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?
