VaKo Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 http://www.mp3-tech.org/content/?Mp3%20Limitations Might want to consider FLAC, OGG or some other codec thats higher quality than MP3. 320kbps is a max for MP3, and if it is possible to push higher, probally not worth it... http://flac.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntman Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Dude, you really don't need to go past 320 kps in the mp3 format. Unless you have some really killer speakers, the odds are your ears won’t be able to tell the difference between the original cd and anything above 192 kps mp3. But why use mp3 when we have OGG. I personally use OGG at an average bitrate of 240 kps (even that’s almost over kill). For any ripping on windows use "exact audio copy" http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ it uses some cool techniques to pull perfect audio off of a bad cd or bad cd-rom drive. For any ripping under linux use "cdparanoia" As others have suggested if you really want an archival degree of quality, use a codec like FLAC that decodes to the same RAW audio bit for bit as the original. BTW: 600 kps mp3 would getting really close to the same size as the original wav file that you would be "compressing". So even if you could force an mp3 codec to use that bit rate you would just end up with a bigger file, worse sounding file than if you had just used FLAC.

almostageek Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Apple's loss less codec is pretty cool too if you dont mind using iTunes. I agree to, if you want the quality why not make a disc image of the CD and leave the files as is. 100% loss less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMP out puts 6.1 :D iChoonz does like stereo lol sounds crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 FLAC all the way, it will sound mint on most things. If you want more than that, use WAVs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentinel Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I really like CDEX [as was mentioned] for mp3 ripping it does a good job and is open source. Either that or LAME. The MPEG-1 Layer 3 spec does not allow for bitrates higher than 320. It's a technical limitation of the format, I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3 I don't know a lot about audio but I was reading more on wikipedia. Maybe check these out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc#Audio_format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless#Audio_compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I second CDex as being a quite awesome ripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodic Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 yeah ive used that before. also...windows media player 10 doesnt display bitrates correct. cos ive listend to a mp3 at home and wmp10 says its 320kbs and at school on wmp9 it says its like 400+ weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
