Re: [mp3encoder] MP3 encoder for iTunes?
Try to use EncSpot on a file taken from iTunes. The author is not developing any more the software, has there's no news about him. So the program is a little old, but maybe can spot what you want.

Re: [mp3encoder] MP3 encoder for iTunes?
Don't bother. The iTunes MP3 encoder was written pretty much from scratch, based on the ISO reference source in distribution 10, as LAME was. I know, I was the principal author (it was originally shipped in SoundJam, for anyone who remembers that far back). It has been heavily tweaked over the years and doesn't bear much resemblance to dist 10 anymore... -Bill Kincaid iTunes on 10/21/03 7:17 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try to use EncSpot on a file taken from iTunes.

I downloaded the iTunes jukebox last night (Windows user) and liked what I saw - it is a nice package. How would you compare the encoding available from the iTunes encoder and LAME v3.9? I currently use EAC and LAME to encode my CD's, generally with something like --alt-preset standard. What would you recommend in iTunes? You do have the option of using AAC encoding in iTunes. It sounds pretty great @ 128kbits / s. If you still want to use MP3 (for backwards compatibility, forward compatibility or whatever), use 192 kbit / s or more. I don't think there are many more settings you can make about the encoding in iTunes? I personally think the LAME encoding is somewhat better than what iTunes performes (long time Mac user). But LAME is quite a bit slower than iTunes on my computer, and not as convenient (handy AppleScripts aside). I don't know if the same holds true on Win, but I do know LAME is optimized better for x86, so that's not necessarily the case. / David ___ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder ___ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
