| 200781 | 2004-01-27 20:29:00 | lol, yes I was going to say go with monkeys, but you figured that out for yaself ;) | PoWa (203) | ||
| 200782 | 2004-01-28 20:51:00 | What sort of compatibility do these other formats have? For example, would an MP3 capable discman or car stereo be able to play the Monkeys or OGG Vorbis format? Lizard |

| 200785 | 2004-01-28 22:32:00 | Well yea if you rip a music track off the cd, it usually is about a 40mb wav file. Monkeys will make that about 20mb and thats lossless audio quality. So basically you have the exact same thing but half the size. Now if you have mp3 you might get it down to 3-4mb but it might not sound as good as you've lost like half the quality. Generally the mp3 player walkmans and iPods etc only allow you to play mp3 or the stupid DRM format. They haven't allowed for the better formats like ogg-vorbis or any lossless ones. |

Just a little bit bigger than .mp3 files in my experience but that depends on what quality setting you rip the mp3s at. I no longer rip as oggs since I plan to get an mp3 portable CD player soon and don't want to risk it not being able to play them or being restricted to those brands that do. ;-) |
