Ok, standard disclaimer. mp3 is bad, ogg vorbis good! ;-) I guess there are real world reasons to use mp3 (mainly availability) but they are quickly going away. If possible I think one should opt for vorbis. The latest round of tests: http://www.rjamorim.com/test/multiformat128/results.html suggest vorbis is also superior to mp3 when the best encoders are used. Ogg ogg ogg. /Robert s?ndagen den 30 maj 2004 09.58 skrev Jos Laake: > R Parker wrote: > > Hi Jos, > > > > I use lame.
