similar to: Yet another vorbis vs. mp3 comparison

I have having problems trying to take a file recorded with Monitor and convert it to MP3. When I use 'play' to play the .wav file, it sounds fine. After bladenc'ing it, it plays at lightening speed, and the voices are all high pitch. I tried using sox to resample to 32000 before encoding, but that didnt work either. Do any of you convert your .wav files to mp3? Monitor call:

Hi everyone, My name is Tord Jansson and I'm the creator of BladeEnc. I'm very delighted to see that someone has created an open and patent-free sound format which seems to have the qualifications to be on par (or beat) even the best proprietary formats. Congratulations to everyone involved! I would like to help making Vorbis a popular format for compressed audio and have been thinking

Greetings. In looking through the mail archives, I don't see any mention of parallelism of the vorbis code (particularly the encoder). I was wondering if anyone was looking into this at all? Either with threads, and/or on some kind of parallel machine (e.g., a Beowulf cluster)? I see very little mention of threads in the source code, which leads me to believe that they are only there for

I've put together a first cut for a Win32 DLL using the BladeEnc interface. Right now, it's just a drop-in replacement for BladeEnc.dll that ignores all encoding parameters passed to it and uses the info_A vorbis_info struct (same as the encoder_example). It's not particularly useful as of yet, but you can rename it to BladeEnc.dll and use it with any number of rippers out there

Hello All, I realize that I am using pre-release code. I realize that the bitstream format will change in a couple of days. I realize that at this point comparisons between MP3 and Vorbis still don't mean much. BUT I couldn't resist. I ripped a random track off of one of my CDs and did some comparisons between Vorbis and MP3. I thought you guys might be interested in the results.

Hi, I released a BladeEnc-style wrapper for the Ogg Vorbis 1.0 codec which works with my CD ripper ACXtractor. You can download it from http://www.marvintec.com/en_download.htm Many thanks for all this great work ;-) <p>Best regards Stefan Schulz/ MarvinTec mailto:support@marvintec.com http://www.marvintec.com http://www.marvintec.de <p>--- >8 ---- List archives:

In all the abx'ing and ear testing I've done in the past for my classical and jazz music I have never seen or heard bladeenc output worse than xing. (worse than lame, yes) Now, to sorta keep this ON topic. I have never heard a an xing, blade OR lame encoded mp3 sound better than a Garf tuned RC2 encode of my Jazz and Classical stuff, (not a large sample set). Also, I haven't used

Hi all, I've just posted another version of vorb_enc.dll (w/source code) at http://xtractor.sourceforge.net/vorbdll-20000626.zip It will still work as a drop-in replacement for bladeenc.dll (just rename the files that your ripper creates from MP3 to OGG), but will also accept info for the ogg comment header in the vorb struct in the format union of the BE_CONFIG struct. I'll be

As far as I can see, transcoding could be usefull for people who do not primarly care about quality but about filesizes. One could assume that such a user would have a collection of mp3's at 128kbps or higher bitrates, and uses an encoder like BladeEnc or Xing. He wants to take uses of ogg's supposed quality and transcode his 128-or-higher files into 96 or 112kbps oggs to save diskspace.

I would very much like a lowpass option because for FM radio broadcasting I don't want to encode frequencies above 15khz. I'm waiting for this option before switching to ogg from mp3(lame).

Hi All, Thanks to the people that responded to my question. The suggestion of using SJphone instead of the Xten phone resolved the problem :-) I now have another sound related problem! I've installed mpg123 and ensured that the binary is copied to /usr/bin as well as the default install location. mpg123 plays mp3s back perfectly via the desktop speakers, but when I playback an mp3 via the

Hi, I've recently installed Asterisk and have got the majority of it configured (what an excellent piece of software it is, too), but I'm having a couple of problems. The first one is with music on hold! I've downloaded and installed mpg123 as specified: ># whereis mpg123 >mpg123: /usr/local/bin/mpg123 It's the correct version: >#

Hi All, First of all a quick thanks to everyone that has provided me with hints and tips over the past few days. I'm still experiencing problems with the playback of MP3s. The MP3 files will playback but they suffer from "stuttering". mpg123 is installed and plays back the file without problem via the desktop speakers. (It is definitely mpg123 installed, and not mpg321) The

Two issues. 1. Probable regression in Wine v1.2.2 and 1.2.3 (v 1.2 ok): - ACM / native WMP playback not working. Tried to upgrade to 1.2.3, then 1.2.2 and they both cause the player (1by1) to hang, nothing written to console. Revert back to v1.2 and acm works fine again. 2. Bug in Wine v1.3.x: - ACM / native WMP playback (using libmpg123) elapsed track time advances too quickly (nearly two

Hello All, I realize that this is all highly unscientific and probably unprofessional as well. Still, I couldn't resist the urge. I ripped track 6 (prelude) from Yanni's "Tribute" album and encoded it with the latest versions of lame and oggenc. I present below the command line I used for both encodes: time oggenc -a 'Yanni' -t 'Prelude' -l 'Tribute' -c

Hi, sorry if I am brining up old news, but I couldn''t find a good answer searching the previous posts (My mom always says I am bad with finding things :) However I noticed a difference when creating a zfs filesystem compared with a vxfs filesystem in the available size. ie. ZFS zonedata/zfs [b]392G[/b] 120G 272G 31% /zfs VxFS /dev/vx/dsk/zonedg/zonevol

Jake, You could decode the compressed audio to raw audio, pipe it into the ice system and have it "re-encode" to a consistent bitrate and format (Vorbis/MP3). If there's nothing with the Ice software that's this versatile, you'll have to write a small shell script, which does something like calls ogg123/mpg123 and outputs decoded audio. Now I mention this as potentially

Watch the film: http://www.filmwave.com/mp3/ Plot: In the year 2002, the government has outlawed MP3s and any related material including Napster. The FBI has created a department called the MP3 Task Force to help combat illegal MP3s, the Task Force are two former musicians, Agent Farley, and Agent Hopkins, together they will infiltrate the MP3 black market and put an end to MP3s forever.
