MOTM

OK, Thanks David.  I have this MP3 encoder thing working OK.  Now, some of
you with some experience, please help me with recommended options.  It looks
as if there are 3 different types of codec.  I went with the Ec98Enc one and
it worked fine.  The bit rate seems to make a huge difference.  256 K
produced something decent, and compressed the file to about 20% of the wav.
128 K bitrate produced very noticeable distortion compressing the file to
about 10% size.  And, what is this type 1, 2, and 3 thing anyhow?

So, now I have this pitch shifting sample down to a 450K MP3 file.  If
anyone wants it, let me know.  My apologies to those who have already
suffered through the 2.5 Meg WAV file.  At least I learned something today.

Ech, sharpen your teeth first on the very FREE Electronic Cosmo. Go to

http://ec2000.xperiment.net/projects.html

and you'll find a dead-simple mp3 encoder for Windows (only, sorry if that's
a drag), including 3 codecs, plenty of options, rivalling ones that cost
money. Save yer bux fer MOTM!
I like it better than the Xing program anyway.
