Thanks in advance

gday...


HE - AAC.

if it don`t work for you.. i suggest
looking at ogg or mp3pro.

in the days mp3pro was new..
ogg did bypass mp3pro..

i haven`t tried out the latest pro v.
but last time i checked.. ogg had bells
beneath 96. so try mp3pro instead..

HE - AAC.. Mp3pro.. Ogg Vorbis.

ps. roberto`s 64 test.. shows the same..

At the moment, HE-AAC is considered the best quality option for 64 kbps. Vorbis is also a very good option.

However, i don't know many players for PDA that can actually play it.

You need to tell us which formats your PDA supports before any of us can give you a definative answer as to what format you should be using. Most PDAs don't support MP3Pro, HE-AAC or Ogg Vorbis.

If you have to stick with MP3, Fraunhoffer. It's much better than Lame at low bitrates.

I don't know about 64kbps, but this has definately been proven incorrect for 128kbps. Check these results.

For 64kbps, FhG is indeed theoretically better than Lame, because it implements IS coding.

Oops, I had forgotten about that.

Ogg can be played on pocketpc with PocketMVP for years.
Last I heard that faad support was planned to be implemented in PocketMVP, theoretically making it possible to listen to HE-AAC somewhere in the future.
