It doesn't improve a lot...
It seems in fact that the problem I observe is related to the process 
priority. Under Windows NT4, it works better (but still not perfect) if I 
assign a high priority to the WinAmp process.

[MP3 ENCODER] winamp quality

2000-04-28 Thread Pierre Hugonnet

Hello,


I use WinAmp (2.62) to play my mp3 files encoded by lame (3.70), and I find it rather 
bad. The mp3 files are not faulty, since they sound good with the Windows Media 
Player. But Windows Media Player doesn't have playlists, so I'd like to use WinAmp 
anyway: are there some particular settings that could improve the decoding ?

Thanks,

Pierre

what's wrong w/ winamp's mp3 decoding? i think it is pretty much compliant
with FhG spec.

Hi, Pierre:

PH I use WinAmp (2.62) to play my mp3 files
PH encoded by lame (3.70), and I find it rather
PH bad ... are there some particular settings
PH that could improve the decoding ?

The easiest and fastest thing to try, IMHO, is to
use in_mp3.dll from 2.22 version of WinAMP, which
is based on Fraunhofer's decoding engine. One can
download it from Dmitry Kutsanov's site:
http://www.chat.ru/~dkutsanov/in_mp3.zip

Personally, I like it better then original Nitrane
decoder.

Greetings,

Hello,

(for a friend) i installed winamp 2.6x on a Win98 System (no winamp
installed before on the system). LAME VBR-MP3 sounds very bad. On my own WIN
NT system (serveral winamp versions are installed before), the same
mp3-files sounds good.

Does anyone have an idea??? 

Anselm

Some problems like 'stop  go' : some very short interruptions during play (even when 
winamp is the only running application)

I've found Winamp sounds pretty bad if you enable MMX decoding.

I suggest just sticking with Pentium/Pentium2 decode doesn't seem to affect
cpu utilisation.
