    I laughed when Reddit suddenly spent months claiming Spotify is garbage despite It using 320kbps Vorbis and that the other 3 streaming platforms would dethrone It. Despite the fact…

    MP3 is only good at 18KHz at V0/320kbps, Yet AAC & Vorbis can handle full 22KHz at 256kbps VBR with hotter audio(-15 ~ -5db) their VBR models can just use 384 ~ 960kbps. Yes Vorbis…

    Ask HN: Why did Fraunhofer not realise how flawed MP3 was?

    It can't handle a lot of electronic music at all without becoming a pre echo mess even at V0 & 320kbps?. Vorbis & AAC under 192kbps are no any better If I'm being honest, 96Kbps VB…
