Ogg

[Neomorpheus]

I'm new to ogg files so what's the best program for ripping cds to ogg files?

B)

 

[Evil_Cartman]

dBpoweramp ,search for it on google

 

[Mofokubik]

Cdex rips cds into many different formats quite well...

How about converting mp3 to ogg. do you loose much quality in the encoding?

Let's put it this way: you won't be able to gain any quality.
You don't have to lose "quality" though. Properly encoded you'll get the same quality in OGG as your MP3, only at a lower bitrate and thus with a lower filesize.

Plus the GP OGG player runs at 66MHz, saves you quite some battery power as well IIRC.

You always lose quality when you encode a lossy format to another lossy format. With MP3-OGG conversion, it is less noticable, but the quality does decrease.

a friend have analyzed the program with an hex editor and he says that it runs at 132 MHz, not 66 like the autor says in the .txt! i asked him to convert it to 33 MHz, so he modified it and... it works perfect!

anyone can confirm if gpogg player runs at 132 or 66 MHz?

he work at 132MHz just for the high bitrate OGG file.

ectlion, make sure you have the latest version then.

Some of the early test versions are running @ 133 but the newest IS running @ 66.
