OGG or mp3 ENCODING ADVISE
by Peter B Van Campen 01 Jul '02

01 Jul '02

Dear List, What encoders do you recommend and where to get them? I am getting ready to rip my CD to OGG or MP3; I'd like to compare them and then choose, but I do lean towards OGG. I do NOT find any encoders on the 8.0 dist. Where are they or where should I look elsewhere? I am able to ri[p ok. Thanks! .......PeterB
