What
is MP3Pro? |
| mp3PRO is a file format developed
by Coding Technologies to improve on the MP3 format. The company
claims file sizes that have the same quality of MP3 at half the bitrate
and file size. |
| Is MP3PRO really
better? |
So far, mp3PRO has really disappointed
MP3 fans. Complaints center around muddy sounding files and lack of
compatability with most MP3 players. Coding Technologies have kept
a tight handle on its proprietary format have really squelched development
of software that handles the format.
There was a substantial lack of clarity in the instruments especially
background vocals, bass guitar, and drum cymbals. The quality is definitely
better than what you would hear on your FM radio, but still has a
ways to go before it supplants MP3 as the dominant file format. |
| How to make MP3Pro
Files? |
| A demo encoder and player is now available
for download. The program does not rip from CD. You need to have WAV
files available to convert to mp3PRO for this program. |
