<div dir="ltr">Yes, I did make some mistakes, partly due to the legacy, the software was 5 years old. I described my requirement on an audio programming forum, someone recommended ogg, and Vorbis's FAQ confirmed it would be the right direction. Anyway, my first email was just a result of a bad day and frustration :-) , nothing more.<br>

Thanks for all your replies! I've been trying to shrink some audio files for<br>
a language learning software. Tried wave format first, but I can only reduce<br>
the original 690MB to 80MB despite of a noticeable quality loss. Ogg reduced<br>
to 60MB without quality loss...at least I can't tell, it's good enough for<br>
online distribution. Final installation file is 31MB, it seems that ogg<br>
leaves lots of room for compression program. Anyway, I decided to use ogg,<br>
but I didn't expect the programming hurdle.<br>

Sigh.<br>

If your problem is voice compression, you should be using a speech codec. Not a general purpose codec like MP3 or Vorbis which is targeted more at music.<br>
<br>
It's kinda hard to take your opinions seriously when you make such an egregious mistake in researching your own problem.<br><font color="#888888">
