I am so sold on this whole OGG low-bitrates is better than MP3 thing..<\/p>\n
I recently had occasion to encode a boatload of voice samples to several codecs, including mp3, GSM, ADPCM and low-bitrate WAV. Much to my suprise, the codec that ended up being <\/p>\n
a: The easiest to impliment on a windows CE handheld (code snippet below)
\nb: The best sounding with the smallest files<\/p>\n
was OGG.<\/p>\n
So now I’m ripping a bunch of CDs that I’ve been meaning to rip for oh, say, about 6 years now, and I’m ripping them to 160kbit OGG. Enyc will be pleased.<\/p>\n
Code snippet (I wish I could credit everyone here, but I don’t even know who all worked on it – I modified code I found at PocketOgg<\/a> is located, along with the static libs you need to link against, at sheer.us<\/a> for anyone who wants to do a oggplayer. Note that this code becomes the controlling thread, so you’ll need to do some thread management – because I was using it inside my CEShell, a program I wrote to handle thread management, this wasn’t a problem for me. Anyway, I hope it’s useful to someone someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am so sold on this whole OGG low-bitrates is better than MP3 thing..
