Today I ripped and converted a CD (Led Zeppelin - IV) to both MP3 (LAME 3.96.1 APE) and Vorbis (aoTuV b4b q6). And I was really surprised to see that the track with the highest bitrate in MP3 (267 kbps) has the lowest bitrate in Vorbis (182 kbps) and the track with the lowest bitrate in MP3 (224 kbps) hast the highest bitrate in Vorbis (207 kbps). So it's exactly vice versa! How can that be? I mean, psycho-acoustic models shouldn't be that different, should they?

The mp3 format has an issue called sfb21 bloating. Look it up. (google?)

gwen stefani - bubble pop electric.. encoded with vorbis @ q 0 jumps up to ~112kbps in the beginning... so yea.. its just differences in the psy-models (sorry, cant give a more technical answer
 )

I've found some correlations between Lame and Musepack's psymodels: for the majority of cases, they tend to manage the bitrate almost equally.
If I'll have enough time during the week, I'll post some details. -------------------- Infrasonic Quartet + Sennheiser HD650 + Microlab Solo 2 mk3.

It can allocate as many bits as it needs, because it's a true VBR coder. Listen to a track with an accoustic guitar in it or other percussive instruments like castanets, which is also used to fine tune a lot of psychoacoustics model for pre-echo, etc. -------------------- College student/IT Assistant
