Hello all, I'm glad to announce to you that Vorbis now has full ReplayGain support. If you're not familiar with ReplayGain, take a look at www.replaygain.org. The main features are: a) all songs play back with equal loudness b) removes the need for normalization c) allows for clipping prevention Using it is very simple. Get a compatible decoder (ogg123, XMMS and WinAmp all support it

Hi all, I started testing the RC1 encoder at ftp://sjeng.sourceforge.net/pub/sjeng/oggdrop.exe (based on branch_monty_20010708) On the songs I have tested so far (not much :) I did not hear any stereo issues, but there are some very noticeable problems with the produced files. Songs without much high-end will suddenly have one when encoded. (you'd expect it the other way around) It

And thats only a player. What about an (Open Source) encoder? Nah, I'll stick with OGG for the time being.

After doing an informal (128k) listening test, I have concluded that I prefer Beta4 over RC2. The 16kHz low-pass on the RC2 encoder makes it sound like FM radio. Both encoders SEEM to have a couple of dB bump at 10kHz.

In case you missed it, RC2 is on slashdot.org too: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/08/13/1811241 BTW Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote on /. that RC3 should appear very soon (in a week or so)?

Hi all, I have implemented ReplayGain support for Vorbis. If you are not familiar with it, it is basically a method of making sure all your files have equal loudness, remove the need for normalization and prevent clipping during playback. The process is totally lossless, and supporting it requires minimal work. More info about the exact workings can be found on www.replaygain.org (recommended

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).

I've been running through a collection of hard to encode samples that the lame developers use, and others, doing ABX testing at various quality levels looking for my personal sweet spot. Last time I did this for RC3 I found that most samples where pretty transparent around the 3.5-4 region (my ears aren't that well trained, and I don't want them to be :-), but this time I noticed

Hi all, ome people asked if it was possible to make an even higher quality mode by incorporating some of the changes from the first tuned version into the 350kbps mode. I did so and made a new version with this new mode. It gives bitrates from roughly 300-350kbps. That's a lot, but it also gets very hard to find something it artifacts on :) Should be sufficient for archival quality. In

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.

Q: Is there any testing against a collection of known "hard-to-encode" clips before new releases? It would be an obvious thing, if you want to be serious about quality. I brought this up because I tried latest cvs version of oggenc on one of these standard clips I have. It's a 6 sec long clip of an applause. Heavy noise is easy to hear with qualities 0 to 5,99. (This corresponds

Hello -- I desperately want to start using Ogg compression on music I release on the internet, but I am encountering a fair amount of artifacts. I noticed some in beta4 and was hoping they would disappear with RC1. However, I've been playing with RC2 and I've still been banging my head into a number of problems. A majority of the music I make has long drones with a fair amount of spectral

Hi! I would like to share with you an interesting test result. I re-encoded a song 10 times (the 2. made from the 1., the 3. made from the 2.,... the 10. made from the 9.), with a beta4 (CVS 20010620) and with an RC2 (CVS 20010817) library version, 256 kbit/s mode, channel coupling disabled at RC2. The beta4 is very good at the 10. encoding too, but the RC2 has some interesting quality bugs. So,

After reading http://mp3.radified.com/mp3.htm I sent Rad an explanation of some things as I understand them. He liked it and posted it on his site (still unlinked, use the URL below). Can somebody with better understanding of psycho-acoustic terms and the vorbis model check it and comment on it? In particular I didn't know how vorbis handles quantization noise. If you reply with

>No big deal. I thought someone might be interested in a bug report. I >guess not. Your report is very much appreciated. Thanks! I hope the fixed version works for you.

When using the abx utility that is in LAME's misc dir, trying it on an ogg (with ogg123) gives the following output: Standard Open Source Bug detected, try murksaround ... (ogg123 is decoding to stdout) IIRC this also happened with older mpg123's but no longer with the latest release. Latest ogg123 from CVS still gives it though. Someone stole code but forgot to check for fixes? :)

Hello everyone, I'm a student at the Universtiy of Delaware, and will be soon starting some research on the effects of lossy audio compression on speech sounds. I will be preforming test with both mp3 and vorbis. First of all, if I use the '--ogg' switch to lame, does lame use GPSYCHO to encode the wave, or some other psychoacoustic model (perhaps one designed for
