WinAmp 2.76, Vorbis plugin 1.15a, 64 bit stream. Make sure output is going to waveOut or DirectShow. Also make sure shuffle play and repeat play are off. See if that helps any. --- >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.

Hi: Now that I have cable, I can listen to such things. I tuned into the 64kbps stream and noticed something a bit odd. I'd be interested to know if this is using RC2 or a more recent CVS. The encoder seemed to be on the threshhold between 2 different modes, one where the highs came through intact, and one where they don't. It seems to spend most of its time in the lower mode, often hitting rates in the 40's. The artifact was a sort of watery sound, something that reminded me of LAME at MPEG2 rates at lower bitrates. You can hear it pretty clearly with headphones. At times, however, it would leap out of this mode into one that did better justice to the music (particularly the "drums" and square waves) and sounded much more like the 128kbps stream. I don't know how 64kbps usually does with dance music, but the little testing I've done with RC2 has not yielded such drastic results. Perhaps this is the re-encoding? Still kicks MP3.
