That is not my experience at all. If I need to encode in a lossy format, LAME has always produced a smaller transparent encode than Vorbis. But if I've been bandwidth/space restricted, Vorbis and AAC have been better than MP3.
- LeoNatan25 10y agoCalling MP3 "transparent" even at 320kbps is such a far reach. Especially in treble and bass, lack in detail, etc. It's just a limitation to the codec. In comparison, AAC produces a much higher quality encodes, which somewhat approach a "transparent" lossy encode.
- hvidgaard 10y agoI have yet to see anyone being able to tell the me what sample was the mp3 with any consistency in an ABX test. I don't know how other encoders perform, but LAME is producing really really good results.
- tacos 10y agoThere is no excuse for MP3 in 2016. Like parents who eagerly took "baby's first step" photos with the first iPhone camera... oops. As technologists and influencers we should help migrate people forward. Ya hear me, SoundCloud?
