[my opinion] Believing OV, once mainstream, will not be slapped and crippled by lawsuits from conventional music and distribution industry because it uses no obvious patented material is plain out naive. There goes the biggest advantage of this format. [/my opinion] Your other comments

BTW, please explain: am I allowed to report an OGG VORBIS bug just if and when you ask me? Please remember we didn't flame him for his critique on vorbis, we flamed him for his presentation :) I think this might have got blown out of proportion a bit due to lanugage issues. I'm glad Roel has

If anyone interested in checking out what LAME is capable of, check out realtime SHOUTcast broadcast plugin for AMP Radio. you could have made one for icecast instead :) jack. -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )

Related question: wouldn't the experience accumulated in the Lame project be useful for the ogg project (GPSYCHO,...) ? Couldn't Lame and ogg cooperate ? they already do. we all work for the same company, and for the same goals. icecast, ogg, lame, and some other stuff are all part of the

haven't used those 2 earlier versions of Winamp for ages. So why would Nullsoft (or whoever it is) abandon Fraunhofer for Nitrane? Nitrane is based heavily on AMP. Or more accurately, it started as AMP. It was supposedly rewritten and nitrane was "better". In any case, Playmedia sued

In mp3 audio it's 1000 bits per second, in Microsoft's media formats it's 1024 bits per second mark told me it was so they could say they could say they took the same amount of space (128kbps) even though they squeezed more data in there. the cheaters. jack. -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list

I don't understand this? Did the physics change, or the human ear/brain? No. They did not. But the research that the psychoacoustics most encoders used is most likely wrong. Monty has spent a lot of time researching psychoacoustics for vorbis, and has found lots of new research that showed

wich stupidness are you reffering to? Hahahah :) There's lots of stupid things that mp3 does. It's just an old model designed under considerations that aren't always valid anymore. Mark has said a few times that there are several rather obvious things you could change that may increase
