You can't limit to a certain % of CPU, but you can set tell the kernel to give the LAME task a low priority in comparison to other threads. On your Windows boxes, use the Windows "start" command with /LOW to set the priority. For example, start /LOW /B /WAIT lame -b 256 -q 0 foo.wav start /? for more info. On your Linux box, use the "nice" command with a high number. nice 15 lame -b 256 -q 0 foo.wav _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
