Strungup Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Unusual to see ATRAC in there. http://www.soundexpert.info/coders256.jsphttp://www.soundexpert.info/coders105.jspAfter clicking a link or two I read this."???????, 16 ???????? 2006iTunes 7 inherited old aac encoder« Upgrade finished successfully | Main | SoundExpert blog got new look and feel »Continue to pay my old duties. This is about aac encoder from iTunes. As you probably noticed SE rating bars began to indicate min and max values (this is visible only on 192 kbit/s page because only those ratings are updated now). And it’s clearly seen now that iTunes (6.0) aac encoder, having pretty good overall rating around 6.00, has surprisingly low min value – around 3.5. This is because one of SE sound samples – glockenspiel – turned out to be a killer sample for that encoder. Even 320 kbit/s encoding has distinctly audible artifact. For those who want to listen, the sample is uploaded to dedicated thread at HA forum. Newly released iTunes 7 unfortunately uses exactly the same aac encoder. So the bug which can lead to audible artifacts on music with pure tones still persists." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgrado Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 ATRAC is getting beat up on those tests. They do seem to be somewhat outdated with using SS 1.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
