What is DRM? Why do we remove DRM from WMA WMV ? Have you download music and video from Windows Media Player, iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, bearshare, Spiral Frog, BBC iPlayer downloads? These popular WMA music and WMV movie download programs among the music fans always come with a disgusting word - 'DRM'. DRM (Digital Rights Manage...

...d display (with charactergraphics) the current signal level. The signal level is quite dynamic, so I do need dynamic compression on the fly. The other question: I run an internet radio that reads Ogg files from the disc and uses streamTranscoder to create the mp3 stream. There's a need for WMA as well. How is it possible to create WMA from the Ogg stream on the fly? Does streamTranscoder support this? If yes, could please someone send an example configuration file? (The WMA streaming server will be a Windows server.) Thanks in advance! Yours, Jacint

Hello. I am new to this forum and relatively new to Icecast. I have set up and Icecast broadcast from my computer using Winamp as the playlist and the SAM Encoders to encode to WMA. The broadcast is running perfectly. The only issue is when I create an ASX file that links to my broadcast, it shows my IP address as the title of the broadcast. What do I need to do to change this to a name of my choice? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Change-St...

hi folks, in my (unlucky) first test of ogg vs other encoders, i found a case where wma and mp3pro sound much better than ogg at 64k. can anyone suggest a setting that i haven't tried yet that can rival the wma and mp3pro samples at 64k? it's the "gravel effect" that is troublesome. the part in question is the first 15 seconds of this wave file: http://qa01.live...

Monty wanted some samples with which to compare Vorbis and WMA, and he doesn't have a Win32 machine, so I made some. Microsoft has made their own demo samples available at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/WM8/audio.asp I took their original .wav's, and encoded them with their wma8 encoder utility (WM8EUTIL.EXE), using all of the ava...

Some CDs will include all the songs encoded with Windows Media, removing the the need for ripping.

...the examples on that very educational page, I decided to augment the info. This example is more simple, it involves the comparision between two streams of the same radio station, FranceInter (a station of Radio France in Paris). The ogg stream is running at around 30 kbps/11 kHz in stereo. The WMA stream (provided by yacast.fr) is running at 16 kbps/22 kHz in mono. The ogg stream is being encoded on an old Pentium 166 mmx (a HP Vectra, an office workstation from 1996). Yacast won't release any info on what they use, however, Windows 2000/XP won't even boot on an old Pentium 166 mmx...

There is a big difference between having a codec available for some player and having the same "included" with it. I will let Real and Apple speak for themselves but I would be very surprised if either one will ship your code. If this is wrong, please give us some specifics. > Am...

Is stereo vs. mono, and 22khz vs. 11khz even a fair comparison? 22khz vs. 11khz: 22khz, by definition, gives the 22khz stream much more frequency range and *opportunity* to sound clearer. Yes, there are more audible...

I'm shopping for a small/tiny audio recorder, the kind for recording in a class, interviews, etc... not really music, just voice. Per usual, a lot of these write their audio files in some Windows format, e.g., WMA. As a confirmed Linux guy, I'd want to offload the audio files in some format that Linux can read/play natively. I've read a sketchy suggestion that there's a Linux app or utility to do a translation from WMA, <http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/127583>, but I always like to...

thanks for getting back to me, i have uploaded a zip file containing some sound files that demonstrates the issue. http://www.bogus.net/~olav/ess.zip this contains s.mp3 original wav file (mono) converted to top-quality mp3 (370K) s.wma windows media encoder with 19khz voice compression ( 62K) s-2.spx speexenc --vbr --quality 2 on the wav file ( 63K) s-9.spx --quality 9 (197K) plus quality 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. the contents of the file is a norweigan sentence from a re...

Hello all I have been encoding to OGG as a default for well over a year, but I recently thought I ought to test how it sounds compared to other codecs. I got the Windows Media 9 encoder and I was quite surprised at how bad a job OGG did at quality 0 with a simple piano clip, and how well WMA9 was - I've always considered WMA as being a bit naff, but WMA9 has forced me to re-access this view Drop by http://www.tompagenet.co.uk/vorbis/ to see if you agree or can offer any insight - shouldn't OGG beat WMA9 in sound quality? The original is from the Lost in Translation sound tra...

And as Bryan also suggested, WMA streaming lends itself to this kind of thing easily, since it's the way WMA streaming works (you don't actually *send* a WMA stream to a server from the DSP, you host it in the DSP and the streaming server PULLs the data from you, so adding a "PULL only when a listener is listening...
