| NEW: encoder + decoder bugfixes
limited shareware version of the MPEG Audio Layer 3 software only Encoder/Decoder FINALLY (imho) better than MP2!: new parameter -hq (HighQuality), about 3 times slower but results in kick-ass quality! registration fee is 250$ , please give me feedback, if this thingy still meets the spirit of my pages! supports input/output formats: RAW (16 bit signed integer), WAV, AIFF and SND/AU 44.1kHz sampling frequency (8, 11.025, 12, 16, 32 kHz and 48 kHz in reg version) for "net-quality" I found best: resample the original down to mono/32 kHz and then use 56 Kbs, that's still UNBELIEVABLE quality! At a ratio of 1:25 compared to the stereo original! for "cd-quality" leave your original unchanged and then use 128 Kbs (automatically "joint stereo"-mode since version 2.60), nearly no audible loss but a compression ratio of 1:11! |

| THE mpeg audio layer 1,2 coder & layer
1,2,3 decoder - not realtime, but superb quality
you can use two levels more compression than with COOL and you will get the same quality !!! imports PCM raw-files or AIFF IMHO the best compromise between compressed size and quality is as follows: compression method: layer 2 psychoacoustics: model 2 de-emphasis: no effect compression ratio: 64 K/s error protection: no effect |

| NEW: playlist support
freeware mpeg player XAUDIO was written to be a fast implementation of an MPEG Audio decoding library to be used by various GUI front-ends this alpha version of the player is freeware (will expire on October 1st 1997), will become shareware then interactive trackbar control for direct seek, no playlist support yet, overall look is pretty alpha |

| freeware mpeg player, no, it's NOT that elliptical
looking alien styled thing known as "vibe" too
misses *A LOT* of WinAmp's "overall coolness" actually but is pretty fast too NT4 taskman says it would need only a quarter of WinAmp's CPU - hmm, xaudio's new version needs 0-1% too while the previous version needed 10%, imho those value's don't say too much) ID3-tag editor, playlist menu entry is a dummy in current version |
