Re: [microsound] [ot] the 56k challenge



those interested in the aesthetics of low quality encoding might find this interesting: a net label called "20kbps rec." puts out releases in 20kbps mp3 format only:

i'm sure there are others out there.

itunes allows down to 16kbps stereo files but in AAC and mp3. same goes for DSP-Quattro and i think Logic (don't have my key with me to open up and look).


i like the idea of a two part project. step on have everyone create the 56k files, part two have people remix the collection of materials (into normal file size or not).

I like this project idea! Is there anyone out there who has some pointers to good (or bad) encoders that produces... let's say 8kbps mono mp3 or even more lo-fi? My ordinary tools won't let me make as bad files as this!...

or am I thinking all wrong?... (if we speak tracker files [*.mod] I guess it is more easy to make small files, but the original post proposed mp3 or wav)

Maybe it is possible to manipulate the the mp3 files like change data in the headers etcetera to make the files small, but that is all new to me and maybe unrealistic to solve easy.

Anyway, here is a site with facts about the header info on mp3's
