 Posted: Sat Sep 14, 2002 2:26 pm Post subject: mpeg321 sound horrible |
 |
|
Hello,
I am using a gentoo with gcc 3.1.1, genome2, alsa and gentoo-kernel. when I play mp3 from the Music view of gnome2 sounds pretty good, but with mpeg321 sounds horrible. I try to setup the mpeg321 to use alsa ... but I got the same result.
any ideas which could be the problem? or is just that mpeg321 suckz. 
BTW: This this thing is fast, I am emerging DVDRIP, ripping some CD with GRip, doing some gtk-gnutella ... and still can play mp3 with good quality (on genome).... pretty impress, pretty impress. Good Work!! |

Why not using mpg123 ? Try
| Code: | $ emerge -C mpg321 # to remove mpg321
# emerge mpg123 |

Cause mpg321 uses MAD mp3 decoding engine, that gives superior quality.
I have problems with mpg321 too, but only when using alsa. It sounds perfect if I use "-o oss".

Reminds me of the people that say "why aren't you using Windows? http://www.microsoft.com/windows" when you say your running Linux.
mpg321 is GPL. It's more of a political thing than anything else.
On with the topic here, I get the same problems with mpg321 and mpg123. I use alsa, but I made up for it by using mp3blaster. I'm not sure what is going on, but the sound quality is not clicking or anything else when I use mp3blaster.
It has to be alsa. |

It is a totally different thing. If you want only GPL'd programs unmerge netscape-flash, any java (jre or jdk), acrobat reader & even ghostscript & you' re done  This is not a flame. Of course I prefer GPL programs over proprietary but I think mpg123 is better than mpg321. mpg321 doesn't have the very useful option '-C' and segfaults here quite often.

mpg123 works fine here with alsa-0.9.0rc3 and an sb live
p.s. : I don't have windows on any pc home & at work (total 15 systems ! - all running gentoo & slackware)

Yeah, I know. But alsa9 support in mpg321 is b0rked or something. It works perfectly using -o oss (alsa's oss emulation).
