Dear Tom & Aqualung crew:<br><br>I just wanted to praise you all for aqualung. My laptop has a fixed 48khz sample rate and basically most 44.1 mp3s sounded pretty poor (ringing, etc) using other mp3 decoders. I turned on best sinc interpolation in aqualung and wow - I am enjoying my mp3/ogg collection for the first time on that machine.
<br><br>Not only that, but the jackd interface is working PERFECTLY - instead of batch processing 44.1khz mp3s into wavs I now just slam them into an ardour2 (upsampling to 96khz) session and also just leave aqualung connected on an ardour bus all the time for background listening while I'm working - or playing along.
I have not had a single crash of the previous release in dozens of hours of listening.<br><br>Firing up a download now....<br><br>Many thanks for taking digital music to the next level. Probably AMD/Intel should be thanking you too as best sinc EATS cpu....
<br><br>now... about streaming.... :)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/18/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tom Szilagyi</b> <<a href="mailto:tomszilagyi@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
