Hi
Maybe this is old news, but I just read that the new "iTunes-killer" Spotify (http://www.spotify.com/en/ ) uses Ogg Vorbis (q5, ~160 kb/s) for their streaming service. (reference: http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/soundquality ) Nice to see that they're using an open source encoder!  regards Magnus -------------------- XLD // FLAC // LAME

Well I've amazed myself by starting to pay for Spotify premium. Never thought I would but there you go.
So if there are more people like me than previously realised then maybe the doomsayers are wrong. Cannot say I have noticed a difference between the Q5 of the free service and the Q9 of the premium but perhaps they haven't got round to upgrading my choice of tunes yet. It has become even more mad popular since they implemented the download to phone extension and the free service has been invite only for months. In recognition of the nice folks on this site who have helped me out for free I's like to offer my this months free invites to the first HA member to drop me a PM with their e-mail address. Please check out if your territory is covered by a UK invite or are comfortable setting p a proxy. Spotify Cheers |
