i'm recently started to encode my cd's into ogg vorbis format (192kb/s), and i am very much pleased with the quality. however, i will certainly feel awful after encoding 1gb of files and beta5 comes out, claiming to increase the sound quality. in other words, should i be using ogg vorbis for long-term audio storage without fear that those files are crappy quality and should be re-encoded 5 months later using the next beta. -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak GPG/PGP-KeyID: 0x3A1446A0 --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Next beta version (or RC1?) will sound better, but those improvements will probably be more audible at lower bitrates like 160,128,... Anyway, if you're planning long-term storage, then I would suggest re-encoding when official 1.0 version comes out.

I using oggenc 0.7. This is great. bye pk --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Today: Why buy AMD 850 today when you can get a 1000 cheaper tomorrow. Tomorrow: Why buy AMD 1000 today when you can get a 1200 cheaper tomorrow. Wash rinse repeat. That said, there is a point of diminishing returns where it might make sense to wait a little bit, for Vorbis that will likely be around 1.0 or perhaps the next service pack after that. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
