EAC to OGG help

Hi,

I have recently just got an ihp120 and have decided to go with OGG for my encoding because of its ability to be gapless with rockbox.

I have read through all of the tutorials(http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=14081, http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index....and_Ogg_Vorbis) and everything "seems" to be working correctly. EXCEPT that the final encoded file does not play anything, although it does contain information. I have tried replaying the file in both Winamp and transfering it to the ihp120, both without success.

The only way I have been successful in encoding to OGG is using oggdropXPd, which is a drag and drop utility. However I don't want to use this because from what I have read EAC to OGG provides the highest quality of files.

My machine is and older PIII 1ghz if that matters.

Thanks everyone for any input.

Chris

What encoder are you using first of all? There was a version oggenc that had some bugs in that caused encoded file to introduce "randomn pop's and clicks" into the stream it had some other problems too. I recommend that you check and make sure you are encoding with Vorbis 1.1 or latest Beta or tuned binary like AoTuV.

If you are using the same exe with EAC as oggdrop, the files should be identical.  Both apps are encoding wav files.  I think where you are confused is that EAC is considered to the best ripper.

My guess is that what's produced has an OGG file extension, but is not Vorbis. What do your compression settings look like?
