Vorbis - Jan 2004 - iRiver iMP-550

Hi everyone!

I've just bought subj and updated the firmware to the 1.50b (beta) version.
It
plays ogg vorbis files, but only in a 96..256kbps range. That sucks because 
unfortunately almost every album of my music collection is encoded at q=9.2, 
and several bits, on the contrary, are encoded at very low bitrates like 
60-80 kbps :(

Well I can always reencode when I have time, but can someone explain me what 
is so special about the 96-256 kbps bitrate range? (I have some guesses, 
through, that higher bitrate carry more information and should require more 
synth work, but no clue on lower).

                                                         --Daniil

Wow, at q=9.2 your battery life will suck big time. Remember that this
is beta firmware, I suspect the bitrate issues will be fixed in the
final release. I invite you to join us at the Iriver International site
and at misticriver.net.
