I was always just thinking that this file system would save me. I just thought like well, I'll just

I'll stick it out and nobody knew file system here probably next year and I would think in that for a lot of years now.

Well, I spent this morning trying to parallelize the lame MP3 encoder. Why? Why not?

Yeah. Because it's a very hard problem that hasn't been solved since like the early 2000s.

And I often need to encode our show MP3 which takes probably I don't know 90 seconds to encode.

It's it's a surprisingly long time for a modern computing task like that and that annoys me.

And so I figured why don't I spend the afternoon seeing if I can parallelize the the MP3 encoder and

I have and there are faster encoders than the lame encoder and I know

This is hard for me to talk about because I know that the word lame is really not a nice word to say

but it's kind of like the like the Gimp photo editor like also not a nice word to say

and for whatever reason these open source projects name themselves these acronyms without regard to what those

words mean and how they hurt people. So I'm sorry I'm advanced but it's called the lame MP3 encoder

and it is I have tested many different encoding options for podcast audio from MP3 AAC the

HE AAC all like the the MP3 pro like all like the the add-on like spectral

things to these formats and

simple joint stereo with the lame MP3 encoder is by far the the highest quality

and at the best bit rates that I have that I have found. It's really it's really quite good. So

problem is MP3 encoding is very difficult to parallelize at least while also doing it well.

And so that's what I'm kind of trying to do here.

Just for ATP. Well I mean ideally I would you know ship this to other people as well you know maybe

open source it or maybe just you know embedded into my pre-production tool that I have to at some

point hopefully maybe release so it could it could be very helpful because one of the problems is
