What is GoGo encoder ?
« on: April 26, 2004, 02:12:23 pm »

In relation to another question in a separate thread I have one more question.
I ripped the audio from a music dvd and when I look at the properties with EncSpot I see that the first track is mentioned as encoded with Lame 3.92 and the rest as GoGo.
What does that GoGo mean ? Does anybody know ?

GoGo is an MP3 encoder that's optimized for speed.  

Its quality is not as good as some slower encoders like LAME, but GoGo is faster.

Thanks Matt,
But why is it so that EncSpot mentions Lame 3.92 for the first track ? Or is that a question related to EncSpot ?

I think that is a question for EncSpot.

EncSpot basically just guesses at what encoder was used for ripping.  Although the author claims it is a good guess, it is just that, a guess.  I would assume it was actually encoded with whatever shows the most entries in your example, I think that would be GoGo.  But remember, it's just a guess, so don't put much weight on it.

Seems that it is indeed a guess.
I replaced the mp3codec.dll in the folder of dvd audioripper with  the lame_enc.dll and after ripping again I got the same results with EncSpot, that is first track Lame and the rest GoGo.
Or is what I am doing stupid ?

GoGo Is Based On Source From Lame, It Also Supports 2 CPU'S (Multi Thread) Where Lame Does Not

I'm not even really sure why EncSpot guesses at the encoder used for ripping.  I doesn't really make any difference to me.  Either I already know what was used to rip it (because I ripped it) or I used RipCast to get it, and I can't change it.  Either way, it doesn't make any difference.  Not to me anyway.

Music Encoded with Gogo at 192KBPS is not as good as the same music encoded at 192kbps with Lame.

so when you are one of them people who download off the internet\p2p one file may be better quality than the other.
