Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Multi PCM file coding and decoding

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] new VBR code

I even wonder if that should be 192 kbs. But that would only be desirable if we want an average of say, ~256kbs... Ivo -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )

does indeed get 320 kbs? The bitreservoir doesn't make much sense if we want to encode at 320 kbs, does it? Ivo -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Sample bitrate problem

out this for a long time. I mean, since these 22.05kHz have already been encoded to MP3 once, and LAME decodes, upsamples or downsamples it, then encodes it to MP3 AGAIN, how much does the quality suffer from re-encoding the file? Ivo -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )
