Woo,
I'm on holidays!
Now I'll get some of that work done that I've been meaning to do
- update and release an mp3 encoder based on ISO sources. This
will basically be the work I did for the 8hz coder. I may just release it
as patch files for the ISO source code - no binaries or full source code
distributions. I think that's probably legal.
- play with cat'ing encoded mp3 files together. For those that
have been following this idea, if you encode a wav file (which is an exact
number of frames long) into an mp3, then decode the mp3 back to a wav
file, you end up with more samples than you start with! For example,
l3enc seems to always add about 8*1152 samples (when you decode the mp3 it
made). Where are these extra 8 frames going? I dunno. could be on the
front of the mp3 or on the back. Maybe they do some purposeful buffering
and offsetting (say, adding 0's to the start of any encoded file) - this
will mean that there will be a click if you start switching them together.
Anyone else who has a tinkering brain like me:- help me figure out what's
going on here.
later
mike
