Obligatory shilling for unar, I love that little fucker so much

  • Single command to handle uncompressing nearly all formats.
  • No obscure flags to remember, just unar <yourfile>
  • Makes sure output is always contained in a directory
  • Correctly handles weird japanese zip files with SHIFT-JIS filename encoding, even when standard unzip doesn't

gonna start lovingly referring to good software tools as “little fuckers”

What weird Japanese zip files are you handling?

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Voicebanks for Utau (free (as in beer, iirc) clone of Vocaloid) are primarily distributed as SHIFT-JIS encoded zips. For example, try downloading Yufu Sekka's voicebank: http://sekkayufu.web.fc2.com/ . If I try to unzip the "full set" zip, it produces a folder called РсЙ╠ГЖГtТPУ╞Й╣ГtГЛГZГbГgБi111025Бj. But unar detects the encoding and properly extracts it as 雪歌ユフ単独音フルセット(111025). I'm sure there's some flag you can pass to unzip to specify the encoding, but I like having unar handle it for me automatically.

Ah, that's pretty cool. I'm not sure I know of that program. I do know a little vocaloid though, but I only really listen to 稲葉曇(Inabakumori).

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I know inabakumori! Their music is so cool! When I first listened to rainy boots and lagtrain, it made me feel emotions I thought I had forgotten a long time ago... I wish my japanese was good enough to understand the lyrics without looking them up ._. I'm also a huge fan of Kikuo. His music is just something completely unique, not to mention his insane tuning. He makes Miku sing in ways I didn't think were possible lol

[-] sh__@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I get you, I want to learn more Japanese. I only understand a very small amount at this point. I don't have any Miku songs that I have really wanted to listen to, but that could change. I might check out Kikuo then. Also I love the animations Inabakumori release with their songs too. They have some new stuff that's really good if you haven't checked it out yet.

The same thing with zip, just use "unzip " right?
