Just a (I hope) quick question: Are there any advantages (related to sound quality and file size, not to encode/decode speed or segfaults) of using 1.0 instead of RC3? I as it because I'm a Debian user, and I track the stable branch, which means I'm stuck with the vorbis tools version RC3, unless I want to use unofficial apt sources (don't like it that much), or compile my own packages. I'm about to re-encode my CD collection in Vorbis, so that's the other reason I'm asking this. Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed. And thank you developers, testers, etc! I don't remember being this happy about software since linux 2.2 was released, or since The GIMP 1.2. Actually, since Debian 3.0. :) -- Jordi <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Substantial improvements, especially at low/ very low bitrate. Mid bitrate also has improvements.

If you go through the archives of the last few days, you can see there has been some discussion about exaggerated trebles in Ogg/Vorbis 1.0. There seem to be various fixes, but which one eventually makes it through to the main branch and when is an open question.
