, and finally Crips.
Page 17
Watts . . . the riots
In 1965, there was a widespread and brutal riot in the streets of Watts, CA. It lasted almost a week and resulted in several deaths and hundreds of injuries. Read more here. Pynchon wrote on the subject in his 1966 essay for the New York Times A Journey Into The Mind of Watts

Talk:MIME Types and File Extensions
I came upon this page looking for a speex encoder but, loosely following your arguments, you guys seem to be arguing about how ogg files should be identified. My advice is to copy what they do with XML.
audio/ogg -should be used for audio ogg files generally. audio/vorbis+ogg should be used for vorbis files in an ogg container. audio/speex+ogg should be used for speex files in an ogg container.
If you put video files in ogg, use:
If you use ogg for non-media files use:
And and so on. As for people associating ogg files with vorbis, that is not surprising given that Vorbis was the only show in town for awhile. But because codecs likes speex are not widely supported yet it is important for people to be able to differenciate between different types of ogg files. Therefore I would use a double exension, like "*.spx.ogg" to identify speex files, and "*.vrbs.ogg" to identify vorbis files. --Logomachist 19:21, 1 April 2008 (PDT)
.flac - application/flac
Why not audio/flac?
Presumedly to distinguish it from "unencapsulated" flac. I'm not sure this makes sense though. Native flac is a fairly light container, and I suspect the current application/x-flac usage is just an analogy with ogg. OTOH, I don't think anyone's done flac over rtp, where this would be needed, but that is something that's interesting.
- Edit: I have changed my opinion in this subject. Regardless, Josh agrees with audio/flac in case someone is willing to register it. application/flac was never registered.--Ivo 14:57, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
- In a way application/flac to describe a stream which uses FLAC encapsulation is the same as using application/ogg to describe a stream using Ogg encapsulation. I don't really know if this is academic thinking and it's more developer-facing than end-user-facing. The question is what is going to be most consistent (and therefore make sense to someone trying to work it out). Since FLAC in Ogg is natively FLAC encapsulated it may make sense to use the same mime-type for native FLAC as the codec mime type to be used for FLAC in Ogg. Imalone 07:26, 28 June 2007 (PDT)
.spx - audio/ogg
Why not audio/spx? To distinguish it from ogg vorbis.
- audio/speex is only used for Speex RTP or in any other case of "Oggless" Speex. Speex in Ogg, which is a common sight, is audio/ogg just like every other audio-only Ogg file, be it Vorbis, FLAC, Ghost/CELT, MIDI, and even OggPCM.--Ivo 07:01, 26 January 2008 (PST)
- Then we still need it for RTP and in native container seems to me.
- Because of the RTP vorbis and speex should have a unique MIME type right?
- And also for native container for making correct differences.
- (One of the greatest mistakes of computer programming is identifying two different things as the same.)
- Because you're goanna have to register it, best use it as well.
".ogg" should be "application/ogg"
I can't accept that ".ogg" becomes Vorbis I only extension. Ogg is not a codec. It is the container of codecs. That change will be missleading people.
".ogg" has been defined as "application/ogg" and already used as Theora+Vorbis. Redefining ".ogg" as Vorbis I only extension and changing MIME type to "audio/ogg" is not backward-compatible. Changing spec should be more carefully. If possible, should not change fixed spec. (I know becoming RFC does not mean fixed spec. But it is treated as fixed spec) --話切徒 07:31, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
- We understand your concern, but application/ogg isn't about audio, and people out there have wrongly associated .ogg with Vorbis only, making it harder for other codecs like Theora to succeed because of the file extension. They do not understand that Ogg is a container; they think Ogg is Vorbis. Although this proposal is somewhat radical and some people aren't 100% happy with it, it's for the best. video/ogg and audio/ogg will also be much useful now with the <video> and <audio> elements of HTML 5.--Ivo 08:04, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
- ".ogv" and ".oga" may be useful. I can accept this. But changing the definition of ".ogg" is really needed? I can't find the necessity of this. It breaks backward-compatibility. No one will be happy with this change... --話切徒 13:56, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
- We are not breaking backwards-comaptibility. That's why Vorbis and Speex will be allowed to use .ogg and .spx instead of .oga. The only thing that may break backwards-compatibility is deprecating application/ogg in favor od video/ogg and audio/ogg. That and Theora files, but since there are no Theora hardware players that we know of, existing Theora files may be renamed to .ogv easily, making compatibility with previous files a non-issue. Backwards-compatibility was seriously considered during the creation of this proposal. We are not breaking it.--Ivo 14:53, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
- Ummmmm..... I think ".ogg" re-definition is not necessary. My best resolution is simply adding the new ext definitions to RFC:
- ".ogg" is application/ogg (as RFC3534)
- define new ext and MIME : ".ogx", ".oga", ".ogv", etc...
- Use of new extensions is recommended.
- Official tools are using new ext (except .ogg for Vorbis I?)
- Changing of ".ogg"'s MIME type is really necessary? --話切徒 16:35, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
- Ummmmm..... I think ".ogg" re-definition is not necessary. My best resolution is simply adding the new ext definitions to RFC:
- Want also to see more consistent behaviour like changing name of vorbis into something like n/m/l/w-orbis.
- And mime type is then audio/ n/m/l/w-orbis
- ogx is a very good way to overcome problems but be sure to let it have an internal version number for making changes later
- Because of RTP and native containers codecs better have unique MIME-types, always:
- Changes: vorbis: still .vorbis would be better(change name to something that doesn't starts with a v, nor, xor or g)
- This solves the problem with backwards compatability because .ogg isn't used.
- MIME: audio/ogg => audio/vorbis, speex: MIME: audio/ogg => audio/speex
- (audio/ogg with everything on it is being used for .oga and that
- stands for ogg audio is very consistent and easy to see)
- It has to be registered anyway for RTP !!!!
- (It wouldn't be such a big assigment now to do that, but over a year or two,
- you can't go back anymore because of compatability!!!)
- And people think that vorbis is a video format because it starts with a v.
- So they look around if their player supports vorbis video but they find out only audio is supported.
- Mad about getting wrong information and quit ogg for an alternative mostly.
- Please change the name or create a new format that is essentially vorbis with another name.
- (And also add new metadata formats in to have a reason for people to update.)
text/cmml for CMML without container: the Codec mime types are to be used in Skeleton, can this mime type be applied to the CMML Ogg mapping? (It's not plain text in the way that Vorbis mapped into Ogg is exactly audio/vorbis.)
.oga - able to rip cd's with all of it's contents also metadata like picture of the album (also separate pictures for each song)? Yes? This is fantastic
Can multiple audio streams/files be packed to one oga? (I mean that there are seperatable flac/speex/vorbis files that can be played separately). If this is the case then oga is a very good candidate for ripping a cd with all of it's contents and metadata without loss.
On a cd there is usually a picture. If you rip the cd to one of Xiph.org's free formats, it's lost because nothing supports this. Mayby oga could support this with some extra metadata and pictures in jpeg: a picture for the .oga and a picture for each number via metadata-system or something like that. This way someone can easily rip cd's and keep them in a consistent way on his or her computer. (One oga per cd, with the same picture as one the cd box, with all the numbers of one cd in oga file that can be played separatelly)
- Yes, Ogg can carry multiple streams of audio, so you could backup an entire album in Ogg as FLAC or Vorbis and use the .oga extension. In this case alone, it is recommended to use .oga instead of .ogg because .ogg is for a single Vorbis stream file, while .oga requires a Skeleton stream which helps players recognize all the different songs in the file. Confused? One song, .ogg. Multiple songs in one file, .oga. Just make sure that the .oga file has a Skeleton stream. You can verify that with the ogginfo command line tool. And yes, you can also add a JPEG or PNG inside Ogg. I just don't know of any program that supports it, but theoretically it is possible. Just a heads up again, a song and an image are two streams of data, not just one, so again it would use .oga instead of .ogg. This also prevents breaking existing players that don't support embeded images.--Ivo 08:48, 25 January 2008 (PST)
- This sounds great and about streams of audio:
Can I think of those streams also as separate audio files inside a multistream file? Because flac for example can also do up to eight streams.
Have also a few other questions: - Is it possible to have an oga with an album in with a mix of songs in flac, vorbis and speexs? - Is it possible in oga to have a different picture for each song, stream ? (For when people make their own albums out of different albums and they want the picture of that album for each song.)
- Again, yes. Theoretically, there is no limitation in what you can put in Ogg and the order you want it in, but while the format has no such limitations, this is not the case with the software out there. So, the short answer is, for the general public it will look as if Ogg cannot do that which you ask even though it can.--Ivo 06:58, 26 January 2008 (PST)
- Fantastic, please make sure this is included into the libraries of Xiph.org since applications can easily include them.
- To the extent that is possible, the libraries already support embeding of pictures in Ogg. The problem is the programs out there. If you care about this issue and you are either a developer or have money to hire one, you should patch free software programs like VLC to support it. Then hopefully the non-free programs like foobar2000 will follow the lead.--Ivo 12:48, 2 February 2008 (PST)
- When is there going to be support for lyrics for audiofiles and in what form (what file extensions will be able to have it and what metadata standards will be able to do it) ?
- It is currently no way to save those.
- Support in third party player software ? Lyrics for audio files are a lot like movie subtitles - text mapped to a time interval (unless you mean lyrics without the timing, in which case you could store them in Vorbis comments).
- For timed lyrics, CMML and Kate can store this in a muxed stream, with the caveat that many Vorbis-only players will choke on a muxed stream.
- You still need a way to display those in a player, however, but this is a question for the programmers for whatever player you're using
- Hoped for player (or specification) that is able to show text mapped to a time interval without the timing.
- Or else the text have to stand in the file two times. One time for mapping and another time for serving as meta data.
- If you want it without the timing, you have to store it in headers, as streaming it will get you the text only as its presentation
- time is reached. You could do that if you were loading from a file, but that's only a special case, so it's best to leave that text
- interleaved with other streams. A player wanting to display the entirety of the lyrics at once would have to, if possible (eg, if not
- streaming), scan the entire file to recover the text. Parsing Ogg packets is relatively fast, so a threaded player could do this while
- starting streaming a file and have the text ready in under a second for a typical song I suppose. Still, this is player specific code
- using whatever codec's library. For instance, if the lyrics are stored as a Kate stream, you could do something like:
- char lyrics[4096]; /* you'll want to dynamically allocate this as you read text */
- kate_high_decode_init(&k);
- while (1) {
- if (get_packet(&oy,&os,&init,&op)) break;
- kate_packet_wrap(&kp,op.bytes,op.packet);
- if (kate_high_decode_packetin(&k,&kp,&ev)>0) break;
- if (ev) { strcat(lyrics, ev->text); strcat(lyrics, "\n"); }
- }
- kate_high_decode_clear(&k);
- As you see, it's very little code once you have the Ogg stream ready for sync, but this has to be done by each player
- as the get_packet thing will be piggybacking on that player's Ogg read routines.
Ar Dubya, Reno, NV here -- Firefox does about everything but digest one's food, how about a Firefox extension that takes a jam-packed (pun) .oga file full of timed lyrics, pix, and eight-track FLACs created from DTS-HD Master Audio source material, and renders the whole shebang seamlessly? I'm not a developer and don't feel a particularly strong urge to become one to provide non-audio data in the ogg container. As it is, the .oga file can carry my surround sound studio master quality FLACs and render them on-the-fly in my buddy's VLC player on his PC 12,000 miles away. Frankly, I'd like to see more emphasis on perfecting audio technology as opposed to all this other (non-audio) nonsense. By analogy, I'm reminded of a fellow who travels frequently by air, and his pointing out to a companion on a flight, that if you want good food, go to a restaurant. Don't expect a five-course gourmet meal on a plane. That wasn't why it was built.
For an example of ogg's doing what she does best, check out my son's Metal band, Blasphemous Creation on the Internet Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/b.c.2008-03-09.flac.studio.demo
