Hi
I`m not good in english so i wrote short:
Artist: Sting
Album: The Soul Cages
Track: 01. Island Of Souls
You can hear it in first seconds of the song, exactly at 00:03
mp3 with 128 has no problems.
P.S. I can`t provide a clip
Just wondering, are you using -b 128 or -q 4?
i have encoded it with EAC with option 128
Try ripping to wav and encoding using oggenc or oggdrop at -q 4
Encoded with -q 4 - no problem
Encoded without any swith - no problem
Encoded with -b128 - artifact
It's known that -q provides better quality than -b, so I recommend sticking with that.
The quality settings are true VBR so much more likely to deal with the odd tough segment in the best way, ie. fewer artefacts.
