I do not have this running anywhere and will listen to whatever format it's in. (transcoding such as this will always degrade the audio quality as you're converting from one lossey compression to another lossey compression and they are lossey in different ways, throwing out different things.
I just renamed an mp3 to ogg and WinAmp didn't play it. It might need a slight modification to gnump3d to understand the change in format and change the extension passed to the client. Perhaps a new OGG MP3 transcode option. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDcOsjTYuromfymuQRAhPgAJ9YQdVP8qG0p7Ke3JwoprKFlI8SfQCfetBK 4J96LjbIbPFXl1HESygEqkY= =K9Vj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnump3d-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnump3d-users
