I just downloaded the encoder suggested below by David. This is my first
time playing with them. I took Larry's .wav file as input, and played with
all the different codecs and bitrate settings.
Each and every one of them altered the sound audibly. It was plain bad
(gargling) until I bumped the bitrate up to 256 or 320. Even at the highest
rate, it changed the sound of the VCOs from more of a pulse wave in the
original .wav file, to a hollower, more square wave sound in the .mpg file.
Is this alteration of sound quality a general problem with mpg encoders? How
do you seasoned mp3'ers deal with this?
