I think the new web page is wonderful. However, one thing annoyed me. Some programs on 'Other Software Which Supports Ogg Vorbis' page at Vorbis.com seems to be bit problematic. As far as I know, at least two of them have not updated their plug-ins for a while. 1. 'CD-DA X-Tractor' vorbenc-20001018.zip as 'Latest released version of vorb_enc.dll' 2. 'Media

Hey all. I was an "early" adopter of mp3 (1994-1995), and I took great pains to use digital audio extractors and avoid jitter and whatnot thru proper hardware - back then, this was no mean feat. Well, I'm starting to switch to Ogg (dragging out all the CD's, starting over) and I want to know if anyone has an informed opinion on the merits or demerits of "normalization"

What's the best way to rip from CDs to Ogg tracks on Windows?

ok, i'm puzzeled here I just recently reinstalled windows 2k, and i've been useing EAC to rip my CDs for a while now. i wanted to test it out (i had to reconfigure it) so i put in a burned CD with a few pretty bad scratches (used a hunting knife to make em) When i rip it i don't get any errors (with CDex to) but of course when i listen to it i hear them. This is strange bceause

Greetings Fellow Vorbis Gurus! How can I encode, using CDex, at a CBR (constant bit rate) rather than the VBR? Also, can one take a 128kbs MP3 file and re-encode it to ogg? If so, please explain the procedure. By the way, I'm using a Windows based system. Thank you! /jp/ dojpaul@coffey.com --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

I've had this problem encoding oggs where the output file is small, like 24kbytes for a 4 minute song (tested at 128 and 160kbit). I'm running Windows 2000 and this has happened in oggenc, oggdrop, and CDEX, though I've also been able to get good encodings with each of these. I think the only clean encodings have been .wav's that I've made myself with SoundForge or CoolEdit,

Hello! This is not a topic I am well versed in but required to become well versed in...I welcome any assistance! Using R, I want to create an optimal design for an experiment. I'll be analyzing the results with logistic regression or some generalized linear model. I am thinking that the algdesign package can help (but no idea where to start?). I'm presenting an example here that I have

Once i've run into misfeature. I've grabbed an Audio CD with one of russian opera's, and its comment been wirttenas a 8-bit ANSI text. When i tried to play them in WnAMP - the comments were unreadable. Peter (the author of WinAMP OGG plugin) told me, that the comments must be encoded using UTF-8. I wrote it to the author of AudioGrabber and he told me he will forward it to plugin

I am using CDex to encode my music into Flac. I am using the latest version of Flac (with the frontend etc.) and sending the rips to it as an 'external encoder' with the string: -8 -o %2 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%b" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%tn" -T "genre=%g" - However, I am getting the below output/error with

I just finished ripping a bunch of FLAC files from CDs through CDex by using an external encoder, sending the wav file to stdin (FLAC 1.1.2) and I get this weird 1/2 second repeat right at the end of the song that is from a second or two from the end... for example, Shania Twain sings "I feel like a woman!... a wom..." ... I get that extra "a wom..." at the end. Every song I

Hi all, I've got a strange problem. I was just encoding a new CD I bought a couple of days ago (Muse - Hullabaloo Soundtrack) when I ran into a strange bug. After ripping track 8, CD 1 with cdparanoia under OpenBSD/alpha, I wanted to encode it with oggenc (latest version from the OpenBSD-current ports tree, (`oggenc -v` says 'OggEnc v1.0 (libvorbis 1.0)')). Here's the output :

Not too long ago, I converted my whole cd library to OGG format, because I loved the way it sounded, and the fact that is was open source. Recently, I wanted to update my library with the latest CVS code. I just did a compile of the CVS ogg binaries (ogg.dll, vorbis.dll, vorbis_enc.dll, vorbis_file.dll), and I noticed they were alot larger in size than the default ones that came with CDex. I

One thing that has always bothered me about the ogg format is the distortion of high frequency sounds - even at data rates as high 128 and 160 kbps. I find the best way around this is to resample the wav file to 48 kHz (using SoundForge 6.0) before encoding (using CDex) to ogg. It takes a while, and adds a lot of extra wear and tear on my drive, but what a difference! The result is an 80k ogg file

Thought I'd throw another log on to the quality debate to liven things up a bit. Does anyone have any evidence anecdotal or otherwise on the difference between -q 5 and -q 4.99? Now, I know that the difference between them is ONLY that a lossy channel coupling is used at 4.99 and that lossless channel coupling is used at 5. So my question is: How good is the channel coupling in 4.99? Can

Hi all, Have trouble encoding / playing back OGG using WinAmp + plugin. I encoded the files from .WAV with Ogg drop RC2. Seems to be ok. When I try and play them back though I get very very weird sound effects (some kind of "wobbling", some bass frequencies that are usually in the background seem to get more emphasised and they seem to have some kind of strange echo / reverb to it

In my efforts to convince people to hear how good Vorbis is when compared to MP3, I'm gonna be encoding tracks from my CD collection to both formats, then writing them to audio CD, so people don't have to install extra software to hear the difference. Has anyone got some suggested specs for the options for MP3 encoding when using CDex or Chun-Yu's MP3 writer for winamp (preferably in

Okay, since that last entry of mine was on the order of, "Here's another useless almost-funny reply from Mr. Kerezman, please laugh politely now," here's a piece of info that the Wintel users might find useful. http://www.cdex.n3.net CDEX is coming along nicely as a ripping/encoding package for Windows. I very happily use the latest beta, whatever that happens to be at the

Goals: 1. Store meta data 2. Be able to recreate and burn bit-for-bit accurate audio CDs from archive. 3. Be able to "generate" lossy format files (OggVorbis,MP3,etc) with meta info intact when needed. 4. One file per song. 5. Files playable in XMMS and WinAMP3. Questions: Q1. OGG vs FLAC container? Q2. Meta data format? Q3. In detail, how does one do goal 2? Q4. What ripping/encoding
