Hi, Everybody,

This poll (as some other) is created to collect some data of general tendency in use of audio codecs for a different purposes and contents.


Basicly it contains 3 following questions:

1º - What bitrate do You encode a music to MP3 at?
2º - What bitrate do You encode a music to post-MP3 codecs ([HE-]AAC, Vorbis, Opus and other) at?
3º - What bitrate do You use for a such purposes like encoding a speech, streaming (radio,podcasting) with a post-MP3 codecs like (HE-)AAC, Vorbis, Opus and other.


Feel free to comment your particular preferences.

Thank You.

I reported mp3 at V2 and no use of other codecs/bitrates in rest of the survey. But there was no way to indicate that I'm only using mp3 V2 for portable devices and where for home use I use FLAC format. Just noting that the meaning of "what bitrate used" could be quite different if asking for use in portables or automobile vs use in general.

Most of us have a lossless storage home with today HDD capacities. See 2013 codec poll
I think there is no need to figure out that.


Quite surprised that, yet, 32 kbps audio is on demand. People wouldn't mind about a decent video+audio streaming on a mobile devices. As for me, youtube videos (low quality) aren't playable on mobile bandwidth here.

Aren't playable because of not enough bandwidth or high traffic billing?
Here for example, in good field conditions, I have enough bandwidth to play even 320kbps streams on my mobile with no problems at all (or YouTube videos FWIW), but I have a plan with only 1Gb/month of data included, so high bitrates are still not an option for me, not on long terms at least.

And speaking about "fidelity", there is a local radio station that streams the matches of my town's football club on 32 Kbps WMA... wink.gif

Frankly, I've found MP3 and FLAC to be sufficient for all my encoding purposes. Sure, MP3 has a lot of technical problems but my ears can't hear most of them at higher bitrates. And you still can't beat its portability.
I couldn't choose my MP3 setting (-V0+ or ~290kbps in halb27's implementation) so just went with 260.
