Latest version?

Jun. 23rd, 2007

Does this encorder use libVorbis 1.1.2 and libOgg 1.1.3 from Xiph Foundation or earlier versions?

Great plug-in...

Mar. 21st, 2006

Same as my searches for a flac ripper.I searched google for a ogg cd ripper but the only ones I came accross were trials!Yeh right, Like I was going to Pay to use opensource formats!This plugin solves the problem!Thanks, Danny :)

Super fast, super high quality

Sep. 10th, 2005

I'm using the experimental codec - and it's fast. I've finally got the right codec and am encoding my entire CD collection. Definitely worth a download!

if troubled I wont find another disaster..

Sep. 7th, 2005

ehueuh i heard ogg vorbis about a month ago but ive been fighting against my "cute" trojans!!Anyway ,I havent run ?t yet but gave five cause of known before..The only bad thing is Winamp's library is too bad to use:(

Excellent!

Aug. 25th, 2005

This plug-in is excellent! It combines best of both: The quality is far better than mp3 (average of 64 kbit is almost as good as 128 kbit mp3) and in the highest quality setting, even the most trained ears won't hear the difference!Also, it is way faster than ripping to mp3Recommended to any WinAmp user!

Thanks for clarification

May. 30th, 2005

i wasn't aware that the settings represented VBR encoding. That said, i've used this plugin consistently since discovering it, and i love the quality it produces. Excellent work.

Let's clarify some points...@Tristan Kitchin re: slownessIt takes 6m30s to rip a full album on my 1400Mhz laptop. Either you're using the free version of Winamp (which is limited to 2x ripping...), or you're experiencing a problem with your CD-drive (maybe it is in PIO mode or something like that...).@Lewy H re: the guy on the pictureThe picture is Gutenberg (and its recognisable doubled beard), the nickname I use for years on the Internet, including on this forum. And yes it comes from a joke about a poor printing job I'm not particularly proud of :-D@joe t re: CBR only modeYou're wrong, it's VBR only, which is the best mode ;-) Indeed, there is no real CBR mode with vorbis (you can eventually see some kind of constrained VBR for streaming purposes, but no more). The displayed bitrate is what's called the "nominal bitrate", which is continually modified during the encoder process depending of the richness of the sound to encode. By the end of the encoding job, the final average bitrate should be very close to the nominal one.In short, this encoder is giving the best possible with Vorbis.@the othersI'm happy you're happy with this plug-in :-)

SOOO SLOW!

May. 15th, 2005

Ogg, great format, so great infact that all my music is in Ogg. So when i heard about this i was excited, until it got running. This program will do a huge range of bit rates, but the problem i have with it is that its just too slow. Takes an hour to rip a CD to the highest bit rate, which is rediculous when you can get free software which can do the same task in 7 minutes. But if u dont care about time, then i would give it a shot.

Why is Bin Laden there?

Apr. 13th, 2005

Ogg Vorb files are k00l! take my word for it!supposedly lossless, although i haven't researched the technology myself....but one question...Why is there a picture of Bin Laden for this plugin?

Nice job! I couldn't help thinking how will do this....and you did!
- Arseni Romanov

Great! why does it have a five star rating from the staff?...

This is so cool i hope to see more from you!

Great Plug-In flawless Ogg

Feb. 28th, 2005

I just downloaded this and it works great. Set setting to highest 10 and encoded 3 cds and burnt to a cd-r. Place it in my old Liteon LVD-2001 with the last and most recent firmware that supports Ogg. Played flawless with the highest bit setting and supported the long filenames. Winamp is the best, Ogg and Ipod plug-in support. Hooked up to a Logitech Z-2300 speakers and a small color television. Ultraquiet Ogg Player setup.

A perfect encoder

Feb. 26th, 2005

I don't understand why this doesn't come bundled with WinAmp by default. It's that good.

Finally, but not full

Feb. 8th, 2005

Have been waiting for this encoder since I got Winamp. However, it's a pretty rudimentary version. Only allows control over the constant bitrate, whereas Ogg offers the same VBR, Stereo, etc. controls as MP3. But hey, at least it's a start.

A great encoder.

Jan. 15th, 2005

I was wondering why winamp didn't come with an ogg encoder. The one here is awesome! I'm using the experimental one from the user's home page without a single hiccup.For those that don't know it, ogg encoders can be free, since the underlying codec is totally free. Why other media players (ie: Microsoft media player and Apple iTunes) don't support it is beyond me.

Wonderful plugin

Jan. 12th, 2005

Simple and easy to use. No confusing 'legacy' options (unlike a certain other encoder :p), just a quality slider.If you're new to Vorbis start with quality 4 and move up or down depending on whether you're able to hear a difference to the original.PS as long as the server/database is acting up look for it in the forum (Community > Winamp Discussion).

Download link broken

Jan. 12th, 2005

It seems there are some problems with the Nullsoft download server at this time.Until this issue is solved, you can get the Ogg-Vorbis encoder at my personal page: http://www.facquet.com/rubrique69.html (copy and paste this link in your browser's address bar).Sorry for the inconvenience,Michael
