Enlighten me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that Fraunhofer are the original developers of the MP3 compression algorhithm (sp??) which is used by *all* MP3 encoders? Is there really a massive audible difference (at the same bitrate) between the various app's? I've been using LAME since it's regarded as being the 'best' and I've certainly been happy with the results at 192 for archiving my music; however since I encoded a file to .ogg yesterday for the first time ever, I'm truly convinced that Ogg sounds better. Henceforth, I shall ogg away... just as soon as I install a user- friendly front-end version that doesn't rely on command-lines, since I'm not nearly geeky enough :-) I * --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
