Ogg conversion question.

I was wondering, since you can convert poorly encoded mp3 songs into ogg.
(I've obviously tried and used the Audio Tester to check if they all passed, and they did pass.)

That should fix the stuttering problem no?

Indeed it should... stutter issue affects only MP3 files.

As additional information... can you give details about bitrate of source MP3 files and resulting OGG files, I mean what OGG quality was choosen in conversion?

And if you noticed loss of quality in resulting files.

I transcoded from 192 kbit lame mp3 to 128 kbit ogg and cannot hear any difference (with headphones)

Pretty much what BobbyQ said, except mine was a 160 bitrate mp3 to a 128 bitrate ogg.

And I also, did not hear any slight loss of quality at all. :]

PS. Blaze Media Pro is a verry handy program, it also acts as an audio tester because you can accually "hear" if any mp3 is crappy or not, as to being tricked into listening to a saposedly clear sounding mp3.

ManduChu, how does that testing work technically ?

I really love OGG format :D

Yea, sorry about my crappy example but...

In other media players, such as windows media player, winamp, etc. Poorly encoded or bad mp3 files sound perfectly fine.

But if you play them on Blaze Media Pro, you can accually "hear" how badly messed up the mp3 file is.

- how can "poorly encoded or bad mp3 files sound perfectly fine" ? Magic ?
- what is the difference between the output of Blaze Media Pro and any other player your mentioned ?

Beside of what BobbyQ have asked you... what and where is this audio tester function? I've installed Blaze media Pro version 7 and I can find it... or maybe I don't know how to use it.
