2008 ripping/encoding general poll
Reply #58 – 2008-01-05 16:49:05
Last year I built my first graphs upon the 1200 (400x3) first votes and published the details ... for main lossy formats only. We just reached the 1200 votes few minutes ago. Results could therefore be compared:LOSSY: 1200 [400x3] first votes comparison (2007-2008) 2007 2008 AAC 11.75% 18.00% MP3 55.50% 51.25% MPC 4.75% 6,25% VORBIS 22.50% 20,25% The most impressive change is for AAC which apparently gained some users coming from the MP3 and the Vorbis basis. Small progress for MPC too (SV8 effect?). For lossless formats, I filled the table 2007 final results.LOSSLESS: 2007 (final results) and 2008 (400 first results) 2007 2008 FLAC 59.42% 62.50% MONKEY 4.65% 4.00% TAK 0.76% 7.00% WAVPACK 21.97% 18.00% Flac is more and more hegemonic. Nice beginning for TAK (which was in beta stage when the 2007's poll started). WavPack regress a bit more (and is now far from his peak reached in 2006). Of course, these results only apply for a small part of hydrogenaudio's community. Ah yes, it took 6 days to reach 1200 votes last year. This time: same score after only five days. Next comparison: on 2008 2009, january 4th maybe ___ P.S. my 2008 votes are: AAC - Flac - 1 file per track
Wavpack Hybrid: one encoder, one encoding for all scenarios WavPack -c4.5hx6 (44100Hz & 48000Hz) ≈ 390 kbps + correction file WavPack -c4hx6 (96000Hz) ≈ 768 kbps + correction file WavPack -h (SACD & DSD) ≈ 2400 kbps at 2.8224 MHz
