Kevin and list,
I've been doing some testing with the vorbis versus mp3 conversion last
night. With mp3s, you can go down to 96kbps and you start to hear the
compression. Knock it down to 80 and it sounds really compressed. With
Ogg-vorbis, you can knock it down to 80kbps and start to hear a little
compression, but it's not nearly as bad as it is on the mp3 side of things.
Because of how the different formats compress, ogg-vorbis compresses things
much further than mp3s and it still sounds good. It's kind of like the
difference between vhs and bayta formats. As I remember it, bayta was a
superior format but the recorders kept breaking down and vhs was the format
that was more popular. I can remember going in to video stores in the early
to mid 80s and seeing vhs tapes and a much smaller section for bayta. Hope
that helps.
Denny
