Stemby added a comment to T181875: Score should output MP3 files.

MP3 is no longer patent encumbered because it is very old (more than 20 years). Why should we desire it? It's not efficient (bad quality or high bitrate), it's worse than Vorbis. Only IE users would have a better experience: the overwhelming majority would experiment a worse experience (IE+Edge < 9%).

Stemby added a comment to T50029: crackling at start of OGG renditions of MIDI files (fixed in TiMidity++ 2.14.0).

My comment IS focused. The previous command _does_ exactly MIDI "conversion" to OGG, without crackling at start.

OK, sorry to bother you. Read my previous message as «please note that your work risks being lost time, because IMHO timidity should be replaced by fluidsynth». So the right task should be «remove timidity from Score and make MIDI to Vorbis "conversion" in TimedMediaHandler by using fluidsynth».

I think timidity should be replaced by fluidsynth.
