http://audio.ciara.us/test/index.html http://audio.ciara.us/test/128extension/results.html AAC, MPC, Vorbis, WMA 9/Pro, Lame & Blade were tested at 128k vbr. MP3Pro, AAC-Pro/Plus(?) and older versions of WMA were not tested. Looks like Vorbis tied with AAC, MPC and WMA 9/Pro for first. Although it was a four way tie, Vorbis was on the low end. And LAME was only slightly lower, comming in

Hi, there. Although I'm not a hacker at all, I noticed an audible noise on Beta 4 encoded files. So, I'd like to report it here. I ripped and encoded 'A Day Without Rain' on the album with the same name By Enya into Vorbis using Oggenc and Oggdrop Beta 4 from the Vorbis site. (You know, she is quite an encoder-killer.) At all the bitrates, files encoded by Oggdrop had audible

hi, if i reencode a stream that is in mp3pro (streamed with sam) to a lower bitrate by using ices/lame, is the reencoded stream mp3 or mp3pro ? thank you -- Mit freundlichen Gr?ssen Carsten Henkel mailto:carsten@chatlabel.de Eine gl?ckliche Frau braucht 4 Tiere: einen Jaguar in der Garage, einen Nerz im Schrank, einen Hengst im Bett und einen Esel, der alles

I think what they're trying to do here is not only block non-SCDNAS servers, but also as many non-Shoutcast sources as they can. Think about it - if you're streaming MP3Pro without

Reading Monty's message, I better re-post this one :-). In another thread the following was said: > It might help if you also mentioned that the sound quality of Ogg is > significantly better than MP3 (assuming that you use regular MP3, not > MP3Pro), especially at 32kbps. Speaking of which, would there be anything to stop Vorbis, maybe not v1 but in the future, to use similar

Greg, Yes, I have noticed that new codec.. AACPlus. Its really impressive in it's abilities, and it's sound quality. I tried to open it up with Windows Media Player and my Flash Player.. didn't seem to like it very much. While It's really kewl as a codec, and it has great support with a couple players, and limited support for the rest, I'll stick with the mainstream for now,

Brainstorming Idea: Possibly add an xml api to the current yp logic, that way 3rd party providers could parse the stations in the yp off icecast.org in there media players. of course a plugin for winamp would be the first obvious choice(since the already have there own media library but uses yp.shoutcast.com), but others would follow. I remember seeing something previously at dir.xiph.org but

Sort of off topic, but I was wondering about how the SBR data factors into an mp3pro bitrate. If you encode a "64kbps" mp3pro stream, I'm guessing that 64kbps would include the SBR data. So, when played in a normal MP3 player, would a 64kbps mp3pro stream actually sound worse than a 64kbps MP3 stream? Tony Arcieri --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg

But the source computer runs the other os, so I don't have too much choice as to what I can do and the timeout problems remain with mp3 as well. The persons involved don't want to use .ogg for now so that is also not an option. Is this an icecast bug, or some other problem? on Thursday 08/14/2003 Arc(arc@indymedia.org) wrote > On Thu, Aug 14, 2003 at 12:01:11PM -0400, John Covici

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

Important (imho)! I found this site in the internet: http://www.plusv.org/ PlusV is an audio enhancement algorithm similar to SRB of Mp3Pro, but 1) better than SBR 2) Fully open-source It seems to me wise to include PlusV into new versions of Ogg Vorbis. P.S. what about some long-awaited features in Ogg Vorbis? 1) ability to turn off the frequency filter in the encoder (especially for high

Hi. I am having a strange problem where the source times out during anicecast2 stream -- I was using mp3pro at 32khz and even some other speeds. I have set the source timeout for 1 minute, but it still times out or says connection reset by peer. Now the strange thing is that I also had a windows media stream on the same source machine going to a wm server and it had no problems! So can someone

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:

I was a bit confused by that statement as well Lee. I've done a bit of work with mp3PRO using a source developed from scratch and a version of the original Icecast modified only trivially to deal with specific metadata requirements. There is a very high level explanation of mp3PRO at the http://www.mp3prozone.com/basics.htm site. At the risk of being somewhat incomplete i will add: 1) The

The last few threads have really been interesting. Technologies that are currently on the market are MP3, RealAudio, and Windows Media (pre-version8). Technologies currently in progress or just shipped are Ogg Vorbis and mp3pro. I don't think anyone has mentioned TwinVQ on this list. While exploring alternatives to MP3 (which is when I also found Vorbis), I noticed TwinVQ. I encoded

Congratulations on inclusion in the Real Helix thing. :-) I do have a question, however. While I am very impressed by Vorbis 1.0's quality even down to "-1", vorbis seems very much a VBR format, which is great if the file lives on your hard drive, but a mixed bag for streaming over a modem connection. How well does Vorbis compare to existing streaming formats, including
