New Audio Formats and more News
I’ve just published some changes to media.io:
New Audio Formats: AC3 and µLaw/AU
media.io now supports AC3 and µLaw/AU. Converting AC3 to MP3 and the other supported formats is a bit experimental (since AC3 supports multi-channel audio).
Quality Improvements for Ogg Vorbis
Armed with close to 100.000 data points, I looked for file format conversions that just didn’t work as well as they could. One of the problems that I found were conversions to Ogg Vorbis with sampling rates other than 44.100 Hz. From now on, audio files converted to Ogg Vorbis will always be resampled to 44.100 Hz.
No more AdSense Ads
While AdSense wasn't ever going to make me rich, eCPMs have taken a nosedive in February. Unfortunately for Google, I'm not willing to sell my visitors for 0.5 € eCPM so there are now different ads from Amazon which will probably perform awfully (like all ads from Amazon that I tried).
As always, thanks for the feedback you have send in through surveys and the UserVoice forum.
