| 83253 | 2002-09-27 02:51:00 | Now, So Nick Ale E In Excuse me for asking, but how'd'you comment on audio issues, when according to one of your websites, you're 9 tenth's deaf? Perhaps you have sooper-voomer ear-phones? (tm) lol - just kiddin. This isn't to cast any doubt on your credibility - I'm just curious. Best regards! |

| 83254 | 2002-09-27 03:00:00 | Umm... if you read my post, I did mention mp3pro... I also pointed to this article (www.digit-life.com) as a basis for understanding mp3pro. Lo. |

| 83255 | 2002-09-27 03:32:00 | if i understand the article right mp3pro isn't that hot. also i have yet to see any mp3pro mp3's. i think its a case of to little to late. other codecs have been finetuned enough to compete with it. ogg is a little different in the fact that its opensource and royalty free. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 83256 | 2002-09-27 04:20:00 | So, Ogg is looking even more and more like a better option, what should I use to encode to it. I've got WinAmp 2.81 which can play it, but how to encode my current music list to it? Chilling_Silence |

| 83257 | 2002-09-27 04:25:00 | yeah... Ogg might be ok, but you have to remember that there aren't many "ogg vorbis" sites... ppl are still sharing in mp3! And until developers can get the "smaller with better quality" mindset out of the way, I think mp3 will still dominate... Also, think about burning to audio cds... with most burning progs nowadays, they simply convert as they run... no need to decode to wav beforehand! And finally, the quality level of ogg vorbis is not that much greater than mp3... remember when everyone rushed out to buy cellphones when they were brick-sized? Wait a little while before investing that much time in shifting your music collection over to ogg vorbis... btw, don't transcode from mp3 to ogg either... that's just asking for trouble... Lo. |

Beethoven was pretty deaf throughout... And yes, I do use good quality headphones with the volume turned up loud... Anyway, I use MP3Pro to get 400+ on one CD... |

| 83259 | 2002-09-27 04:31:00 | That's a good way of putting it. I notice that WinMX now has a search for Ogg and MP3, two birds with one search! :p So, in your opinion, wait a while and there'll be better things out Yet in saying that, things are always gonna get better, I guess its just a metter of when its good enough for 1!

| 83260 | 2002-09-27 04:54:00 | Mate... I would jump at the chance if there were a format which was reasonably sized, yet was twice as good as mp3... that would convince me to shift over... With the age of ever-increasing hard drive sizes, and faster net access, etc... the notion of the resulting size of the audio file becomes irrelevant. I would be much happier if developers concentrated more on improving the quality of the format, as opposed to the size of the file... Anyway, just my 2cents worth, and I am sure there will be others out there who will disagree. ;) Lo. |

| 83261 | 2002-09-27 04:59:00 | >but you have to remember that there aren't many "ogg vorbis" sites... ppl are still sharing in mp3 correct. mp3 has been around for a long time and won't disappear overnight. >the quality level of ogg vorbis is not that much greater than mp3... i would say about the same as lame vbr for the same file size(depends on the settings tho) . however ogg does do low bitrates very well. i use 96kb/s@48000 for movies. >don't transcode from mp3 to ogg either... redo it from the origanal cd. each lossy compression does it in different ways. each codec loses different parts of the music so converting for mp3 to ogg will have lost more data than if you did it from cd to ogg. more data you lose the worse sounding it gets. there are heaps of codecs around however there are few free ones. btw i use cdex to rip to ogg (in paranoid mode). EAC is good for those scratched disks. |

| 83262 | 2002-09-27 05:02:00 | if filesize is not a concern then i would use monkeys lossless compression. | tweak'e (174) | ||
