Ogg compresses better, sounds better, and is GPL 100%. http://www.phataudio.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=134&mode=thread&order=1&thold=0 The above link (copy paste onto one line) is a comparrison of OGG, MP3 and AAC formats for those intestested. As for yout batch conversion, well I wrote a bash script for that (attached). It does have it's limits, but it did the trick for my mp3's, and I still use it on a regular basis. OGG works these days with quality factors, and not bitrates like other formats. It does end up as a variable bitrate though, so it can be compared, as qualiry 4 OGG is basically 128kb/s .. which is in my experience just as good sounding as an MP3 at 192kb/s, but half the size roughly. You see, OGG is like MP3, it's an audio compression technique, but it's compression technique differs totally to that of MP3 or others. More info on ogg at www.vorbis.com Enjoy ;-) Greetings Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"
