How do you encode your audio?

Personally, MP3 using LAME at -V 1 and -q 2

Now with 10% more poll!
Now with ANOTHER 10% more poll!

WMA since I can fit more songs into my 256MB mp3 player.

Hmm, forgot to add that to the poll, actually, I'll just take WMA off and then two useless formats will be off the list, j/k.

600 GB of flac and still ripping.

Apple Lossles to convert CD's, MP3 320kbps when I download off the internet. I have a 4GB Ipod Mini.

Yay another LAME user!! :beer:

On second though, who encodes MP3s and doesn't use LAME?

Raises hand...

Jung & Falcon hardware encoder. Don't ask about it because it's under NDA.

iTunes. Easy to use, beautiful and sounds better than anything Micro$lop can come up with.

Codec/format/whatever buddy, not program. And if you think iTunes is worth encoding anything but Apple Lossless you are surely mistaken.

AC3

I don't encode songs anymore.

I encode DVDs and the audio is encoded in AC3 format.

Probably on a PeeCee, you have to worry about all that. On a Mac it's all done transparently very quickly and easily.

Nope. I make DVDs and encode audio in AC3.

While I would love to have DVD-A, I have no way of really enjoying it properly.

Would be cool though.

On a different note: I have a cool plug-in that allows me to create 5.1 surround out of a 2 channel source audio file.

Not in iTunes. It just does it automatically.

you do know that as of a month or two ago, you can rip DVD-A discs, right? no overpriced player needed anymore if you have a high end soundcard/DAC!

I use Itunes to encode mp3's and it sounds fine at 320 bit rate......
