hi mark! thanks for your thoughts.
yeah, i know about the "non-xiph-reference" encoder problems - i have run in to them before. ;-) thing is: i have ABXed FLAC/WAV vs. gtune3b2 @q6 and my success rate in distinguishing between them dropped to ~50-80% guessing probability. that means that gtune3b2 @q6 is transparent to me. whereas aotuvb5 is not... so i decided to not waste diskspace and wireless bandwidth (i only run a "b" WLAN). and yes, i do have a portable iRiver H320, which only has a 20GB disk in it. so compressing to vorbis/gtune3b2 allows me to put ~5x as much music in to the same space as FLAC - without seriously compromising quality. -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40694 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
