Sorry, you never mentioned bitrate and you said "I'm not very good with this", so I was addressing things that I thought you may not have taken into account.. > I want this for archiving - saving time and space with more albums on >one CD.

Okay, as for LAME, there are a bewildering number of options, and I suspect that unless you started your tests sometime last fall you haven't gotten through all the possible incarnations yet. :) Perhaps you might get some good tips out of the r3mix site. http://www.r3mix.net After reading the "Quality" page, you may want to try out the --r3mix preset and see if it works for you. They claim that it is the best comprimise between quality and size and they give all the reasons and testing (extensive, I think) done to come to this conclusion. Not to mention, it's a hell of a lot easier than typing: "--nspsytune --vbr-mtrh -V1 -mj -h -b96 --lowpass 19.5 --athtype 3 --ns-sfb21 2 -Z --scale 0.98 -X0" :) Good luck!
