add "MP3+V" to the title of this forum Options

[cbuchner1]

so the board name will be "MP3/MP3Pro/MP3+V"

There's a new technology out there. It's called Plus-V (or MP3+V).

It follows a similar approach than MP3 Pro. It creates an MP3-compatible baselayer bitstream and adds another layer of proprietary high frequency coding. Of course this is NOT high quality.

What they do is a parametric approach to encode noise power in high frequency subbands and separately encoding additional harmonics.

I'd love to hear how it will sound. Check out their website.

Unfortunately, they got patents on this.

If you have any questions about PlusV, please ask them at http://www.plusv.org/ instead of here - at least if you want to have a proper answer. I noticed this question purely by luck, and it could well have been left unanswered.

It's definitely nice to have a Plus-V developer here! I hope you don't mind if we discuss the format and its quality implications of plus-V here. ;-) This board was meant to be a place for discussing a variety of audio formats.

But it's good to know whom to ask when detailed technical questions arise.

Someone on the OGG-Vorbis mailinglist criticized that your library links to FFTW - which is GPL'ed software. Strictily speaking, you would have to make your software GPL as well. Maybe you better get an independent and free ("Public Domain") FFT implementation.
