Hi everybody!

Is there VQF soft for Linux?
As far as I know, VQF is a sound compression format similar to MP3. But it has better quality with smaller bitrates (112kbit VQF is as nice as 192Kbit MP3)
So can somebody throw me an URL or a program itself?
Best Regards, Sergey.

You can use XMMS to play vqf files. Try http://www.xmms.com.

I read the page on this once (a few months ago), and I know you have do do some tricky stuff with WINE and the windows .dll's to get it working, but XmmS will definately play them. (I haven't tried yet.)

peace,

In reply to Sergey

actully, VQF totally rapes the high frequencies, and hence does not at all sound as good as mp3.

don'y believe the hype
