Raining_again Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Any of you guys know any good software to convert mp3s to ogg's?
Guest Jordan Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Why though? Mp3 is a much better format especially at higher bit rates. But if you really wanted to, i use Goldwave for all my audio converting crap.
Raining_again Posted March 12, 2006 Author Posted March 12, 2006 Thats grand, thanks for the help. Total linux n00b, but i refuse to use windows more than i have to :P
Mr_Odwin Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Why though? Mp3 is a much better format especially at higher bit rates. But if you really wanted to, i use Goldwave for all my audio converting crap. Especially at higher bitrates? At higher bitrates there is little difference between any codec and I, like Blackfox, find ogg to be better at lower bitrates. Audacity can open ogg files. I would save them as a wav and then run them through LAME. But you're going to lose some quality along the way.
Guest Jordan Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I usually copy stuff at 192kbps or variable. I don't use OGG simply because its an arse to tag and winamp takes ages reading them. Odwin hates me everything i seem to type he has something nasty to say!
Raining_again Posted March 12, 2006 Author Posted March 12, 2006 Yeah, i figured i'd lose some quality with conversion. Glorified dinner ladies do have their uses then thanks a lot.
Blackfox Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Odwin hates me everything i seem to type he has something nasty to say! Its not just Odwin, its everyone.
Ice9 Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I don't understand why your title says .mp3s is better than .ogg but then you want to convert them
Mr_Odwin Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I don't understand why your title says .mp3s is better than .ogg but then you want to convert them The thread title is ".mp3 to .ogg".
Bogbas Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Actually ogg's are better than mp3's They give the same quality with smaller file size.
RoadKill Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Why would you want to transcode? Transcoding is a Bad Thing.
Sanchez Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Do the world a favour and never ever share those files.
