[vorbis] WMA9 versus OGG

[Tom Page]

Hello all

I have been encoding to OGG as a default for well over a year, but I
recently thought I ought to test how it sounds compared to other codecs. I
got the Windows Media 9 encoder and I was quite surprised at how bad a job
OGG did at quality 0 with a simple piano clip, and how well WMA9 was - I've
always considered WMA as being a bit naff, but WMA9 has forced me to
re-access this view

to see if you agree or can offer any insight - shouldn't OGG beat WMA9 in
sound quality? The original is from the Lost in Translation sound track -
please don't download it too much - I do have limited bandwidth!

Thanks, Tom
