Hello! I realized that ofcourse I agree with Micheal that asking the Yello office would be quite silly. I'm quite shure that they would say no. About Dieter and Boris being on this list :-) I doubt it, although that would be very cool! I say as one of you did to them: KEEP UT THE GOOD WORK!! (Is there any way to check how many that is on this list and their mail adresses?) The best way is to not ask anybody about the FTP server, I think. I vote for the FTP server! I have some rare songs that it could be nice to share. About encoding, I know a program where you an encode the bitrate up to 320 kbps. Although I havn't heard a very great difference. It also converts Wav to Mp3 and Mp3 to Wav. You can find it at www.dbpoweramp.com, it's called Music Converter. Chris

As I said in another mail Im a quality finder and Ive done a lot of tests about quality with MP3 compression The principe of MP3 is to compress original file keeping good quality or less quality depending the rate you take for it. I can say with experience that rate between 160 to 192 is a very good compression for quality/file size. Why should we take much file size for same quality ? I use LAME encoder and the compression quality is the best Ive found for a very good speed action. I recommend LAME with RazorLAME using bitrate between 160 and 192. See my other mails to have the optimum compression rate. Regards, GREG
I use a program called Musicmatch Jukebox www.Musicmatch.com . It's easy to use. When you put the CD in the drive it can go out and lookup the CD info in the CDDB if you have a connetion to the internet so you don't have to type all of album info in. I don't remember how high it alows you to encode at but I use it at 192k and am happy with the quality of the sound. The freeware version only lets you encode up to 96k I think. It's very worth the money.

I use a program called Musicmatch Jukebox... When you put the CD in the drive it can go out and lookup the CD info in the CDDB if you have a connetion to the internet so you don't have to type all of album info in. Software made for lazy people will sacrifice either quality or functionality first.
It's very worth the money. No, it isn't, when one considers the following facts:
ExactAudioCopy is free. LAME is free. RazorLAME is free. MusicMatch is a howling piece of shit. ... becuase MusicMatch uses a deprecated encoder, more akin to XingTech's. It throws away a lot of information during compression instead of dealing with it. You get a faster encode, but with less information, which is to say, lower quality. Yes, sure, it's compressing /what's left/ at 160kbps or 192 kbps or whatever, but again, you aren't getting /everything/.
It's easy to use. Just because it is easy doesn't make it good.
EAC is fantastic as a ripper, AND it is easy. It'll rip-and-compress with the encoder of your choice, all of which makes it superior to MMJ. Again, I plug for OGG, which is superior [proven with listening tests]. It is also open and free. Read again my previously posted hyperlink that explains in Thompson/Frauenhofer's own words the fees involved with both encoding and decoding an MP3.
Isn't "Cleaner" the best encoder since they are the standard for video? On Saturday, September 14, 2002, at 06:17 PM, organism@hydrophilus.com wrote:

I know Cleaner is great for video so I assume they're great for audio too. I use iTunes, which uses Quicktime - works great for me.

That is so true. Epic just released the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo and they use Org for the music tracks. Sounds very clean and professional compared to the original UT. :) I had the stereo blasting! :D
