The Sinner Doth repent

[1kyle]

Having spent a bit of the morning at the computer (It's snowing outside so I can't do any photography, Gardening etc etc) I decided to have another go at making some sense of some of the new advances in MP3 technology

Anyway I tried converting some tracks of fairly easy Classical music (Corelli--no huge dynamic ranges etc in it) from WAV to MP3 @ 320 using the latest stable LAME converter.

Here's the parameters

Actually it compared OK against the 320 ATRAC plus. It seems that the encoding mechanisms have improveed considerably since my last foray into MP3's.

Now to see if this will play on the RH10

Converting using the SS converter to change to MP3 doesn't seem as good as using the LAME encoder.

So I'll try some other settings and mess around with VBR / CBR etc and different music -- but certainly it's vastly improved from when I attempted this stuff before.

Cheers
