Thanks. Can you remember what this software was ?
Yes to "can't really tell the difference". A lot of the music streams I
listen to are almost certainly re-compressing mp3's and its usually
"good enough". But I'm thinking of VBR. Mp3's can be joined together if
the frame boundary is taken into account. Although if that technically
makes a final joined file "VBR" I'm not sure yet.

Subject: Re: [Savonet-users] Joining together multiple mp3's with vary
bitrates without transcoding ?
I can't say I've done this with liquadsoap, but I did find some
software that would stream untranscoded mp3s to icecast that worked
great for a few days but choke on certain mp3s. I could never work out
exactly which ones but icecast didn't like the sudden format changes. I
resigned myself to just transcoding the mp3s to a high bitrate and I've
been doing that for years and I cannot tell the difference really....

Hi,
I'm using Liquidsoap. I have some DJ mixes (originally from C90 tape) that vary
in bitrate between each file. I could have a separate mount point (to icecast)
for each mix but want to create a radio station like format with each mix
playing one after another (with a jingle between each one or over quiet parts).
So is there a way of doing that; playing one mix after another, with bitrate
varying sometimes, without transcoding ? Looking at it I don't think there is
but thought I'd ask anyway.
Cheers
Michael
