Which is the best lossless codec?, Discussion thread Options

[kotrtim]

1. LOWER COMPRESSION BUT HIGHER CPU USAGE
2. NO COMPRESSION MODE TO SELECT

EDIT : But compared with Monkey's Audio, WMA still use more power.

WMA = 34.0MB = ~13% CPU Usage
Monkey's Audio - High = 33.7MB = ~7% CPU Usage

I think it would be a good idea to add version numbers. The things said about speed and options are tied to certain versions.
Example: wavpack was not so fast before the recent beta versions, some other codec might add hybrid/lossy from a future version on.

The table is meant to always reflect the latest version available.

I understand that this would mean updating    once in a while, but at least one could see from the version numbers when this would become necessary.

OK, but still, sometimes there's a version upgrade without any meaningful change that would justify updating the table.

I would prefer that, when somebody notices there is something outdated in the table, post here and then I'll upload a new version.

Certainly people who don't care about hybrid encoding will not take this feature into account when evaluating lossless codecs, so I don't think it is necessary to diminish its place on the comparison table.

(To me, for instance, hybrid encoding is a great selling point, and I think the table would be less helpful if it ignored this capability.)

Yes. The table's purpose is precisely to allow people to compare codecs based only on the features that matter to them.



So, nobody here willing to help me with TTA features and filling the blanks in the table? :B

Just uploaded a new table with ReplayGain information, BTW.
