Thanks. This fix is also in but in a slightly different way. I modifed the actual tagging routines in lame.c to check for Ogg Vorbis output rather than making the client code responsible, so we only have to do the test in one place rather than in all clients. On Fri, Jul 07, 2000 at 01:08:55AM

I cannot see the point in using -V0 with "-b %bitrate% -B %bitrate%". I´ve been trying, and can´t see (or hear) the difference. Maybe it´s just me, but I suppose -V0 *must* encode with optimum quality. I don´t know... In this case, if we want minbitrate AND maxbitrate to be 128, why don´t try CBR

I am definitely interested in bitrates higher than 128. In my personal opinion, 128 is not good enough. In CBR I would have to encode at 192 to be happy. I was under the impression that if I use VBR mode with 128 as the bottom...that I would get an average about about 185 or so (which is what

Hi! I'm new here so please don't bash me too hard ;) Anyway, just found this wonderfull encoder, LAME :) I've noticed that it seems to raise the dB level very slighty in the encoded mp3 files, found this out by loading the original .wav file into sound forge and the mp3 one, "clipping"

When encoding 44.1 kHz audio to a 128kbit/sec mp3, lame by default cuts off the high end with a transition band of 15115 Hz - 15648 Hz. (32 kHz audio to 128kbit/sec mp3 has a slightly lower cut-off by default with a transition band of 14065 Hz - 14452 Hz.) If someone was encoding

Quality (default value Normal): With the LAME encoder, you can specify the output quality; thus you can trade off encoding time against sound quality. The default (normal) is recommended, since the high output option might cause ringing artifacts at lower bit-rates. The voice quality is
