MP3 has a VBR scheme as well, there are actually two different ones with the
new-ish 3.97 LAME encoder.

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.

What is "the lowest quality" og? Becaseu the lowest quality MP3 at 44KHZ
is <br>32 kbps, a far cry from 128. Anyway, to answer your questions the
<br>braillenote does support stereo recording and I don't see why you
couldn't <br>record using hte line in component.<br>----- Original

the reason why I'd like ot see ogg <br>> support on the bn.<br>><br>> 1.
Can the braille note accept devices that send a line level signal, i.e,
<br>> keyboards, other radios, etc on the microphone jack?<br>> 2. Is this
jack only a mono input?<br>> A pc is probably better for this type of
thing though, but just curious as <br>> it seems the pac mate can do
stereo recordings from other devices.<br>><br>> Now, the reason I like ogg
files a lot. As things stand, a high quality <br>> recording (one at 44.1
khz, 16 bit), will take 5 mb in mono, and 10.5 mb <br>> in stereo when
recording the radio, per minute.<br>> Now, with an ogg file, at the lowest
quality, which still does sound very <br>> acceptable, 1 minute only takes
up a tiny 600 kb!<br>> Big difference? Even a standard 128 kbps mp3 takes
roughly 1 mb per <br>> minute, so you can see why I'd like to see
compressed format support added <br>> to the voice recorder.<br>><br>>
Cant wait to get my hands on an mPower though, I love the responsiveness
<br>> of the radio, and I can see that the database is going to be very
cool.<br>><br>> Thanks,<br>> Arthur.<br>><br>><br>>
