So, -q1 is theoretically the highest quality setting? What does it alter in 3.85? ---- Begin Original Message ---- From: Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thu, 03 Aug 2000 23:17:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MP3 ENCODER] Re: 3.86a, bug with -h ?

Robert: thanks for explanation. For my ears, Takehiro's scalefac_scale feature will not give better results. The quality of many tracks is a little bit lower. I have found no tracks with better quality. The file size is reduced, but for my opinion, the quality is more important. So i think, setting this feature as default is not a good idea. I'm using an electrostatic headphone, Stax SR-40. It is a little bit old, but its quality is very high.
