Lo-Fi Files
There may be times in which you'd like to present your user with "lo-fi" files. These would be smaller, much lower quality files that a "lofi" user could stream (more on that later). All you need to do is create a file with the lower encoding settings (say 32k for an MP3 vs 128k) and name it:
Track Name.lofi.mp3
And Jinzora will display the lofi icon for it. If there is a file with the EXACT same name (other than the .lofi) it will be displayed with the lofi file.
You can also set your default user permissions to "lofi" so that default users would only be able to stream the .lofi files.
Creating Lo-Fi Files
Jinzora can easily create Lo-Fi files for you. To do this you'll need to have the LAME encoder installed on your machine. You can get the LAME encoder at: http://lame.sourceforge.net/
To use the LAME encoder to create Lo-Fi files you'll need to edit "system.php" and make sure that:
$lame_opts = "/usr/local/bin/lame -a -b 32 --mp3input --resample 22.05 ";
Is set with the options you'd like, and that the path is correct. You can find details on what options are available on the LAME site at http://lame.sourceforge.net/USAGE
Once you have "system.php" setup properly, all you need to do is (as an Admin user) click the Info "?" button next to a track. In this window you'll see the "Create Lo-Fi" button (if the permissions check out correctly), and if a Lo-Fi file exists you'll see the "Delete Lo-Fi" button, so you can clean them up if you wish. Don't forget to rewrite the ID3 tags on the track after you've created it, as it will be blank at first.
