Here is what I found out: There are some help screens available by entering "dss /?" (without the quotes). The numbers specifying the audio formats are to be found in dss.ini. The /SSF switch sends sound parameters, like this: dss infile.wav outfile.mp3 /T /P10 /SSF/BR128000/SMJS This command will convert (/T) the file infile.wav from WAV format to outfile.mp3 (MP3 format, /P10) with a bitrate of 128kBit/s in JointStereo mode. Note, that there are NO spaces after the /SSF switch. If You leave out /SSF and following DSS defaults to 256kBit/s an Dual Channel. DSS uses the LAME routines to encode to MP3 which sound ok, even on a hifi stereo. Of course MP3 is NOT CD quality. HTH. Regards Joerg -- Arachne V1.70, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
