This was taken from http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/USAGE
wich is part of the guide to command line options:
=======================================================================
options guide:
=======================================================================
These options are explained in detail below.
Quality related:
-m m/s/j/f/a mode selection
-k disable all filtering
-d allow block types to differ between channels
--athonly ignore psy-model output, only use masking from the ATH
--voice experimental voice encoding mode
--noshort disable short blocks
-q n Internal algorithm quality setting 0..9.
0 = slowest algorithms, but potentially highest quality
9 = faster algorithms, very poor quality
-h same as -q2
-f same as -q7
It's probably a english problem in the way that i was trying to say
that way should use a higher value in -q when
a normal computer these days can compress faster even when you choose a
wigh quality scheme (like -q 0)
Using that option on my Pentium III 600Mhz i can get compression times
in the order of 2.5
What i was trying to say is that there is no need (IMHO) of using a
lower quality algorithm in these days unless speed is
really a concern.
Sorry i need to pay more attention to the way i write. Didn't want to
induce anyone in mistakes ...
