KT-Tech Sound Compression - Music at 32 Kbit/s

Posted by timothy on from the fine-print-time dept.

Robert Buccigrossi writes: "KT-Tech, whose wireless video compression was featured in a previous Slashdot story, has released a demo for real-time sound compression at http://www.kttech.com/. Like their video, the sound compression is symmetric and is suitable for wireless real-time communication in software. It sounds better than Windows Media and MP3 at 32 Kbit/s for music and 4 Kbit/s for voice." According to the site, "licensing KT-Tech's sound codec is easy," but I bet it's not as easy as .ogg.

    as long as it's better than any of RealNetworks Codecs, how bad could it possibly be?

    I can compress any Britney Spears song down to zero bits without loss of quality.

    I'm wondering how long it'll take for someone to hack apart the ktsplayer executable and rework it as a Winamp module?

    Hey thanks, it would be nice if you would tell me in what way I'm ill-informed. Your posting in itself is just an opinion, unless you show why. If you want to make an assertion like that, then you should show why you are right and I am wrong.

    Constructive criticism would make better /. users

    Umm, good or bad this is slashdot, and you might as well complain that Microsoft's web site has too much Windows-centric content.
