AAC Put To The Test
technology is sexy writes "Following the increasing popularity of AAC in online music stores and the growing amount of implementations in software and hardware, the format is now being put to the test. How well does Apple's implementation fare against Ahead Nero, Sorenson or the Open Source FAAC at the popular bitrate of 128kbps? Find out for yourself and help by submitting the
results. You can find instructions on how to participate here. The best AAC codec gets to face MP3, MP3Pro, Vorbis, MusePack and WMA in the next test. Previous test results at 64kbps can be found here."
If so, why should I care about its quality?
Even if I'm not interested in the round, my bets are on Ogg Vorbis for the next round. Ogg rules! (Even if the iPod with Linux is too slow to play them.)
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
Okay, I'm going to ask one last time and then I'll stop wasting bandwidth. Thanks to those who have already answered.
... mails as possible. I've tried to d/l some of the latest spams received by the spam archive (http://www.spamarchive.org/) and answering it to hook the spammers, but I don't seem to get any, and half of those reply-to addresses are deprecated already. The junk mail filter in my dummy yahoomail account is turned off, but still nothing comes through.

/. was the best way to jump-start that spam flood I need.
I'm doing a little art project that involves getting as much spam as I can to a spam hole on yahoomail. I'm looking to get as much 419 nigerian scams, mlm scams, penis enlargement, chain-letters, investments
So, if some of you get a lot of spam, could you please respond to a few in my yahoomail's account name to start the syphon ? the address is
internetnoise@yahoo.com
If you do help me, please don't sign-me up for free newsletters, or horoscopes or things like that : these aren't true spam/scams and I'd like to receive only those.
I'm not trolling by the way, and I know this is OT, but I figured posting something on
BTW : the above is really my account. If you send a mail to it, I'll respond immediately.

Okay, normally I don't do this, but this is getting freakin' annoying.
Ogg = Container Format, like QuickTime
Vorbis = Audio Codec, like AAC
You can, theoretically, store a Vorbis bitstream inside a QuickTime container, if you wanted to. Or an AAC stream inside an Ogg container. Why do people keep making this mistake?
