Installed just fine. Has anyone had experience with the quality of these mp3s? They max out at 256 and I don't think they are VBR.My question is why doesn't Sony provide easy access to this program add-on? Weird.

silvermark Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) Yeah too bad they max at 256 Great find though thanks. Now we don't have to wait until mid-may for this feature.[EDIT: Sorry, stupid me, I meant 256 not 320] Edited April 10, 2005 by silvermark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1980 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Why would you someone need mp3's at more than 320? At 600 you can have lossless.Anyway, how does this encoder compare with LAME? I assume it is a Fr one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 The reason why it caps out at 320kbps is that's the maximum a Sony mp3 compatible device will handle.p.s. Thanks for the heads-up, indeego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 The reason why it caps out at 320kbps is that the standard for layer-III audio caps out at 320kbps. Anything above that is nonstandard, noncompliant, and can't be expected to play on hardware decoders that do follow the standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigolo Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) Thanks you very much indeego and JoRuediger !installing this add-on has finally solved my problem :importing CDs in Sonicstage 3.0 did not work , and the "CD Importing Format" was completly blank; burning with SB 2.0 did not work too.Maybe my old add-on was not properly installed, though I have tried many times.btw, I had the update database problem in SS 3.0 too, solved by re-registering MDAC and JET.With this add-on , all is working fine now in SS 3.0 and SB 2.0(desktop : Windows XP Pro /SP2, laptop: Sony VGN-A115B Windows XP Home / SP1)Thanks again.

silvermark Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 The SS MP3 encoder maxes out at 256 (not 320, sorry about the mistake). Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 That's odd. The Mp3 encoder of SonicStage 3.1 JE version is capped at 320kbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
