eaac+ = he aac v2 which is the best low bitrate codec compared to ANY codec availabe till now .

@ 64 kbps and below it cannot be beaten by any of the codecs availabe ..




Thanks

then is the 64/128/192kbps of eAAC+ is better than 256/320(or more)kbps of other codecs like mp3, wma,ogg???

Best Quality : Exactly as Chester said, FLAC and Monkey's Audio are lossless, so they are the best by definition.

Most Ubiquitous : MP3

ogg is the same (as far as quality goes) as mp3.

AAC
@Vish add a poll

Poll Added.

is Ogg different from Ogg Vorbis ?
& for info Ogg Vorbis requires more bitrates for good music when compared to AAC

 

[infra_red_dude]

Personal exp: eAAC+ below 64kbps
AAC above 64kbps.

 

[vish786]

Read This... MPEG-4 AAC vs MP3 vs Ogg

AAC has to be above 160 kbps, but i'm yet doubtful about remaining higher AAC versions.

 

[gxsaurav]

I prefer WMA for computers & m4a AAC for phone

 

[vish786]

WMA again requires huge space thats the reason I didnt mention it.

isnt ogg vorbis a good replacement for mp3?I have my all songs(not all infact ) converted into ogg vorbis.
and does MIDI too be a option?

converting mp3 into ogg wont help, its gonna yield same mp3 quality ,if your converting them to ogg it should be a Clean Source. Its always recommended to convert a music from higher bitrate to low but not from lower bitrate to high of different format or same one.

 

[praka123]

and what about MIDI isnt it the lightest when made?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface, IPA: /ˈmɪdi/) is an industry-standard protocol that enables electronic musical instruments, computers and other equipment to communicate, control and synchronize with each other.

MIDI does not transmit an audio signal or media — it simply transmits digital data "event messages" such as the pitch and intensity of musical notes to play, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato and panning, cues and clock signals to set the tempo. As an electronic protocol, it is notable for its success, both in its widespread adoption throughout the industry, and in remaining essentially unchanged in the face of technological developments since its introduction in 1983.

 

[infra_red_dude]

MIDI is not for voice.

^So,ogg vorbis is the winner?

 

[vish786]

probably not I think its some version of AAC, damn cant even test so many formats.
will have to read more now....

^So,ogg vorbis is the winner?

Its not the normal OGG, its OGG AoTuV.. And yeah.. AoTuV and AAC are the better ones..

 

[koolbluez]

My priority is universal usage with great quality... AAC rocks here... mp3... naah...

 

[prabhatmohit]

eAAC+ is best for storing songs on mobiles. Else AAC is also gud too

 

[adi007]

ogg vorbis -free and best.
It occupies less space and gives more quality...
Able to play in linux without any codecs(Best for non-internet connected computers)...

 

[johnjjx]

try MP3PRO.
its awesme in cellphns tht need compressd format 64kbps
thomson mp3 encoder.

 

[Faun]

Doom3, Prey and S.T.A.L.K.E.R sound effects were all encoded in ogg vorbis.

May be some other games also, since these are the three i hav tried modding
