Is Masmbasic open source? My AV on the corporate laptop complains. Can I download it and build it from source?

In a livestream with Musk and several leading xAI employees, it was stated that Grok 3 had performed better in standardised tests than AI models from OpenAI and other competitors. One of the tasks for Grok 3 in the livestream was to programme a 3D model that uses planetary movements to indicate the best launch window for a mission to Mars. Afterwards, Musk said that 'if all goes well', his space travel company SpaceX wants to send a ship with humanoid robots from the car manufacturer Tesla, which he runs, to Mars at the next favourable moment at the end of 2026.

I found the spec for the bextchunk. It contains the following items:

  • Description*
  • Originator
  • OriginatorReference
  • OriginationDate
  • OriginationTime
  • TimeReference (1st sample count since midnight)
  • Version
  • SMPTE UMID (array of 64 byte values)
  • LoudnessValue
  • LoudnessRange
  • MaxTruePeakLevel
  • MaxMomentaryLoudness
  • MaxShortTermLoudness

* This is completely blank in your sample files.

Question is, is it worthwhile for me to display this info? Seems this is really only of interest to audio-engineer types (i.e., people like you, Stoo).

Wouldn't be all that hard to do.

QuoteApparently this is a custom chunk put in by your software.
NO, Not MY Software.
That track was Direct from: David Chesky's - Audiophile Society

No "LIST", "INFO" OR "IART"  :sad:

Aha; it's a "Broadcast Audio Extension" chunk. Some info here.

Hmm; looks like your file starts with the standard "fmt" chunk (18 bytes), followed by a "bext" chunk (of 632 bytes) which I have no idea what it is. That includes the text shown at the bottom. Apparently this is a custom chunk put in by your software.

Maybe scroll through the file, see if you can see any data that starts with "LIST", "INFO, "IART", etc. These are standard sub-chunks that my program knows about.

OK,.. well regarding that last file, I'm unsure Anything really changed as far as the Info' stored is concerned.

Perhaps it is the way EAC is configured, although I did look to see if I had Disabled Any (Personally) un-required Options. The Only thing I chose Not to include, relates to the Addition of the Artists Name in each Track listing ie:



As the Output from that previous example seemed pointless to include (as NO extra Data was included, to display), I went searching through my collection, in case I could find any 'Rips' I had made previously using Windows Media Centre or even via any Linux tools  etc,... sadly perhaps with Nothing really to 'show'.

So I had a look at some stuff I knew had been created by other people/sources and found an example from some stuff I got from the "Audiophile Society Sampler", which DID show extra Data  :thumbsup:

QuoteMake a .wav file that has some of that metadata (artist, genre, etc.) in it, then run it through my program. It should show that info.

Hmmm didn't seem to make a Lot of Difference ??



Stoo, could you do me another flavor? Download the attached program (a hex viewer) and run it against one of those .wav files that's supposed to have that metadata embedded.
Then post a screenshot, just the first screenful will show enough of the .wav file header to see what's in there.

Thanks!
