Re: Regarding Musepack...
Spoon's Audio Guide (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/spoons-aud...de-formats.htm)
makes 2 statements regarding Musepack. The first is that it is better from bitrates of 160 kbs and above and that it is unrivalled at bitrates of 192 kbs and above. While this testing does not extent to 192 kbs. and it does continue to give musepack high marks, it seems to clearly suggest that the tweaks to the ogg aoTuV codec embodied in aoTuV beta4 (aka Vorbis 1.1.1) have made it a superior codec for classical music at fairly high bitrates. Whether this extends to even higher bitrates is questionable.
(BTW I did fix the link to this study having found that the link I posted didn't work).
Best wishes,
Bill
