RE: Victor Reader Stream or Book Cents

Hi It all depends on what those new features are and how important they are, perhaps someone on here can tell us what those new features may be? The thing which puts me off the booksense is the battery time, it only lasts 12 hours and doesn't stop using battery time even when it is switched off,

a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

Hi all! I have a question which is making me curious. when I'm converting wave to mp3 in a convertion program or so, I can see something called joint stereo, and I can also choose if I would like to have it in joint stereo or just stereo. my question is, what's the difference between joint

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

High George, Joint stereo is, like you have a pare of speakers, but you have a mono block amplifier on each one. Regular stereo, is having those same pare of speakers hooked up to a stereo amplifier. The joint stereo, gives better stereo channel separation then the regular stereo. Hope this

As a footnote to this I'm sure I've read somewhere in the LAME documentation that Joint Stereo should be used for encoding at variable and lower bit rates so perhaps your explanation of joint stereo below goes some way to explaining this statement smile. On 27/12/2009, at 1:53 AM, DJ DOCTOR P

Pros and cons of varible bit rate

The subject is a question, not a statement. I have been uploading Main Menu archives as a 128KBPS MP3 file. I see that many people recommend 192KBPS, but there a parts of the show that really don't need that high a bit rate. In fact, I have also read that encoding at too high a bit rate can

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel separation. I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct. All the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded

Re: Pros and cons of varible bit rate

I suppose it comes down once again to personal preference, I've been using varriable bit rates for youears. As I understand it, encoding with a varriable bit rate takes a lot longer as the encoder looks at every sample of the song thus deciding what bit rate it should be encoded at, silence

Re: Pros and cons of varible bit rate

I've never seen any evidence to suggest that encoding at too high a bit rate can result in unwanted artifacts though I do understand that to broadcast in high bit rate is obviously more challenging in terms of available bandwidth and so this may be a consideration. As to the question in

Re: Pros and cons of varible bit rate

The only point I'd add to Dane's notes is that I have read advice around not setting your variable floor too low. I'd suggest for music that you set the floor to 128kbps rather than the suggestion below of 16kbps. Regards. Kevin E-mail: kevin.llo...@sky.com - Original Message -

Re: Decoding Audible files

These procedures would have been more interesting to me in the old days when I only had one player in addition to the Audible Manager that would play Audible files. Now that I have four players, including my N82 cell phone, that will play Audible content, I wouldn't go to all that trouble.

RE: Pros and cons of varible bit rate

Also, There are devices, even modern ones, which don't reliably, or indeed at all, cope with VBR. The Olympus machines, even the DM-520 are a case in point - so use VBR with care if you want to guarantee everyone and everything can play your MP3 files. Regards Tim Tim Noonan Director, Vocal
