Audio Formats, Converting & Archiving
Please note that on my audio format page has opinions that have come
from my self and several other people. I'm not trying to encourage
anyone to use a particular format but trying to demonstrate the strengths
and weaknesses of each format. The Converting & Archiving page
explains a method I use for backing up audio CDs and how to prepare audio
for audio CD writing. For copyright reasons, I didn't use any clips
from music which had been sold as singles in a very long time. I used
2 short song clips (15 seconds) 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' and 'My Baby
Just Cares For Me', you'll also find these on many music sites and search
engines, including Audiogalaxy. I'm only using them to demonstrate
the quality of each codec. Note that the Real Audio clips had marked
the songs as copyright 2001 but this is not true as the encoder does this
by default.
