Yeah, we talked about that sound encoding thing today... mainly about the fact that it's a pity we only remember some 50% of it, cause it sounded really useful...

hey!

here is the thing.

I don't like Winamp for some very personal reasons, so I use Apollo which has non-standard and possibly better MP3 decoding adecoding algorythm, and also 24 or 32 bit dithering capability.

It's not that I'd even know what "dithering" exactly is, but thanks a lot for the reminders - knowing how it works and what it does or not knowing, I guess I'll hear the difference.

Cheers!

Sure, ear is the only judge. Let me know about results, I'm just curious will it work out for you.

What I like about Apollo player is that it plays significantly more pleasant sound even with cards delivering only up to 16 bit resolution, like most of integrated soundcards do. The sound just feels more.. nice.

Happy New Year! :)
