Bitrate Peeling with Ogg Vorbis
Yort writes "Thought this might be interesting to some audiophile /.ers - there's been some discussion on the Ogg Vorbis lists, summarized in the most recent Ogg Traffic, about "bitrate peeling". In short, it's where you can simply "peel off" the high resolution data from the ends of an audio stream packet to come up with a smaller, lower quality stream. Brings up a number of geek-cool opportunities."
That may be true if it were peeling off the copyright instead of the bitrate.
Though it does sound like a pretty cool way to downsample a stream.

I always kind of felt the first and third bit of every byte were kind of unnecessary. I'm not to fond of the F6 key either!

of a Slashdotter comment that twisted an old expression...
"Those who sacrafice sound quality for hard disk space deserve neither."
Cool idea to throw around though.
Why, o why must the sky fall when I've learned to fly?

True story:
Jerry Lewis sits at an editing console, editing his latest film. Unfortunately he is not happy with the way it is going. Stanley Kubrick stops in, asks is he can watch. Jerry says sure.
Jerry Lewis (coining the phrase): You can't polish a turd.
Stanley Kubrick (without missing a beat): You can if you freeze it.

Er, why do I need to do that, when you say things like this:
Of course a sound card is useless for listening to music.
This may come as a shock to you, but the vast majority of people who listen to music on their computers would consider that a ridiculous statement. No extrapolation is necessary on my part - that's a direct quote.
Note the word listening.
Wow, I'm so confused as to why I've been playing mp3s on my PC up to now...I thought I was listening to music. Guess not.
Nice troll yourself :)
