I did the comparison that's on xiph.org/flac/comparison.html. I can assure you, that's pretty much as good as it gets with current codecs. OptimFROG has filters for quite a lot of special cases, but still it can't compress much better than it does now, so I guess we're pretty much at the limit of what is possible. For a more comprehensive review of obscure codecs, take a look here: http://www.squeezechart.com/audio.html As you can see, the smallest file takes 1200 times longer to encode than FLAC's slowest setting, but improves only 6%. As you can see, that codec was made in 2007, so there has been no improvement in the last few years, and I don't expect any until quantum computing algorithms are developed :P _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
