Comment Why I see Vorbis a good idea! (Score 1) 399

I've found a quantitave comparision between codecs quality. I know I've read an older comparision from the same guy, but dunno where it is now. Although that Vorbis is the state of the art (hasn't been openly distributed yet - so we should stick with the old Vorbis 1.0), the fact that MP3 does have too much artifacts at low bitrates (anything below 192 is low in this case) is the main reason why we should avoid them in portable devices, where memory cards are somewhat expensive. I'm not such a techman on embedded systems, so I cannot say if transfers of chunks of data from the memory card are such a problem for the battery life. Personally I like the quality of Vorbis even at roughly 96kbps (when you encode you won't specify the average kbps, it is quality based, I mean a Q factor of 3 or 4 is Ok), I even encoded some DivX with that in favor of video quality. So I'd like that iPod and the other ones would have support for Vorbis.
