Hello All
I have not been keeping with the latest goings on in the last few years. Is these a consensus on an audio format vs file size that is mostly transparent? I have always used V2 with LAME. (I still remember the --r3mix option!) Currently I encoded a bunch of stuff with -V4 for portable usage and it has been great. Is there any other file formats or options that give the smallest file size that is mostly transparent? I know mostly transparent is not a scientific analysis but I am unsure if there is a happy medium now? Thanks in advance. |
