TOTP: 5.1 MP3 Surround Podcast

Posted by Hendry Lee in Podcast News

Top of the Pods probably is the first podcast which implement the 5.1 surround technology. To be able to listen to the show, you need a sound-card with 6 speakers and download special MP3 surround player or get plug-ins for your existing music player like WinAmp.

Because it needs to embed additional information in the podcast file the show itself is slightly larger than a regular stereo MP3 of similar quality. If your podcast client convert the file into any other format, then it will lose all the surround data.

For more information on how to download free evaluation version of the software to encode and decode MP3 surround format, visit Fraunhofer.
