> OGG file quality?
Bookmark topic
Thank you *everyone*!
I think that the static was at random intervals, though I wasn't able to skip back just a few seconds in each affected track to try...
...which brings me to my next point; I'm using OGGplay .91beta, so will definitely 'upgrade' to .96...
...and I shall definitely try cdex instead of dbPoweramp...
...whilst I tried encoding at 96Kbps, but was unsatisfied with the quality. Granted, 192Kbps may be a little high, particularly since the file sizes are typically 1MB per minute!!! So, I shall encoding at some middle ground.
Thanks again everyone...I'll post back when I've got this lot sorted.
(And Brandon shipped my 128MB MSDuo on 10/09/03...YIPPEE!)

Update:
I've installed OGGplay 0.96 (over 0.91);
I encoded at 128Kbps, giving 4:24min track at 3.8MB, still a little steep (instead of 196Kbps);
I kept additional PC activity to a minimum whilst ecoding (using my P800/USB to surf while waiting);
Kept with dbPoweramp;
Keep P800 activity to minimum during playback.
Pleased to report that as a result of one/all of the above, playback is of good quality and uninterrupted by 'stitching'.
I'm a happy camper!

All my OGG's were encoded at 64kps (equivilant to 128kps MP3). Id recommend that setting unless you are a real audiophile.
I think you should redo ur existing oggs, as it doesn't sound they encoded properly. I've about 70+ on my 128mb MSD and they all sound damn good

Difficult to tell - yes I am a bit picky on the audio file quality, tho' maybe the tracks I tried (some Chemical Brothers, Shamen & Moby) weren't the best - some Moby stuff is sampled from vinyl etc...
I'll see how I get on, and I migth re-encode if I have to (as it only takes ca. 30 mins per CD).
What *really* bugs me though is the fact that you can't copy .OGG files through the syncstation, and that you have to rename them to .WAV or something; no matter, ordered a 7-in-1 card USB card reader this morning for £16, which should do my digicam's CF cards nicely too.

I copy ogg files to documents\unfiled on my MS. Why not try this? Granted, the copy process is slow! Also I have tried OGG myself again and I agree you can sample a lower bit rate than MP3 for similar quality.

64Kbps ogg is very good quality. Surprised to see people encodeing at 196kbps what loosers.
You should transfer Oggs to the other folder under mediea files and restart ogg player for the phone to find it.

a far better audio file format that the old mp2 format, it provides much better quality so for example a 96kbit ogg sounds about the same as a 160kbit mp3, consequently you can encode at a lower rate so the files are smaller. also the ogg format is patent free and open source so developers dont need to pay royalties. all in all a far better format than both mp3 and wma is just ugly.
