Hi
You can see that in Cool edit pro / spectral view or Frequency analysis
I can tell up to 256 kbps if there was a mp3 compression/decompression very
easy.
And JS is usually better than S at this test.
At 320 kbps mp3 I couldn't tell the difference.

Do I hear the difference?
I guess not. But I see it !!!

I hope Vorbis will soon have some kind of channel coupling. A good one.
Maybe at frequency band level rather than on a frame level.
Then it might be better than mp3 in every aspect.

How is beta 4 going? When will it be ready?

Happy 2001

Rajko
