I would like to see quality as the number 1 priority, especially at higher
bitrates. Ease of code improvement and maintenance as the 2nd priority.
Speed as a very distant 3rd. Additional features not related to quality as
4th.
Has anyone found examples of music that are not transparent at 256k or
320k? I'm referring to transparent on a mid-range home stereo not a
high-end studio quality rig. (Mid-range to me is a Denon receiver and
Sennheiser 580 headphones. I don't want to start a debate about what is and
is not mid-range just wanted to be clear that I wasn't referring to
inexpensive soundcards and PC speakers.)
IF there are such musical selections and given that CDRs, CDR media and
large harddrives are becoming more affordable by the day - has any
consideration been given to extending the bitrate up to 384k and 440k? Do
the ISO specs allow for this? Could these bitrates be handled by widely
available MP3 players?
Thanks to all the LAME contributors. I have been very impressed by your
dedication and skills.
