RE: FLASH: Importing MP3 files

[Trust Me!]

The best mp3 player that I have seen in action is Cowon's Jet-Audio's

internal mp3 engine. Not only does it play your mp3s with regular wave sound

output (like WinAmp, XingMP3 Player, etc.), but you can also dramatically

increase the sound quality with the help of its own software sound

acceleration. Its only drawback is the fact that it relies more on your CPU

power. On a slow system, you won't notice any improvement in the sound

quality... but on a good multimedia system, you're in for a treat.


Try it at http://www.cowon.com/ .

I use soundjam mp by cassidy and greene (http://www.soundjammp.com/)

for the macintosh. The quality seems to be slightly better than

macamp and about the same as audion to my untrained ears.


advantages to soundjam is it also includes an encoder which seems as

good as any other although (and I haven't done any in depth tests)

N2MP3 (which is just an encoder) seems just as good.


It also converts mp3 to aiff format - quality of aiff ouput seems

equivalent to a high quality tape recording - you can hear hiss if

you turn the volume up high enough. I must stress that I've only

performed this test with 256Kb/s mp3 files so the quality may drop on

a more traditional 128Kb/s file.
