Multimedia :: A great MP3 encoder
That, I didn't know!
Thanks J.P. for your reply given in the
spirit of open information exchange and
friendly banter.
I knew about the VBR, but didn't realise
the implicatations.Didn't know about the
floating point versus integer calculations.
I can see technical advantages.
It seems that to take advantage of all this
you need to go straight from source to
Ogg.Or at least have a collection of Oggs
produced that way, and not having been
subjected to a conversion process first.
And who has their favorite band locked
away in the garage (now that kidnaping
and deprivation of liberty have become
criminal offences)?
That last bit was actually a joke.
I probably need to point that out in some
cases.
Thanks again for the advice- that was very
informative!
Heh no prob. ^_^
Yeah, to reap the benefits of ogg, you need to encode them from a high bitrate source, like a .wav file.
Just converting an mp3 won't make any difference in sound quality at all.

Lame also offers VBR encoding...
But I LOVE the look on co-workers faces when I mention "OGG"

Hey, you're a Recording Industry
Pro- what do the commercial people
use?
Ahh, young Ogg Vorbis was a Norse Pirate.
