[vorbis] resampling to 48 kHz

[David Bachner]

One thing that has always bothered me about the ogg
format is the distortion of high frequency sounds -
even at data rates as high 128 and 160 kbps. I find
the best way around this is to resample the wav file
to 48 kHz (using SoundForge 6.0) before encoding
(using CDex) to ogg. It takes a while, and adds a lot
of extra wear and tear on my drive, but what a
difference! The result is an 80k ogg file that sounds
EVERY BIT as good as 128k MP3 at less than two thirds
the size!

I don't get the same result when I set the sampling
rate on OggDropXPd to 48 kHz. Why is that?

This is quite different from MP3 encoding, where the
data rate seems to make the biggest difference in
sound quality). Why is this?

Is anyone else resampling their wav's/aiff's before
encoding to ogg? Is there an easier way to achieve the
same result?
