Best lossy format to convert to for Rockbox?

(1/3) > >>

sa3atsky:
I have a huge lossless music database (Flac, Ape and Wavpack) that I want to convert to something smaller to accommodate my 80gb Ipod Video.. I'm stuck between the three lossy formats: MPC, Ogg Vorbis or ofcourse Mp3..

I'm going after quality first and then playability (as in little battery-life usage, smooth seeking etc.) To me MPC sounds greatest but is plagued with terrible seeking, Ogg comes in second and sorry LAME Mp3 comes in third..

Any tips or advice?

saratoga:
Whats wrong with MPC seeking?

sa3atsky:
well the version i used for converting some MPC files was sluggish, esp when seeking through +15min epics

Llorean:
So you meant "it has terrible seeking on my PC" (which really has very little to do with converting for Rockbox, doesn't it?)

sa3atsky:
I remember mpc seeking was terrible at some point, but now it seems to be working pretty fine. So, when it comes to overall features would you go MPC , OGG or MP3?
