General questions

Q: What's going on with the unide and ani versions, which one is better?

Unide is a unified character encoding method. Unide version of the program can only run on new Wind such as nt/2000/p/2003, which can solve the display problems in different languages. Since unide has high performance on these systems, it is also very helpful when dealing with large amounts of lists.

When Qianqian Jingting internally processes strings (such as when processing tags or lists), the system default 16-bit unide is used extensively (even the ani version is the same, it is only converted to ani when displayed), which can maximize the processing performance.

Q: I am a traditional Chinese p user, can I use Qianqian Jingting?

Yes. Qianqian Jingting already supports unide and can be used under non-simplified Chinese Wind2000/p. Qianqian Jingting interface will not show garbled code, but some p3 files that only contain id3v1 tags may show garbled code. You can try to use the inner code conversion function in "File Information" to find the correct inner code.

Qianqian Jingting also provides labels and lyrics conversions between traditional and simplified Chinese.

Q: When installing a new version, do you need to delete the previous version first?

No, just overwrite the installation directly. Qianqian Jingting can be compatible with previous parameter settings, but some functions may change due to upgrades, and most settings will continue to be effective.

Q: Why is there no fading effect on my computer?

Fade-in and fade-out windows and translucent window effects require a Wind2000 or above operating system to support them.

Q: What should I do if my window accidentally drags outside the screen?

Right-click the main menu in the system bar of Wind (the system time in the lower right corner of the screen), and select "Rearrange" under "View Window". This is effective for both normal and mini modes.

Q: I want to use Qianqian to open the file format supported by Qianqian by default. How is the most convenient?

The last page of Qianqian Options "System Association" can be marked on a certain format or a certain type of format you want to associate, and specify a file type icon for this or this type of format. Considering that different users have different preferences, Qianqian only provides icon customization functions without providing any many default icons.

Question: Why does Qianqian Jingting not support winm skin?

Due to the different functions of the player, the design and implementation of the skin are also different. Many skin elements required by Qianqian Jingting are not in Winm's skin. For example, Qianqian Jingting needs a lyrics show window, but Winm itself does not have the skin for this window. There are many netizens on the forum that have transformed the skin from Inm. If you are interested, you might as well take a look.

Music window problem

1. Why does my Qianqian Jingting have no music window?

You can check the Qianqian Jingting version you are using. Only the music window function is available on the 5.2be and above version.

Also, maybe because the skin you are using does not have the music window button element, you don't know how to turn on the music window function. You can use the shortcut key f11 to open the music window.

2. Can I not install the music window?

Of course, if you are not very interested in listening to songs online, you can also choose not to install the music window control when installing Qianqian Jingting. You just need to check the default of the music window component during the installation process!

3. What should I do if I find any errors in the songs in the music window?

If you find an error in the online song provided by the music window, you can feedback it to us through the error correction function. We will solve the error problem of the song as soon as possible to ensure the accuracy of listening to the song online.

The specific operation steps are as follows:

Find the error song, click the more buttons behind the song, and select the "Error Correction" function. You can select the error type of the song in the floating layer page that pops up.

Playback issues

Q: Why is CD playback not supported under win98?

Win98 does not have the driver required for digital CD reading. You can download this common driver on the homepage, and the address is: /i32.ee

Q: Why can't I turn to other formats when I'm playing CD?

Because accessing cd digitally under Wind is exclusive, only one can access cd at the same time. If you want to switch pressure, please stop playing first.

Q: Does Qianqian have a function that can automatically query CD information online?

Versions after 4.3 provide the function of freedb to query cd information online, but non-authentic cds are likely to not be found :).

Q: Why can't the wa files I made with Windediplyer be played?

Windediplyer enables the "digital copyright protection" mechanism by default when making wa files. To support such files, it must be officially supported by Microsoft. Considering that the procedures are troublesome, it has not yet been supported. Therefore, please try not to use digital copyright protection when making wa files.

Q: What is the playback gain (auto volume) and how should it be used?

Playback gain information is an optimal gain value detected by scanning and analysis of audio files. If this gain value is used in future playback, the volume of the audio file can be adjusted to the optimal level, thereby reducing or even avoiding the volume difference between different audio files.

This information can be obtained by manual scanning or automatic scanning. Manual scanning means right-clicking certain files on the playlist and obtaining them through "Scan Gain Information", or selecting "Auto Scan" in the "Play" page of Qianqian options. In this way, while playing, files without this information will be automatically scanned (if it already exists, they will not scan again). However, it should be noted that if the playback is interrupted or the user drags the playback progress, the scanning will stop. Only after the complete playback can this information be obtained.

Q: Why do some songs have abnormal volume after I enable playback gain?

The gain information is saved in the file in the form of a file tag. It may be that the gain information has been destroyed by other software, which leads to abnormal volume. At this time, you need to manually rescan it.

Q: What audio output methods does Qianqian support?

Qianqian supports four methods: wveu (waveform output), direund, ernelre (kernel audio stream), and ai, but not every one can support it in different systems and sound card environments, especially ai, which requires the support of the sound card itself. Generally, only higher-end sound cards can support it.

Q: What are the characteristics of these audio output methods?

wveu is the first audio stream output method proposed by Microsoft, so its compatibility is good, almost all sound cards support it;

direund is a combination of Microsoft Dire. Its compatibility is also very good, and it can provide high reliability guarantees when multiple programs need to play audio. This method can better support the fading effect of Qianqian Jingting;

ernelre is an audio streaming method used by Microsoft's underlying layer. It has a lower delay and is used for fields with higher requirements for delay. Because it is more low-level, it is more efficient and is less affected by other programs. If you use it to play, "silence" the waveform in the system volume, you can only hear the music of the player without being affected by the sound of other programs. However, ernelrere also has certain requirements for sound cards and drivers.

ai is a relatively new audio stream input and output interface proposed by einberg. It is generally used in professional occasions where real-time requirements are high, and the requirements for sound cards are higher.

Theoretically, these four methods have no effect on the sound quality of the output, because these methods only transmit the digital signal of the sound to the digital-to-analog converter (d/a) of the sound card without any changes to the information.

Q: Is there any benefit for software like Aai to allow computers that do not support Ai to use Ai?

Software such as aai or aiernel-re-driver are all simulated based on ernelre-re-re, so the effect is not as good as using ernelre-re-re-re-size, and if the equipment is improper, it will also affect normal playback.

Q: Which p3 decoder is Qianqian used?

Qianqian uses the latest version, which is one of the best p3 decoders in the open source code. Both the accuracy and speed are excellent. Qianqian's early version used Ad, but on personal PC, the decoding speed of ad is 70 or even more slower than mg123, and the absolute accuracy is slightly different from mg123, so I later switched to mg123.

Q: Should I set the higher the buffer length during playback, the smoother the playback?

Generally speaking, just set the length of 1000-2000 milliseconds. Too long will only increase resource usage.

Q: Is the higher the output bit during playback, the better?

No, at present, almost all audio sources come from 16-bit CDs, and general sound cards only support 16-bit output, so basically choosing 16-bit can meet most requirements. Qianqian's "original bits" refer to the number of bits of the audio itself. Because when encountering some 24-bit wa, Qianqian will automatically select 24-bit output.

It should be noted that many sound cards that support AI have the best output number of bits to 32 or 24, so selecting the corresponding number of bits can provide the best performance (because there is no need to do additional conversion).

Q: In what situation is the sampling frequency conversion generally used?

For ac’97-specific sound cards (the motherboard comes with basically this type of sound cards), the hardware only supports the sampling frequency of 48000hz, while the CD audio is 44100hz, and most formats such as p3 converted from cd are also 44100hz. In other words, on this type of sound card, before the digital signal is converted into an analog signal, the sampling frequency must be converted once. If the conversion program provided by the driver is not very good (it is said that in order to improve performance, relatively general algorithms are used), you can try to use the software conversion function provided by the player. However, for this type of sound card, the output sound quality itself is not very ideal, so it is not very meaningful to use a better conversion algorithm. Moreover, since software conversion requires CPU to do more things, performance will definitely be affected.

Q: What does high-frequency jitter mean?

Generally, audio codecs use high bits to process 16 bit sound sources. When the output is finally played, the high bits must be reduced to 16 bits for output (because general sound cards only support 16 bits of output), so there will be side effects of quantization, such as converting a true color picture into 256 colors. If the conversion program is not good, large and ugly color blocks will appear, so a jitter technique is generated, which is to use interpolation algorithm to process it with some random noise before conversion to reduce the side effects of quantization.

Generally speaking, if the number of bits in the sound source and output is the same, there is no need to use jitter. And jitter is only a better effect on outputs below 16 bits.

File Tags

Q: What is a file tag and what is its purpose?

File tags refer to the title (song title), artist (singer), etc. of a song file, just like a person's name. With the file tag, you can accurately know the source of the song, and you can accurately find the corresponding lyrics file through this information or online.

Q: How to fill in or edit file tags?

Through Qianqian's "File Properties" dialog box, you can edit the tag information. There are two ways to display this dialog box:

1. When playing a song, select "File Properties" in the "View" window in the main menu on the main window. The file information of the song currently playing is displayed.

2. Select a certain song or some song in the playlist and select "File Properties" in the right-click menu to display the information of the selected file. If you choose multiple songs, you can edit the information of multiple songs at the same time.

Q: What types of tags does Qianqian support?

Qianqian supports almost all known common tag types, such as for p3 files, it supports id3v1/id3v2, ape; for gg files, it supports gg's VR-protected tags; for new file formats such as ape and pc, it also supports Ape tags, and for i-super e's p4/4a format, Qianqian also supports its tag types; it should be noted that the writing of wa tags requires the installation of Microsoft's medi9 or newer version, but reading does not require any additional support; for r files, Qianqian currently only supports the most basic tag fields.

Q: What are the lyrics of Qianqian embedded? Is it related to the label?

The lyrics of Qianqian Embedding are stored in the song file in the form of a tag. The field name is "lyri". The operation of the tag is also effective for the lyrics of the embedded.

Q: How do I display the tag field I want to display in the song title of the playlist?

You can set the "Format when tagged" in the "Playlist" page in Qianqian Options. Just use a string like "(English field name)" to represent any field you want to display. Of course, you have to know the English name of these fields. You can see the names and values ​​of all tag fields that already exist in this file through the "Advanced Mode" of the "File Information" dialog box mentioned above.

Question: Some files display garbled tags. Is there any way to correct them?

You can try to use the inner code conversion function in "File Information" to find the correct inner code.

Question: Why is Qianqian Jingting slow to find files in the list?

In order to save resource usage and increase the speed of adding files to the list, Qianqian Jingting defaults that when the playlist displays a certain audio file, players like fbr2000 read all the information of all files when they are added for the first time, so there is no need to read it when searching. In fact, Qianqian Jingting also provides the same file information operation method as fbr2000. Please change the read information to "Add" in the "Playlist" page in the options, and select "Cached File Information to Playlist".
