In Reply to: Codecs... posted by mkuller on February 9, 2006 at 12:36:33:
As far as I know, MPEG-4 Lossless (ALS,SLS) are not standards yet, but since he said "lossless" no, there is no need for listening tests. Claims otherwise for a LOSSLESS codec seem rather, well, peculiar.How about it, Mkuller, has MPEG approved the ALS and SLS standards for Lossless Codecs yet? Are they in MPEG-4, or in some other audio standard.
Y'all asked about them, surely y'all must know the answer!
Oh, and most of MPEG-4 audio codecs are not lossless. Y'all keep that in mind, y'hear? For those, yeah, there's a whole book-sized set of reports on listening tests, you betcha.
