well, i was going to start re-encoding at ogg q4 but stopped because who knows when it'll be out. for my imp550, i don't really care to have lower quality files and use --aps. for the ifp390 i'm snagging from dlp, i'd like to pare down the bitrate but still maintain listenability. the imp550 is supposed to get ogg support by the end of dec (priority #1 now that the ifp5xx support ogg). not sure about the ifp3xx series ogg support, though. i think it's 4th priority now. although, once they support ogg with one player, it can't be that hard to implement support for the others. perhaps i should just start re-encoding @ q4 ogg in anticipation and hope ogg support happens soon! no aac support in the works, though.
along the ogg line of thought, would it be better to use the standard ogg encoder in cdex or oggdrop? i know oggdrop is supposed to be better tuned (although it provides slightly higher bitrates than standard ogg encoder) but i'm not sure if it's tuned at q4. i don't think it is, as the bitrate for my cdex ogg encoder @ q4 is 128kbps, same as oggdrop, while q5 and q6 have higher bitrates in oggdrop. any ideas?
EDITwhat about wma pro? iriver supports wma files. would that make it support wma pro, as well? that looks like a worthwhile route to pursue.

Originally posted by blessingx It's interesting to see differences based on complexity, etc. I really do think r3mix can still has some uses, though it's possible -apn will finally replace it. In the ~128-160 range Ogg (q4-5) and AAC (QT), if possible, should really be looked at also. Matheis, any of your iRivers support the former? |
