.ogg Rippers?

Shannon · Sep 5, 2003

Does anybody know of any CD rippers that can rip to .ogg format? Apparently .ogg's give better quality at lower bitrates than .mp3's.

Oh, I have tried downloading the OGG codec for dBpowerAMP but it doesn't work.

.ogg, That's a new format to look out for but why would you want to encode stuff at a higher bit rate you wont realised a difference in quality, well maybe a little bit.

If your a dog listening to the music I would advise you to have a high bitrate but you aren't dogs so why worry?

.ogg isn't that new, it's just not as popular.

Nevermind. I managed to get the .ogg codec to work.

Oh, and by using .ogg I can get the same quality as an .mp3 but at a smaller filesize (1-2mb difference).

Now thats cool! - I'll wait until it becomes more of a standard and when burning an audio CD I couldn't be bothered finding a .ogg to .wav decoder.

I just found this for anyone who doesn't believe me in that OGG is superior to MP3.

Some German computer magazine not long run the largest audio format comparison to date and OGG was rated the best format, behind Wave.

You really believe in this .ogg format don't you - your like Linux wanting to convert Windows users except you want us to become .ogg worshippers.

Sorry not going to happen

Not really. I use .ogg to rip my CDs because it is a better format than mp3 as far as quality/filesize goes.

And I'm just informing people that there is more than just mp3 out there.
