Choice of anchor/6th codec for AAC test
Reply #9 –
LAME 3.95.1 - simply because i want to see how it does against the AAC encoders, not just the winning codec of the AAC test (in the multiformat test). Featuring the best MP3 encoder also makes sense, since the AAC format is kind of the successor to the MP3 format. This would be a way of comparing old versus new.
I Would also like to se Winamp 5.02 featured in this test. This makes very good sense, considering it's userbase. I bet there are alot more users already encoding with Winamp 5.xx AAC than with Compaact, FAAC and NCTU-AAC (or what it's called) already, thus it deserves to be featured in the test (wether or not it's broken, that's a codec bug, and Nullsoft's problem in the end).
Not every codec is perfect, thus i don't see the reason as to why Winamp should be thrown out just because there MAY be a flaw with it. If there is a flaw with it, then let the test show that result. Maybe that would get Nullsoft to speed things up a bit
