Hi, the lowest quality ogg is roughly 64 kbps, but ogg uses a form of vbr (variable bit rate), so the overall quality becomes better. To my ears, a 64 kbps ogg sounds similar to a 128 kbps mp3.
In regards to line in, would you need to set the recording level for the external mic to a low level? or is it best to use an atenuated cable. thanks, Arthur. --- On Thu 12/22, Lysander < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Lysander [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 12:05:36 -0900 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Recording on the Braille note.
