Is it possible to play freeformat mp3 at 640 kbps in foobar? If yes, how? If not, why?
I don't actually intend to use something like this, I'm just collecting some information for my college project. Many thanks. This post has been edited by Wintershade: Nov 15 2005, 22:35 -------------------- Only the best is good enough.

At 640kbps, there is no sensible reason to use MP3. Lossless is trivially larger here, and much less lossy.
Freeformat is a non-standard encoding for MP3. There is no reason that I've read to use it. At all. Other encodings are more space-efficient, and other encodings have freeformat capability as part of the specification. The only reason to use MP3 is for backwards compatibility, and freeformat breaks that. -------------------- (atrix|(fb2k->e-mu 0404 usb|audio 8 dj))->hd280|jvc ha-fx35-b

QUOTE (Canar @ Nov 28 2006, 06:32)  Freeformat is a non-standard encoding for MP3. Small correction: freeformat IS COMPLIANT with the mp3 standard. Decoders are required to be able to decode it up to 320kbps, but decoding higher bitrate freeformat streams is not mandatory. Practically, it means that higher than 320kbps, only a few decoders support it. But in no way this is not compliant with the standard. |
