[Question] Sharing music library

[JoseBarakat]

Hi. I have a large collection of properly tagged music that I want to share, encoded in Opus (from Flac) at 512 kbps like this: $ opusenc --bitrate 512 --max-delay 10 inputName.flac outputName.opus

1. Will TorrentTunes support this audio format?
2. Is it necessary to always create/open a torrent file with the album or could be a public folder in Mega (http://mega.nz) or similar services a viable option(s)?

Unfortunately torrenttunes doesn't currently support flac, mainly because browsers can't handle it easily yet.

The torrent files are on a per song/recording basis, to keep things highly normalized. The torrentTunes scanner creates torrent files out of the well-tagged songs already in your library.

@dessalines Ok, sorry to hear that 'cause I like very much the Opus encoder technology (but I'll wait). I'm going to try that.

By the way, still trying to load TorrentTunes for the first time. I have Ubuntu 16.10 and have just installed Java JDK 8 from "Oracle Java (JDK) 7 / 8 / 9 Installer PPA" in a recent Ubuntu installation (less than 15 days), and I'm having this issue:

$ java -jar torrenttunes-launcher.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
    at com.torrenttunes.launcher.tools.Updater.checkForUpdate(Updater.java:33)
    at com.torrenttunes.launcher.Main.doMain(Main.java:52)
    at com.torrenttunes.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:123)

I have waited 15min but it doesn't update/load.

My Java version is:

~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

and

~$ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_111

Sorry about that, I changed my github username and it broke some things.

Here's the fixed launcher jar.

Great! It's running fine on Firefox 50.0

But, someday I'll have to turn my laptop off. For how many time should I have to seed my collection before turning off my machine? And, are you going to support Opus in a near future?

Thanks!
