Song cache in MP3 format?

[woonaval]

Hello,

Not sure if I would categorize this as an issue, but it confused me. I enabled song caching in sonixd and I noticed that even though all my songs are in .opus format, the cached files are in .mp3 format. Although it's weird because they don't have any mp3tags, and if I rename them to .opus then the tags are there and the song plays just fine. So I guess this is just some cosmetic thing and the songs are really cached in the original format, am I right? Thanks for your great app and project, I'm delighted by it.

Same here. These days I was trying to save some songs of my favorite (I mean the original FLAC files) but, I could not find them in my catch folder.

So I tried accessing "C:\Users[my name]\AppData\Roaming\Sonixd\Cache" and copyed some big files named like f_00112f etc. After renaming them, .mp3 format appeared in Explorer, and, they were really MP3 files because I saw the info after right-clicking.

So if these songs are really cached in the original format, where do they go?

Unfortunately the caching solution in Sonixd isn't very robust (hoping to improve it in 1.0.0).

The songs are indeed cached in their original format, but are then renamed using a generic <id>.mp3 file format so that I can do a simple check to see if the cached file is available.

@LiangMan0227 The default song cache folder should be %appdata%/sonixd/sonixdCache/<server id>/song This can be changed in the Config page to use a custom directory.
