slowestborg Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well good for them if they do include it. But I highly doubt it'll make the final because it will be counter-productive to their 'Plays For Sure' campaign.

Sn1p3t Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Fine. Replace my comment for 96Kbps with 128Kbps. THAT I know many people will agree with. 128Kbps WMA = 160Kbps MP3 comparible to 192Kbps MP3. I know a lot of people who converted a large portion of their 128Kbps MP3 to 64KBps WMA and found no difference.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2004 I know a lot of people who converted a large portion of their 128Kbps MP3 to 64KBps WMA and found no difference. That's just the stupidest idea ever. They got lossy files from a lossy source. All that means is that they lost quality.

Bearded Kirklander Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 If they could put the Fast Fraunhoffer encoder in there, it would not be such a bad thing. Thankfully we have lots of options, like Audigrabber 1.83 (Free) with the Lame encoder, for instance. :) I use Music Match 7.5 and encoded all my legally bought CD's in 160 bit MP3 constant bit rate using the built in Fast Fraunhoffer encoder and found it a very good compromise. 128 was noticeably poorer quality, particularly on the highs, and I could not tell the difference between 160 and 192, at least with my semi-decent headphones. I found that LAME seems to work best at 192 and seems to sound just about the same as the 160 bit MP3's I made with Fraunhoffer. Some music sounds a bit better in one format, while other types of music can sound better in the other, but dozens of hours of intense ear phone listening brought me to the conclusion that it's not worth the effort to test any further. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/211963-wmp-10-will-include-a-mp3-encoder/page/2/#findComment-584482218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnV Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Fine. Replace my comment for 96Kbps with 128Kbps.

I know a lot of people who converted a large portion of their 128Kbps MP3 to 64KBps WMA and found no difference. Depends on the MP3 encoder of course, but at least in Lame MP3 encoder's case that is not true. WMA9 standard really isn't a very high quality audio codec at 128kbps. WMA9 is better at 64kbps though than mp3 but still not very good compared for example to AAC-HE. http://www.rjamorim.com/test/multiformat128/results.html http://www.rjamorim.com/test/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/211963-wmp-10-will-include-a-mp3-encoder/page/2/#findComment-584482788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ev0| Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 well.. not new.. i've already tried it 2 month ago approximately (Beta version) but i still don't like WMP.. :no: really slow starting.. i prefer Foobar 2000 (www.foobar2000.org) and if u want to rip cds use FreeRipIt.. simple and good.. :yes: this is much much better than the beta... and it is new, so shut up. *edit* and it starts faster than foobar for me.
