I'm just curious as to wether or not anyone hear has had any experience with ogg audio files? Have you ripped any cds into ogg format instead of mp3? If so, did you just use oggenc and cdparanoia or cdda2wav, or did you use a GUI frontend to those? IMHO, this would make a cool SxS if anyone has

Well, according to the OggVorbis website (http://vorbis.com), the file size for the same bitrate is smaller in ogg format, and the audio quality is better than mp3. It's also open, non-patented format! =) On Tuesday 10 July 2001 08:49 pm, Jerry McBride wrote: > On Tue, 10 Jul 2001

Now that I have actually listened to an ogg file that I encoded from my cd, and gone back and read the FAQ on the Vorbis website, ogg files aren't quite audio superior to MP3files yet, because oggenc (the ogg encoder) isn't as far along as the actual ogg format. There is quite a bit of popping

It's been a while since I played with OGG, but IIRC, it really depended heavily on the options for encoding the song. The couple of OGGs I did were indistinguishable from thei MP3 couterparts, yet were smaller. I haven't played around with OGG encoding from a while, though. Tim On Tuesday 10 J

I think they can pull it off...aside from the crackling, the audio seems somewhat clearer. I have a 5 minute song that is only 1 meg in size in ogg format. This particular song has some loud parts in it, and you can't tell there's any crackling in it, and sounds nicer than mp3. Just my $0.02, t

I suppose you don't recall what command line args you gave it? Actually, I just encoded a second song, and their is hardly ANY crackling in it. I guess sometimes it just depends. On Tuesday 10 July 2001 09:51 pm, Tim Wunder wrote: > It's been a while since I played with OGG, but IIRC, it really

I'm about to submit one on ripping LP's and burning CD's, including a small amount of stuff on Ogg and mp3. I like the command-line tools. On Tue, 10 Jul 2001 20:44:50 -0500 Alan Bryant wrote: > I'm just curious as to wether or not anyone hear has had any experience with > ogg audio files? Ha
