just visited Apple.com and there's a new version of iTunes available that boasts lossless encoding? anyone know what encoder is being used for this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the fuck does that mean |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it QDesign?.. the one they use for quicktime? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no quality loss, but still smaller filesize |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure it doesn't say any where on the site |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe VIVA LOS BIODOME! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's apple's own lossless codec |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nine one! thanks for the info, downloading it now. I should be getting a 2nd generation ipod soon so i might start re-encoding my music. |
||||||||
|
|

oscillik > the colour of iTunes application & files icons. it was blue for iTunes 2, purple for iTunes 3. purple was my favourite... =) i don't like that green that much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
>pantalaimon lucky you mate!!! :) >uzim oh right i get you yeah i know......i don't care really what colour the icons are.....i do like the green though |
||||||||

i love the new party shuffle which tell you which tracks are coming up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at what quality do people import their music in itunes? I've set mine to 192 kps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh that's pretty cool too also i think they've optimized the visualizations engine - seems to run faster now on my iBook :) it'll be scorching on a PowerBook! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the lossless encoding creates files at something like 900 kps but the file size is much bigger than aac |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
192 kbps for me too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh ok, looks like i wont be using that then i'll stick with 160Kbps AAC for now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm just about to try out the feature where you can join the tracks together for seamless transition from track to track (no gap). It somehow still keeps them as individual files. |
||||||||

Are iPods the best thing if you want a reasonable amount of diskspace for an MP3 player? I mean at LEAST 10GB. iPod the only thing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? i was under the impression that it encodes it as one big file?? can you confirm if its separate files? >mappatazee no i think there are others, but i don't think they come anywhere close to the iPod's size for such a large capacity *please don't quote me on this, i'm not too clued up on music players* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you need quicktime 6.5.1 to use losless and it increases the quality of AAC encoding. Its available to download now form apple |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn i typed that wrong i meant it's PHYSICAL size, not hard drive size |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"was under the impression that it encodes it as one big file?? can you confirm if its separate files?" bugger, its one file. oh well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, well size as juxtaposed against capacity, I didn't get confused until you mentioned it :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
>pantalaimon ah shit i would have used it if it kept it as each individual file thanks for confirming though >mappatazee ah, sorry for added to confusion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also if you have a PC, do you have to get a PC formatted one? or are they all compatable? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(BTW, 50% size reduction is standard for good lossless audio compression algorithms. Also, ogg trumps you biznatches) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure i think all the new iPods now are cross platform ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh it seems that the new ones are all cross platform compatible Mac and PC |
