General Discussion » Bitrate update for German relay wanted?

Author	Thread
Locutus 9 Posts #864 (12 years, 1 month ago)	Recently I updated the bitrates and codecs for the German Nectarine relay to some more "modern" settings. Necta uses 192 kBit MP3 as master stream, and the relay now transcodes to AAC+ only, in bitrates 128, 80, 48 and 16 (coined "high", "medium", "low" and "ultra-low"). If you'd like a similar modernization of bitrates here, please let me know! With your 128 kBit MP3 master, maybe AAC+ in 64, 32, and 16 would be useful.

That would replace 128 MP3 for me without sacrificing quality and still cut amount of transmitted data by ~50%. \o, Hail Locutus

Experience on Necta showed that 16 kBit is good for bad mobile connections, on the road and such, while 48 has good quality for acceptable mobile connections. So I'd use those two, and additionally 80 kBit which is about halfway between 48 and 128. In exchange, I'd drop the OGG streams then if that is okay. I don't think we need OGG anymore when AAC+ has the same quality at lower bitrates.
