Ogg sounds OK, would just be a pain to re-encode everything.

128kbps is bearable... I guess it would depend on the encoder... I've heard really bad 128kbps quantization noise, and I've heard pretty quiet ones as well... rave, techno, and heavy metal sound fine at 128kbps... but classical music just sounds fuzzy. 192kbps for classical music (or anything with clean piano, guitar or string instruments) should be the minimum.
I think the built in mp3 player is fine... it just lacks a few things:
-EQ (even just a basic 3-band)
-proper playlist...not this folder grouping crap
-control playback via hardware buttons/jogdial with flip closed
-built-in ID3 tag editor |

Has no-one tried encoding at 64kbps with mp3pro? Sounds pretty much the same as when i did my files @ 128kbps standard, gets a song down to about 1.5mb

Hi people! Use variable bitrate MP3 encoding instead of constant bitrate. |

What's the advantage in using VBR?, does it save space?

Most MP3 encoders do VBR, it's in the settings. |

i use mp3pro can fit about 25 mins onto 16mb duo when encoded at a bitrate of 64, is perfect when u have a few minutes to kill. Still in need of 128mb duo. Has anyone tried putting anything like an episode of friends on it yet, what r the results with p800 playback?

Do you need a special encoder to create MP4 Video?

From what i've read up on, the P800 will play MP3pro music like all MP3 players will - but because it doesn't support the MP3pro improvements, the extra information is not used to improve the sound quality. Therefore playing a 64kbit MP3pro is like playing a 64kbit MP3 - no difference. |

Thanks guys for your sure help on this subject, is there any way to put mp3 music into my memory stick duo for my p800 without having a pc? and of course not going to wap, cause it might be so expensive, and for a mac user any idea as well? regards |
