OGG Vorbis pre 1.0 listening test.



Update 2000-08-20
No longer can i find any flaws using OGG Vorbis from CVS 2000-08-20 soon to be beta2.
Using encoder_example.
Great work!

Update 2000-07-07
Added two more "bad" samples.

Update 2000-06-19
As of CVS tree today pre echo bug is fixed.
Trumpet and vocal will no longer have pre echo effects(water trumpet.) .

Update 2000-06-01
New CVS drivers does major improvement on audio quality.

This test was done using XMMS 1.2 and sblive card.
I used fraunhoffer mp3 producer as a reference(that one is for windows
and is not free and MP3 is patent inflicted...). MP3 producer is the best MP3 encoder although LAME now sounds in many cases better that Fraunhofers mp3 producer2.1, although LAME is also inflicted by patents that Fraunhoffer holds.

Vorbis has got superb quality better than MP3 producer2.1.
This test is only done to show some minor glitches with Vorbis(NOTE ALL SOUND ERRORS I FOUND WITH VORBIS IS FIXED!)and i have tried really hard to find these...
I will ONLY show the audio files that Vorbis have trouble encoding,
i wont show all the files MP3 producer has trouble encoding(this page would
be to long ;) ). Music from CD ripped with Cdparanoia
Let the test begin...

Audio that Vorbis has a little trouble with.

NONE that i know of.


Audio that now encodes CORRECTLY(as of CVS 2000-08-20).
