I’ve been searching but I could find info about this. I am used to deal with mp3 encoding, and the usual bitrate to store my mp3 is 192Kbps CBR. To me, that is a pretty good quality to encode mp3 files, aside from lossless formats.
The question is that a friend has asked me to convert some songs for a videogame to ogg format, because the sound libraries he is using can’t deal with mp3 due to licensing reasons.
Anybody out there has info about what ogg qualities match with the common mp3 qualities? BTW, I don’t know how the ogg formats are specified (I have seen float numbers like 6.3 to set the quality in encoders, if anybody has info about this it’ll be great too).
Cheers.
