When you hear the Macaw parrots repeated, this is the second recording.

Note: #Mastodon *needs* a better mp3 encoder. Bloody friggin hell on a pike!

@gocu54 Nothing to do with tweesecake, mastodon reencodes audio at the server-end.

Why, yes, yes it does, but the mp3 encoder Mastodon uses is part of other libraries. You, as an instance admin, can't just swap it out for another one, so I'm told.

@BorrisInABox you can relatively easily swap out ffmpeg, so if an encoder you want works with ffmpeg, it'll be relatively easy to switch to.

@talon @BorrisInABox Doesn't it already use LAME, though? Which is basically the best MP3 encoder already? Just bad settings?

These are some really nice sounds. I love the birds and the thing that sounds like either a waterfall or a river.
